ASSALAMUALAIKUM W.H.B AND WELCOME TO MY PAGE.

This project apply the NodeMCU ESP8266 as it is a microcontroller embbed together with Wi-Fi
along with four sensors DHT22, Ultrasonic, Soil Moisture and pH sensor.

This blog shall shows progress report/logbook on my Final Year Project.
Every processes/articles/works/researches regarding the project were updated in this blog.

Thank you for visiting this blog. Hopes that anyone reading these posts could gain more knowledges ❤😁.

Week 5

 Submission of the Project Title and Ongoing research in the study.

In the 5th week, students are require to submit their project title to their PIC course section, as for mine it is submitted to the communication technology section, Dr. Punitha. My title are approved by academic and I shall continue my research study in the agriculture activities which are emphasized in paddy field plantation that are own by one farmers which are located in different area. In this study, I need to verify a few information such as sensors that would operate in my project, how to operate the LoRa technology in management and monitoring systems.

I started to gather this information of all the usage of sensors and the LoRa technology functionality. Then, I started writing report on the background studies for my topic. Below shows the information I gather for the LoRa parameters in comparing with other network technologies that are used in IoT.

Comparison between network technologies.

As we can see in figure above, it is say that the most obvious benefit of utilizing this LoRa technology is the power consumption of this system is very low compare to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee. Although the data rate of LoRa is the smallest compare to others, but it is suitable for collecting small data for this management and monitoring systems that I will develop. As we know, I am are trying to cut cost for this farmer living in the rural area, therefore picking LoRa as our wireless technology is fair. Not only does it help to upgrade their lifestyle but also ease their management system and spare much more time when managing their cultivated land.

Other comparison for data rate and energy consumption of LoRa Technology.
