1.1 Background of Project

This project title is an Interfacing Monitoring Device and GUI Development. This project is develop by using MS VB software and the Humidity- Temperature Sensor module. This project is creating the GUI program to monitor the temperature and humidity data from Humidity-Temperature Sensor module. The GUI program was written by MS VB software. This project has overcome some limitation for some product functionality in the market.

In this project, the MS VB is used to development GUI program. The data from module is send in ASCII form. The communication between program and module is serial interface (RS232). The program receive and decode the ASCII to decimal value. Then, the actual value of temperature and humidity will display in the computers. By using the MS VB, monitoring program can be easily run on MS window base without any extra software.

1.2 Project Objectives

The main objective of this project is the temperature and humidity monitoring system program development. In this project, the temperature and humidity values from Humidity-Temperature Sensor module can be display via the program on PC with MS windows based. So, this program can help the user to view the environment temperature and humidity condition easily.

(22)

1.3 Problem Statement

In past few years, temperature is measured using a traditional method such as the thermometer application which is low in cost. It popular because it is simple and easy to implement but it also have many disadvantages like less accurate and reading error or parallax. Beside that, it is also difficult to analyze the data because the data should be recorded into the piece of paper which is difficult to transfer into graph.

Nowadays, temperature and humidity were measured using digital environment meter, digital temperature and humidity sensor, temperature and humidity recorders and etc. The conventional method is not popular because the modern method was widely used. The modern method is more accurate, have a wide range of applications, easy to implements and also use the latest technology.

The modern method has many advantage but quite expensive and require high cost to develop because it need to combine many system to produce complete system. Thus, software application has become more popular to overcome this problem. The program was written to have temperature and humidity monitoring, recording and alerting functions.

(23)

1.4 Scope of Work

This Interfacing Monitoring Device and GUI Development project is basically to build the temperature and humidity monitoring program. The temperature and humidity data were provide by the Humidity-Temperature Sensor module to the PC for development the monitoring program.

The temperature and humidity monitoring GUI program was developed. A GUI program is written by using MS VB Programming software to analysis the temperature and humidity data from the Humidity-Temperature Sensor module. MS VB Programming tools were used to design the GUI interface. The MS Office Access was used as the database to record and store the temperature and humidity data displayed on the program interface.

1.5 Thesis Outlines

This report consists of five chapters: Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Result and Discussion, and Conclusion and Suggestion.

In chapter 1 the Introduction of the project is discussed. It contains all about project objective, project background, problem statement, scope of work, and overview of remaining chapters.

In chapter 2 the Literature Review and the background studies is explained. It had reviews some references from previous project, journal, article, books and datasheet. All the data was useful to success this project.

(24)

Chapter 4 are the Result and Discussion. It shows the result achieved in this project. This chapter discusses more detail about the result and analysis for the GUI

program and also the problem facing during completing this project.
