Project Progress

SMART FARM, XCP Protocol

Last Week's Project

SMART FARM.

-Worked with team mates and presented a proposal for our work.
-Planning on picking up smart farm project from where it was left off by introducing more features
such as energy harvesting and diversifying its applications in other areas such as cattle monitoring.
- Design of a rough overview of the energy harvesting


CHALLENGES AND FEASIBLE SOLUTIONS

- Learning previous smart farm's codes and algorithms
- Facing difficulties in choosing the right devices to implement energy harvesting for smart farm
- Integrating our ideas into the project
- Finding feasible and cost efficient means to realise project
- Limited time frame.

XCP

- Researched on various powerline protocols for home automation.
- Researched on alternative Microcontroller unit for Xeline's XPLC30 unit
- Had a meeting with Dr. kim concerning our project work in which he explained the basics of this
protocol and its intended use of our project (enhance this protocol and commercialize it).

CHALLENGES
- Insufficient information on xeline's hardware devices and design used in developing protocol
- Facing difficulties in optaining models of xeline's xmdl-3000 board
- xeline company shut down, so impedance to information and communication is high.

This Week's Project

SMART FARM.

- Share ideas which had research on with team
- Discuss design of energy harvesting with team members
- Integrate energy design with the rest of the smart farm system design
- Researching more new ideas for project and sharing with team members
- Scheduling appointments with team

XCP
- Having issues with attaching wearables on cows
- research on other powerline protocols, codes and implementation.
- Present information and discuss with team
- Set project target for next week.
