41.4 ScopeThe main emphasis of this project is to design a system which the farmerscan monitor their plants according to the categories their need. Furthermore, I willbe concentrating on the data transferring part. So, several scopes had been outlined.The scope of my part can be divided into software and hardware. Softwareincludes using C language to programme the GPS module which is known asITrax02, using the AT Command to communicate with the GSM module and usingthe iSuite SDK Environment to flash the firmware into the b’AT. The hardware forthis project will also include the iTrax02 GPS receiver, the GSM modem and aprepaid SIM card to let the GSM module to send SMS to the back end server.1.5 PlanningFor this semester, the work that will be done for this project is studying ofliterature review and the theory related to this project. Information on electronicagriculture monitoring, GPS, GSM and BSmart A300 b’AT unit will be studiedand be put into literature review. Past research related on this project and the topicmentioned above will also be studied. For the programming part, the type offunction that will mostly be used is the pointer. I will be referring mostly to themanual given by BSmart like the iSuite SDK – system architecture overview andiTalk programmer’s manual. Training given by the BSmart company on Augusthas help me a lot in my project. They had taught me system architecture of theb’AT, some useful programming method for this project, flashing the firmwareinto the b’AT unit and some AT command that will mostly be used in this project.For next semester, the main work that has been planned is writing thesource code for the system. I will be using the Visual C to write the source codeand it will be flash into the iTrax02 GPS receiver. The source code will be
