Week 12 - Final Progress!

On this week's progress, I contributed my team in the making of ladder diagram for our application. I draw several black dots in each rule which represent a blank space for a statement and a horizontal line to represent a rule. Moreover, I also implemented a feature, in which the icon can be changed to logical AND with NOT by simply touch it once by the user when the icon had been placed into a rule. I also did not forgot to implements the logical OR for statements. Therefore, the user can make a logical OR by simply touching the black dot next to the statements substitute, and touch the black dot on the top of it.

Week 11 - Working on PLC in Android Application

After my team had brainstorming on how we used PLC's ladder diagram into our application, we decided to make it inside a canvas. To start off, we tried to make a simple logical AND which can be improved by implementing logical AND with NOT, and OR later on. Therefore, every condition-action will be represented as one rule in a horizontal line as seen as below:

Week 10 - PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)

On this week, my team finally decided to meet with our client to show our progress. We also would like to tell him that we had icon's swapping bug which cannot be resolved. After we gave him all of our progress and information about the project, he told us to learn about PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to be used as our application's concept.

I had a research for this new concept for our application and I still find it quite related to our project. In PLC, there is a ladder diagram which consists of logical AND, AND with NOT, and OR. These logical statements were similar with what our client want previously. Therefore, my group members started to think on how to use this ladder diagram to our application.
