PROGRESS UPDATE OF FINAL YEAR PROJECT

   During week 7, we have workshop 3, "Thesis Writing and Proposal Writing Workshop for Chapter 4 and Chapter 5".      Basically, chapters 4 and 5 will do it during my FYP2 next semester. But, students FYP1 also needed to participate in the workshop so that we would gain more flow and plan on how the results of our project need to be that will follow the requirement for this course. Chapter 4 is for "Results & Discussion" while Chapter 5 is for "Conclusion & Recommendation". In writing chapter 4, I've learned that the results for degree qualifications would be different from diploma students. In degree, our results need to be more detailed and also need to be compared with the literature review (LR) that we've used in chapter 2 to see that either our results obtained will be approximately the same or not as other experiments. Other than that, I've learned: 1) Do not worry if our project is not 100% achieve the objectives, as that explan

  UPDATE OF MY PROJECT/REPORT:     I drafted the flowchart of this  “Biometric ATM Machine with Smart Security System”. The flowchart is the details of the process and flows throughout the system in collecting the data collection, input, and output process. The function of the flowchart is to be a guide in understanding the project and it will be easy to troubleshoot the project later on. Based  on the flowchart, to authenticate a bank account, user must provide their account number or phone number. If the account is valid, user must place their finger on a fingerprint scanner to confirm the owner authentication. The ESP32 will connect to MySQL to define whether it is an emergency fingerprint or a fingerprint for withdrawal. If a fingerprint provided is for withdrawal, the user will go directly to the display to enter the withdrawal amount. If emergency fingerprints are used, Blynk will be notified the police station and the user will then brought to a display for enter amount of money

 During week 5, we have our 2nd workshop which is "Thesis Writing and Proposal Writing". During this session, we've learned: 1) Thesis and proposal format 2) Thesis writing and proposal writing for chapter 1 -3 After joining the workshop, I can see how to do the objectives and problem statement of a project. Basically, the ideas of objectives will come after we've determined the problem statement of the current issues regarding the project that we will do. Next, chapter 2 is for the literature review (LR). In this chapter, we will need to find the LR that can be used to help our project in any aspect for example their methodology, components, or even results. It is good to use LR that we can compare their results. It is so that we can use the author's results to improve our own project results and make it better. We were advised to use at least 10 LR to do our FYP project. Aside, chapter 3 is for the methodology. This chapter is where all the components, method, b
