Week Twelve

Objective:

  • To buy component that needed to build circuit
  • To construct circuit based on simulation

Procedure:

This week we went to Jalan Pasar to buy components and takes our sensor that been  order. We still used the simulation circuit as our circuit event the simulation not running well. So, here is the list of our components:

  1. Resistor 
  2. Capacitor
  3. PIC16F877A 
  4. LCD
  5. LED 
  6. Bluetooth Module
  7. Force Sensitive Resistance
  8. Push Button
  9. Battery 9V
  10. Voltage Regulator
  11. 4Mhz Resonator
  12. Rectifier Regulator
  13. PCB Board

After that, we design the PCB of our project circuit that we also used Proteus. We printed the PCB layout on glossy paper. To attach the ink of circuit layout to the PCB board, we ironed the paper to the PCB between 8 to 10 minutes. After ironed, the PCB needed to be soaked and shaken in a Ferrite Chloride to remove the unused copper. After finished, we need to make sure that all the connection of line in good condition. If have any line disconnect, just add the connection with marker pen. We drilled holes at the PCB board to put component's leg.Then, we arranged the circuit according to the simulation and solder the component .

Week Eleven

Objective:


  • To complete the simulation for the circuit
  • To adjust the coding according to the circuit that been simulated

Procedure:

This week we completed our simulation in Proteus. Bluetooth does not have in the list of component in the Proteus so we download file to add Bluetooth in list of component in the Proteus. Here is the link to download the file for Bluetooth : Bluetooth for Proteus
Before this we just connect both of the PIC tx and rx leg with jumper wire, so now we already replaced it with Bluetooth in the Proteus.

To completing the coding, we asked help from my partner's cousin that have more experiences in doing microcontroller to combine codings that we had found before this. Finally the coding was completed. To test either the project success or not, we try to combine the coding in the Proteus. When we ran the circuit, all the connection working but the LCD did not display anything. The LCD did have connection, maybe because not all pin of the component have in the simulation.

Week Ten

Objective:


  • To learn how to write final report/ thesis

Procedure:

This week we have class for the final report writing that handle by Miss Pusparini Dewi bin Abd. Aziz at TTL1,Unikl BMI from 2.30pm until 5.30 pm. Distribution of percentage for the final report are:


  1. Abstract (10%)
  2. Introduction (10%)
  3. Literature Review (10%)
  4. Methodology (20%)
  5. Result & Discussion (30%)
  6. Conclusion & Future Development (10%)
  7. Organization/Format (10%) 
They also provide details of final report format which contains about font type and size, margin of page, spacing and etc. Here I attached a picture and link for example guideline to write final report.

Week Nine

Objective:

  • To find datasheet for new component
  • To order sensor

Procedure:

For this week, we need to find data sheet for our new component  which are Force Sensitive Resistance and Bluetooth HC-05 & HC-06.

When we went to Jalan Pasar to survey price for our sensor, most of the component's shop does not sell FSR. Finally we found a shop that sells the sensor but we need to order because they need to order from supplier. So, we order our sensor.
