This project has been a very rewarding experience for me. As I am not working in the semi-con industry, this project has given me a chance to get more exposure in the field of electronics. As this project consists of both hardware and software, I was given the opportunity to get some hands- on and design experience on the hardware part. In addition, the development of software algorithm also allows me to incorporate the reasoning and logical skills.
Throughout the development phase of this project, many aspects of the electronic, mechanical and programming have been touched on and it has been an interesting. Most of the time is spent on the software portion. The most challenging issues that I faced are writing and debugging of software algorithm codes. Many areas need to be studied and considered thoroughly as I am not familiar with microcontroller and the programming language.
Overall, I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in this project due to its broad engineering nature in areas of hardware and software design. I have learned to source for solutions when problems are encountered. This project has greatly improved my project management skills. Finally I believed what I have learned throughout the course especially in this module will greatly help me in my future career
