Second week in Singapore, time to do the Raspberry Pi Project. In the first day, we departed to IDA and learnt about some Raspberry Project. So many samples of the project, one of them is 3D Printing that can print 3D object. It works by layering plastic then make 3D shape.
After that, we discuss about the item list of our project. And we made some conclusion to decided total price of items. Then we went to Sim Lim Tower to bought all items.
Second day, we did our project for the first time in E53A. Title of our project is “PrevenThief Pi”. That is a tool that can help elderly to prevent if any fake person diguise to be evergreen official. So that’s way some material of elderly have been loss. This project is using card that contains QR Code to indicated Evergreen Official. If Evergreen Official want to enter elderly’s room so he must tapping his card to show he is Evergreen Official or not.
To make Preventhief Pi, we need some hardware like:
- Raspberry Pi as main of the project (microprocessor)
- SD Card as (saving media)
- Ultrasonic Sensor as sensor detection if any person in front of sensor
- Web Camera use to scanning QR Code
- Pi Camera use to capture person that in front of the door
- LCD as display evergreen official’s biodata
- RGB LCD display notification if Evergreen official want to enter
- Speaker show alert (voice) if Evergreen official want to enter
We have finished installation, and configuration of Ultrasonic sensor to the Pi camera. So Pi camera can use to capture if the person in front of camera. Third day we finished the installation and QR Code configuration. So web camera can scan QR Code and we have done configuration to check that QR Code in card same or not with database. Fourth day, we finished output of the project, like showing notification on RGB LCD, display biodata of Evergreen Official on LCD and show alert as voice by speaker.
Last day, that we have to done our project. We made a simulation like home (room). There were to display inside and outside of the room. For inside, we place speaker and LCD, for outside we place Pi Camera, web camera and RGB LCD. After that we were going to present our project.
I got a lot of experience after doing this project. For example, I have to know how is the problem comes up and interview the subject like elderly. I got a lot of beneficial too, example increase my technical skill and my soft skill to learn how to be good team work. So that’s way our project was done.
