iv. Zigbee<br />
Arduino Uno is a device that acts similarly to a microcontroller unit. In this<br />
project, Arduino is the perfect microcontroller due to its high performance and special<br />
features. The Arduino Uno is an open-source electronic prototyping platform based on<br />
flexible, easy-to-use hardware and s<strong>of</strong>tware. Further explanation on this unit is discussed<br />
in chapter 2 and 3. The sensing circuit <strong>system</strong> consists <strong>of</strong> Liquefied Petroleum Gas<br />
(LPG) sensor, MQ 6 and alcohol <strong>gas</strong> sensor, MQ 3. These sensors are used to detect the<br />
presence <strong>of</strong> specified <strong>gas</strong> in the surroundings area. The output <strong>system</strong> consists <strong>of</strong> LEDs,<br />
buzzer and exhaust fan. Zigbee or xbee will transfer sensor data read from Arduino port<br />
to a computer in a <strong>wireless</strong> connection.<br />
The s<strong>of</strong>tware design are divided into three parts that are:<br />
i. Arduino programming<br />
ii. Zigbee programming<br />
iii. LABVIEW design<br />
Arduino s<strong>of</strong>tware is used to write the programming for the Arduino board<br />
microcontroller. On the other hand, X-CTU is used to program zigbee in order for the<br />
data to be transferred. Meanwhile, the LABVIEW Graphical User Interface (GUI) is<br />
used to monitor the level <strong>of</strong> <strong>gas</strong> concentration.
