The Taguchi Gas Sensor

After doing some research and some advise from Tn Hj.Dr. Zainuddin i finally choose the Taguchi gas sensor (TGS2600) to apply in this project, , TGS2600 will be chose as a gas detector due to the small size, high sensitivity and lower price compared to other gas sensor. This sensor is widely used in many sensor and detector applications.

• Why i choose TGS 2600?

1. This sensor is widely used in many applications such as in robotic machinery, smart extinguisher, aromatherapy sensing and many more. The characteristic of this sensor has been compared with the newly developed sensor for benchmarking purposes. This shows that the TGS2600 is a very reliable sensor for detecting air contaminant level in the environment.
2. The TGS 2600 has high sensitivity to low concentrations of gaseous air contaminants such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide which exist in cigarette smoke. The sensor can detect hydrogen at a level of several ppm. Figaro also offers a microprocessor (FIC02667) which contains special software for handling the sensor's signal for appliance control applications

Meeting with Supervisor

In this weeks meeting with Tn Hj.Dr. Zainuddin,  we went through the project plan i created the week previous. The project plan included the features of sensor which I wanted to include in the project and ideas about each and how i would design it. In our last discussion i agree with Sir Zainuddin idea to apply the Taguchi gas sensor in my project due to it is the good sensor

Estimating the Budget

This week i not have many class due to the public holiday. so, my friend and i went to the Jalan Pasar to survey the price of the component, estimating the exact budget for my incoming final year project and to complete the proposal report that i need to submit to my supervisor . From my surveillance,the price is reasonable and still put on my budget. Alhamdulillah, my plan will going smoothly insyaALLAH.
