Week 2

 I have received the FYP title registration receipt from Dr. Sabry, which indicates that I have been registered in UniKL BMI's system for the completion of my FYP 1.

I also received an article from Dr. Sabry which discusses the design of a quantum cascade laser-based multi-gas sensor for ambient air monitoring, which relates to my project. What I understand from the project in the article is that it focuses on monitoring CO, NO, NO2, N2O and SO2 and consists of two modules, a rack that encloses the laser driver, power supply and data-acquisition-card and a PC that displays the measurements of the gases detected.

Furthermore, I looked up suitable sensors for CO, NO, NO2 and SO2 should it be required for me to add these sensors to my project, but could only manage to find Arduino-compatible sensors for CO. The rest of the sensors are professional-level electrochemical sensors that are costly (Around 300 MYR ++ each).

Lastly, after Dr. Sabry consulted with Dr. Muhammad Noor about the bill-of-materials for my project, Dr. Muhammad Noor suggested I look up the Arduino Nano 33 IoT (ABX00027) instead, which comes equipped with a u-blox NINA-W10 module that allows wireless connectivity to Bluetooth, Arduino IoT  cloud, Blynk, IFTTT, Azure, Firebase and AWS IoT core softwares which may allow me to display the readings of my project on a computer instead of a LCD display.
