Facebook Group Evidence

In this part I am going to include the evidence for our Facebook group that we created for this project at the beginning of the project. As you can see the screen print shows to you members  of the group and how we communicated while doing the project.

1. This screen print shows to you three members’ for this project which is:-

• Jeffrey Gillespie
• Serif Cicek
• Sahra Shukulatiina (Leyla Abdirahman)

Above names that you see is our Facebook usernames.

2)  This screen print also displays all the files that we upload in our Facebook group in order to share the project group members.

3)  This screen print also displays to you one of the group member uploaded the project last version of the project.

4) This screen print demonstrations to you the project images that group members uploaded in our Facebook group.

5) This screen shows to you after I had discuss with Team Leader  so we decided to have Contribution Page in order the lecturer to know what each of us done for the project.

6)  This screen print demonstrations to you the issue that I had my LCD  on 11th February 2016. Basically my LCD didn’t display anything that time because the LCD bright was too much to see the text so in order to fix that I used the potentiometer to set the contrast of the display so I turned the potentiometer to slowly from left to right in order to adjust the contrast.

7) This screen print shows to you  the presentation that the group member uploaded in our Facebook group on Friday 26th February 2016. Also quick message to make sure that group member if he submit the final report.

Market Research for mypod

According to our research there are lots of different system that is already available in the market, but none of them have all of the exactly the same features as ours product and some of their identical features or the same hardware components are used differently.  Although we came up this unique idea and features for our finale project’s product by considering people in need and how we could help them on a big scale as this system give users more power and listening options in a traditional format. 

Our project is also about helping people to organised their own personalized music system in a cheaper and easier way.  For instance, we found that some of the existing product such as fingerprint sensor, has the same LCD and Fingerprint scanner feature as in our product, but most of them are designed differently as you can see below some of our research links of mypod equipment such as:-

Project Jarvis Home Automation Demo – Fingerprint Scanner: – This is home automation security system which uses a fingerprint scanner. This scanner can store a total of 162 different fingerprint ID’s and a single scan of your finger will arm your entire home and even connect to a custom built laser door sensor!

Sliding Finger scanner based secured gate entry system:- This project includes a finger print scanner that is sliding type. This finger print scanner is much different as secure than thumb type scanner and is not easy to interface. I have interfaced this with 8051 microcontroller to control a motorized gate. If it recognizes the finger it will open the gate.

Project Fingerprint Door Access: – This is home security system which uses a fingerprint scanner and uses different fingerprint ID’s and a single scan of your finger will arm your entire home and even allows you to access your door.
