Title: Etching Process

METHODOLOGY (6)

CONTENT:

Etching is the process of using strong acid to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in the metal. The acid is FERRIC III CLORIDA ACID. This process is the part to make the connection in the circuit so that the current will flow in the circuit after all component has been installed.

In this process we have to make sure that the acid covering the whole of the PCB board to ensure all the connection be connected very well. 

OBJECTIVE:

1.) To learn how to do the etching process.

2.) To ensure all of the connections is correct and not disconnected or broken.

3.) To make sure the current will flow in the circuit once the components has been installed.

CONCLUSION:
I have successfully do the etching process and all the connections in the circuit is correct, so that the current will flow.

TITLE : DEVELOPMENT OF PCB LAYOUT

METHODOLOGY (5)

CONTENT:

 

 

Development of PCB layout is a process after I have completely done to design my schematic diagram. Schematic diagram have to be convert into PCB layout design before can be proceed to another process which is to make it easy to print out on the covered of stick paper, and then the PCB layout printed need to be iron on PCB board to make the design were stick on the PCB board. The last step is etching by using FERRIC III CLORIDA ACID, to make the connection in the circuit so that the voltage will flow in the circuit after all component has been attached.

OBJECTIVE:
1.) To learn how to complete the PCB layout connection.
2.) To learn how to do the etching process.
3.) To know that the connection should be correct and not disconnected between all the component.

CONCLUSION:
I have successfully completing the PCB layout design without any problems.

Title: Protel Software

LITERATURE REVIEW (6)


CONTENT:

Protel stands for "Procedure Oriented Type Enforcing Language". It is a programming language created by Nortel Networks and used on telecommunications switching systems such as the DMS-100. Protel-2 is the object-oriented version of Protel.

In my project, Protel software was used to design the schematic diagram of my project and also can convert the schematic diagram into PCB layout. All the process is needed to make the complete circuit. Too many software can use to design the schematic diagram for example Proteus 7 Professional software. But I choose to use Protel to design the schematic diagram. 

OBJECTIVE:

1.) To design the complete circuit and can simulate without error.

2.) To convert schematic diagram into PCB layout and proceed to another process which etching process.

3.) To make the connection in PCB layout and make sure all the connections is correct.

CONCLUSION:

In this stage, I don't have too many problems but sometimes error occurs and I can solve it with others help. Finally the schematic diagram was successfully done and can proceed to another process.

Title: Microchip MPLAB IDE V8.66

LITERATURE REVIEW (5)


CONTENT:

The MPLAB X IDE is the new graphical, integrated debugging tool set for all of Microchip’s more than 800 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit MCUs and digital signal controllers, and memory devices. It includes a feature-rich editor, source-level debugger, project manager, software simulator, and supports Microchip’s popular hardware tools, such as the MPLAB ICD 3 in-circuit debugger, PICkit™ 3, and MPLAB PM3 programmer. Based on the open-source NetBeans platform, MPLAB X runs on Windows® OS, MAC® OS and Linux, supports many third-party tools, and is compatible with many NetBeans plug-ins.

MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a free, integrated toolset for the development of embedded applications employing Microchip's PIC^® and dsPIC^® microcontrollers. MPLAB IDE runs as a 32-bit application on MS Windows^®, is easy to use and includes a host of free software components for fast application development and super-charged debugging. MPLAB IDE also serves as a single, unified graphical user interface for additional Microchip and third party software and hardware development tools. Moving between tools is a snap, and upgrading from the free software simulator to hardware debug and programming tools is done in a flash because MPLAB IDE has the same user interface for all tools.

In my project I was used  Microchip MPLAB IDE V8.66 as a software to create the programming. Even though I have learn before about MPLAB IDE in Micro-P and Micro-C subject, but I still need someone to help to develop the program depends on my project. 

OBJECTIVE:

1.) To create the program base on the project.

2.) To be familiar with this software and learn how to create the program as well.

CONCLUSION:

Finally, I have successfully create my own program with others help, even though too many error and not success at the beginning but now the program can run and function according to the flow of project.
