Preparation for Presentation next week...

Below just a picture of summary my presentation next week, Week 11 which is access control system, Android applications and Arduino with fingerprint sensor that important in this project.

Week Nine

Getting Started with Arduino 

What Arduino is and why you'd want to use it. 

Installation: Step-by-step instructions for setting up the Arduino software and connecting it to an Arduino Uno.

•  Windows ("Getting Started with Arduino on Window")

Environment      :  Description of the Arduino development environment and                                         how to change the default language.

Libraries            :  Using and installing Arduino libraries.

Troubleshooting :  Advice on what to do if things don't work.

Getting Started with Arduino on Window

This link below explains how to connect your Arduino board to the computer and upload your first sketch.

1. Get an Arduino board and USB cable
2. Download the Arduino environment
3. Connect the board
4. Install the drivers
5. Launch the Arduino application
6. Open the blink example
7. Select your board
8. Select your serial port
9. Upload the program

Week Eight

WHAT IS ARDUINO?

First, Arduino is a microcontroller. A microcontroller is the computer that allows your project to “think,” or at least to process inputs and outputs. Inputs are things like sensors (light sensors, thermometers, gyros, etc.), and human-interface elements (buttons, switches, knobs). Outputs are any electrical elements that you want to be able to control, such as lights, displays, motors and servos. A microprocessor has all the basic parts of a computer (processor, memory, input/output pins) on a single chip, and runs software that you load onto it from your computer, allowing it to manipulate the outputs based on data it receives from the inputs.

Next, Arduino is a single board. This means that everything you need for basic Arduino usage comes soldered to one little circuit board. The board houses the microcontroller, and provides convenient access to the microcontroller’s input and output pins. A single-board microcontroller is different than a single-board computer, like the Raspberry Pi, in that it doesn’t have the flexible, general purpose interfaces that allow a human to interact with it, such as video output, and the microcontroller’s hardware isn’t powerful enough to run a full-blown operating system.

Moving on, Arduino is open source. As open source hardware, the schematics for Arduino are available to anyone for free, so if you wanted you could buy the electronic components and a circuit board, and build your own Arduino. Many people build and sell third-party Arduino hardware.

Week Seven

Among component will be used in my project 

Arduino Uno R3

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).

Fingerprint Sensor

Secure with biometrics - this all-in-one optical fingerprint sensor will make adding fingerprint detection and verification super simple. Connect to any microcontroller or system with TTL serial, and send packets of data to take photos, detect prints, hash and search. You can also enroll new fingers directly - up to 162 finger prints can be stored in the onboard FLASH memory. There's a red LED in the lens that lights up during a photo so you know it’s working.

Jumper cable

Breadboard jumper wire

Solenoid

Solenoids are a great way to induce linear motion for pushing, pulling or controlling switches and levers.

And of course Android Application as my data access for my fingerprint
