Final Year Project 2 (Week 12)

Week 12

Title of activity:

• Make list of poster requirements

Description:

Before making a poster, I have seen some examples of posters available at FYP room to get the idea. Most of the posters in the room belong to students who have taken the course of FYP.

Procedure:

The poster will include some of these requirements with explanation

            ·         Project Title

            ·         Student’s name

            ·         University

            ·         Supervisor’s name

            ·         Abstract  

            ·     Objectives

            ·         Methodology

            ·         Diagram

            ·         Results

                Conclusion

     

    

Final Year Project 2 (Week 11)

Week 11

Title of activity:

• Do selection of the program

Procedure:

     

     1.    Design the program using PICC compiler software

     2.    Do selection for the program is important because the program is the main process for         the project. For this project, PICC compiler was selected because the program is simple       and easy to understand.

     3.    Steps to write down the program:

•        Open PICC compiler shortcut
•     Open new file
•     Save as new file. The new file that we save (example : HAZIQ) will have extension c             (example : HAZIQ.c)
•       Write down the program

      Outcome:

      

Final Year Project 2 (Week 10)

Week 10

Title of activity:

• Apply the components on copper board and do the soldering process

Procedure:

  1.    To solder the components on the board according to the PCB design for each circuit.

       2.    To make a connection for all component on the copper board.

       3.    Soldering components on PIC circuit (Figure 1)

       4.    Soldering components on Relay circuit (Figure 2)

       5.    Top view: PIC circuit (Figure 3)

       6.    Bottom view: PIC circuit (Figure 4)

       7.    Top view: Relay circuit (Figure 5)

       8.    Bottom view: Relay circuit (Figure 6)

    

    

    Outcome:

Conclusion:

After soldering the entire component on the copper board. The circuit must be troubleshoot to check whether the components are connected properly according to the PCB layout.

Final Year Project 2 (Week 9)

Week 9

Tittle of activity:

Make a drilling process after etching the circuit design.

Description:

Holes through a PCB are typically drilled with small-diameter drill bits made of solid coated tungsten carbide. Coated tungsten carbide is recommended since many board materials are very abrasive and drilling must be high RPM and high feed to be cost effective. Drill bits must also remain sharp so as not to mar or tear the traces. Drilling with high-speed-steel is simply not feasible since the drill bits will dull quickly and thus tear the copper and ruin the boards.

Procedure:

1.  In this project, I am using the Pro’s Kit super mini drill 12V to make the drilling process (Figure 1).
2. Next, drill the holes using a driller (Figure 2).
3. This is the result after the board had been rubbed by sandpaper to remove the remaining copper that not been covered by carbon ink. Lastly, this circuit is ready to be constructed with the components (Figure 3).

      Outcome:

      

Final Year Project 2 (Week 8)

Week 8

Title of activity:

Etching process on the copper board according to the PCB layout

Procedure:

1. Clothes iron will be used to iron the PCB design to attach on the surface of copper board (Figure 1).
2. After attaching the PCB design on to the copper board. It will be placed into the etching acid. This process takes about 20 minutes to remove the remaining copper that is not needed (Figure 2).
3. The results of the etching process. Copper is not needed will be eroded, only copper that covered by carbon ink will remain on the board and form a circuit (Figure 3).

      Outcome:
