INTRODUCTION

A. MISSION

Our mission is to create a simple yet reliable air pollution detector.

B. VISION

Our vision is to let everyone to be aware of the air pollution and stop polluting the air.

C.OBJECTIVE
Our objective is to let every household to have our product so that any air pollution can be detected earlier and
quick action can be done.

D.BACKGROUND STORY

 We started this project due to the gas incident in Johor Bahru. 30 people were hospitalized in Johor
after being exposed to toxic waste dumped into river. The number of victims hospitalized over the toxic
fumes rose to 76 on the following day which is on 9 March 2019. We’re here to try and prevent this
incident happening again. We believe that if our product was available that time, the number of
hospitalized victims can be reduced.

LITERATURE REVIEW

DESIGN PROCESS

The robotics components used in this project are as follow:

1. Arduino Uno
2. Jumper wires
3. Servo Motor
4. VOC Gas Sensor MICS5524
5. Alligator cables
1.PREPARATION

In the preparation phase we discussed what project that we want to do. After the discussion, the gas incident in
Johor really caught our attention. We would like to create something small but meaningful.

So, with all the things we have, we started to choose the best idea which is a mobile air pollution detector.

2. INCUBATION

In the incubation phase, we really don’t know what to do. We just tried our best with the coding. It took much
longer than we thought. Problems here and there. However, with discussion we move on to the next level.

3.INSIGHT

Once the coding settled, we started with our sketch and design. How do we want our project to look like? We
did few sketches and tried to brainstorm and choose the best one.

4.EVALUATION

When we discuss together, we found that the best design will be the one that easily maintained. Our box can
be opened anytime to fix the cables inside. We also choose to let the sensor at the surface so it can detect air
pollution better.

5. ELABORATION

At the end, we came out with this

small, simple but really reliable air
pollution detector.
CODING

FLOW CHART

Once the Arduino Uno is on, it will set the position to 0, 0, 0. Then, it will start an infinite loop that it will read the
surrounding gasses. After that, the servo motor will spin to the left with the speed and width depending on the
reading and do the same on the other side. The number reading gets higher depending on how strong the gas
is. The stronger the gas, the higher the reading, the higher the number. If the number is small, it will make
small movements. If the number is big, it will make big movements.

ARDUINO IDE

We are using Arduino IDE to do this coding. #include<Servo.h> means it is adding the servo motor extension.
Int pos; means it is setting the position of the motor to 0, 0, 0. Void setup means it will run the code in it once.
Void loop is like a “forever” block. The reading is sent through the AO wire. The air it is reading will be renamed
to “reading”. Then, the signal is sent to the servo motor. The servo will spin to 0, reading, 0 in 10 milliseconds.
After that, the same will be done but will spin to the other side and all the code in the void loop will do this
repeatedly. So, when air reading is bad the servo motor will be doing a bigger movement.
