Abstract second part

This second partial we had a hard work.

We focus on the design and architecture of the system and software, specifically in the user and administrator interfaces which will be able to perform the actions of the user and an administrator. In addition to the general structure our server was configured so that it was online, on this way we can perform data collections and the creation of the database and communication between Arduino and application software.

In this period we collected the money to buy the necessary resources. All our work is being documented for a better organization of the project.

Dialog box & Shut down window

The dialog box is a box that contain contains the function or functions to shutdown, suspend operation & restart the computer.

the dialog box displays a window containing buttons Ok that is to accept the function, Cancel to cancel the operation of the window and a button for help on the operation of the dialog box, also contains a small dropdown menu with options to shutdown, restart or suspend computer.


When we push  the button Ok, the team will proceed to perform any of the three functions is selected.

Too, when we clicking the Cancel button, the computer cancel any function generated by the window, 
and proceed to close the dialog box.

when to click on the Help button, the team showed another small window where we show the help, he can use that window.

Summary & glossary

Summary
In this Project we will design a monitoring system capable of detecting environmental variables such as temperature, motion, atmospheric pressure and wind speed. It ill achieve using a programmable device and through wireless means may store and process them into a computer. Once the data reaches the computer equipment they will be stored in a database for later analysis and display the results on screen.

Dot & pixel

In many situations Dots Per Inch mix, hereinafter dpi, with the pixels when they are two totally different things, although they are linked in some way. To make it absolutely clear, ppp is a measure relative, not absolute as the sensor pixels, and can only be used on a printed medium, may be to print or scan, the end of the scan is like "desimprimir".
When we say that a picture is printed at 300 dpi, we mean having a density of 300 dots of ink in each inch (2.54 centimeters), just as when we speak of scan an image at 150 dpi are saying that the scanner is able to solve 150 different points in an inch.
So if someone says that your camera has a resolution of 72 dpi or 300 dpi can tell who is living quietly in a terrible mistake, PPPs are only a measure of printing.

Task 7

Task 7 Problem- solving

The best kind of printer for these users.

Someone who needs to:

1 print forms with two parts.  - Buy a dot-matrix printer
2 print high quality black and white copies. Buy a mono laser printer
3 print a lot of colour photos in a short time.  Buy a colour laser printer
4 print a few copies-colour and speed are not important. Buy a colour inkjet printer
5 print a few pages in colour. Buy a colour inkjet printer.

Give Advice

1.- You should buy dot-matrix printer because you need to print on multi-part forms.
2.- You should buy mono laser printer because you need to print high quality in black and white copies.
3.- You should buy laser printer because you need to print a lot of colour potos in a short time.
4.- You should buy colour inkjet printer because you need to print a few copies colour and the speed are not important.
5.- You should buy a colour inkjet printer because you need to print a few pages in colour.

PI Report


This integration project I realized several essential things an engineer such,like the use of Arduino to program several electronic practices, also understood several uses and applications that help us to better management practices with electronic as well as managing programming applied .

I also understood that programming Arduino you can make multiple uses over time will help us understand more about our career and progress in engineering and support and the best performance in each activity and project let us.
Finally using the Arduino programming environment electronics helped us a lot because the facts of each step is best understood in performing the duties and practices that cause it.
