WEEK 8

Title of Activities : Circuit Construction 2

Objective :  To know how to make PCB layout using ARES 7 Professional (included in Proteus 7)

Activities / Procedures :

1) This week we are focusing on PCB layout design using ARES 7 Professional. From schematic circuit that we design on Proteus 7, we can automatically transfer it into ARES 7.

2) We can design our own path of copper to connect between one component and another. Copper path need to be tidy and neat to ensure that the line of copper does not touch with one and another(short).

3) PCB layout are provided as below:

PCB LAYOUT WITH TOP COPPER FOR POWER SUPPLY

PCB LAYOUT WITHOUT TOP COPPER FOR POWER SUPPLY

PCB LAYOUT WITH TOP COPPER FOR MICRO CONTROLLER, LCD DISPLAY

PCB LAYOUT WITHOUT TOP COPPER FOR MICRO CONTROLLER, LCD DISPLAY

Problem encountered :

The problem that we face during designing PCB layout are technically on how to make a good layout based on standard procedure. Width,length,angle and position of component are essential item in designing Pcb layout.

Conclusion :

By using Pcb layout software, we can make layout faster instead using manual method that is draw using permanent marker that requires a very skilful hand-drawing.

WEEK 7

 WEEK 7

Title of Activities :  Circuit Construction

Objective : To make planned circuit using software Proteus 7

Activities / Procedures :

1)  We use Proteus software because it can be converted indirectly to PCB layout. It is an advantage compared to use Multisim because you can only simulate the circuit whereas Proteus can do both.

2) First circuit that we made was power supply 9v circuit because power supply is essential to electronic circuit. As shown below,this circuit were made using Proteus software  to build  circuit for our project.

Conclusion :
  Power supply circuit are mainly used in electronic instrument. However, voltage and current needed by load circuit depends on output voltage produced by power supply circuit.

WEEK 6

 WEEK 6

Title of  Activity : Make coding using MP Lab

Objective :  To make coding based on desired function.

Activities/ Procedures :

 1) At first, we try to make our own coding referring to available coding. Then, we try to run the program. Unfortunately, the coding have many error.

2) Then, we use other method that are copy the sample program that had proven success and use it for our program. The coding run successfully.


Problem Encountered:
  An error occurred when we try to compile the program. We tried to search for the error for almost three hour. Finally, we managed to find the error and able to compile the program.


Conclusion :

 Although the coding didn't perfect as for what we want, but in the silver lining, we managed to learn as it is some part of education related to electrical and electronic. This kind of knowledge can't be gained unless we experienced it for our self. .

WEEK 5

Title of Activity : Software development

Objective : To know how to use software for PIC micro controller which is MP LAB

Activities/Procedures :

1) On this week, we planned to study about micro controller as much as possible. During the tenure of learning this type of technology,we frequently asked for opinion and guidance from Unikl BMI technician(software department) and some lecturer that have specialty in programming.

2) As a result for what we've learning, we managed to do it with help from our friend that really put huge effort into our work. Example of our work is shown below.

Conclusion :
   From what we've learning throughout this activity, we can concluded that we have able to coding the program using MP Lab although it may not seem as terrific as others may seem.
