FYP S2 WEEK 10

Tittle of activity :

Step development basic burning programming

Objective :

To learn and understand better how to burn IC.

Content/procedure :

Step 1:

Launch PIC Kit 2 programming software by Selecting Start > Program > Microchip > PIC Kit 2

The following programming interface appears and notifies that the PIC Kit 2 and target device found and connected.

Step 2:

If device is successfully detected, the model name will appeared at “Device Configuration Area”

Step 3 :

For UIC00A, the “VDD Target” will automatically be 5.0. User should powered +5V to the target PIC.

Step 4 :

Go to File and select Import Hex. Browse for the Hex file location and open to start import the Hex file.

Step 5:

After Hex file has been successfully imported, the target device can be programmed by clicking on Write. The PIC will be erased and programmed with the new Hex code imported. The operation status will display on the Status Window if writing is successful.

Step 6:

Push button is a special feature to load Hex file into the target device. Push button can be used after Programmer>Write on PIC kit Button is checked as figure below:

Step 7:

Pressed push button and the Hex file will automatically program into the target device.

Step 8 :

The program already successful Burning Program.

FYP S2 WEEK 9

Tittle of activity :

PCB fabrication...hardware step development

Objective :

PCB Drawing: PCB drawing is designed using Protel DXP 2005. Once the PCB layout has been correctly design, it is now prints out the layout on the A4 size transparent OHP paper. Note that, two types of printers are allowed to print the PCB layout, one is laser printer and the other is carbon type of printer such as Photostat machine. Inkjet and dot matrix type of printer will not work.

Content/procedure :

1. PCB Cutting: Cut photo PCB size according to the film size.

2. PCB Photo Etching: Expose the photo PCB in photo etching kit for 8-10minutes.

3. PCB Developing: Wash the PCB using PCB developer (white powder) for 2 min.

4. Acid Etching: Etching is a process that removes materials from such us unwanted copper from the PCB surface to achieve circuit design requirements. The etching process used in this project is called chemical etch or pattern etch.

Result:

PCB print layout

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

FYP S2 WEEK 6

Tittle of activity :

Briefing 2....start buying component

Objective :

Second briefing for this semester.

Content/procedure :

1. Report

In this week, there been held the FYP briefing to guide student about how to write the report properly and gain maximum marks and knowledge to implemented to the work environment.For the report writing updating process, the focus is more to the chapter 1, 2 and 3 but yet not finishing the chapter 3 (methodology) because the process of this project still ongoing and it will be updating from time to time.

2. Project

In this week I start to buy a component.
