week 12: making casing

HARDWARE

This project will require following hardware:

a)      1 x PIC16F873A

b)      1 x PJT 11 Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

c)      1 x LCD

d)      1 x Buzzer

e)      2 x Temperature Sensor (LM35)

f)       Other related electronic component

Interface PIC16F873A with Temperature Sensor (LM35)

Signal pin (Vout) from LM35 can be connected to either one of analog input pin (AN0-AN4) except AN3 (pin 5) but make sure the ADC configuration is correct. In fact, pin 5 (Vref+)from PIC should be given for 1V but it may has offset, so a variable resistor (VR1) was installed for voltage adjusting. For more stability, user is recommended add a capasitor (104) between the analog signal and GND for every analog input such as signal from LM35 and variable resistor (VR1).

Interface PIC16F873A with LCD

The 16 header pin should be soldered to the LCD first. The following table shows the LCD (2X16 character) connection:

PIN	PIN NAME	FUNCTION	CONNECTION
1	VSS	Ground	GND
2	VCC	Positive supply for LCD	5V
3	VEE	Contrast adjust connected to a preset for contrast adjusting
4	RS	Select register, select instruction or data register	RA2
5	R/W	Select read or write	GND
6	E	Start data read or write	RA5
7	DB0	Data bus pin	RC0
8	DB1	Data bus pin	RC1

FEATURES

Power Transistor (BD135)

-BD135 is used for controlling the DC brushless fan with sufficient current.

Temperature Sensor (LM35)

-In this project, two LM35s are used for two difference temperature. Vs of the LM 35 are given 5v and    the Vout pins are connected to AN0 and AN1 (PIC16F873A) separately.

PIC16F873A (Microcontroller)

This powerful (200 nanosecond instruction execution) yet easy-to-program (only 35 single word instructions).CMOS FLASH-based 8-bit microcontroller packs Microchip’s powerful PIC® architecture into an 28-pin package and is upwards compatible with thePIC16C5X, PIC12CXXX and PIC16C7X devices. The PICF873A features:

·         256 bytes of EEPROM data memory

·         Self programming

·         An ICD

·         2 Comparators

·         5 channels of 10-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D)converter

·         2 capture/compare/PWM functions

·         The synchronous  serial port can be configured as either 3-wire Serial Peripheral Interface(SPI™) or the 2-wire Inter- Integrated Circuit (I²C™) bus

·         A Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART)

All of these features make it ideal for more advanced level A/D applications in automotive, industrial, appliances and consumer applications.

week 10 : OVERVIEW

BD135 power transistor

-Capable of driver DC brushless fan (0.12A)

Temperature sensor (LM35DZ)

-Sensor gain, 10mV/°C (average slope)

-0-100°C

-LCD display (always display the value of the temperature)

Fans, LEDs and buzzer are activated when the certain temperature was detected.

week 9 : Flow Chart

week 8 :

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

PIC has been used to control the LED or buzzer directly for some other projects. But in this project, PIC cannot directly activate the DC brushless fan because it has not enough current.NPN power transistor (BD135) is required, so that dc brushless fan can be controlled by PIC.PIC16F873A will read the analog voltage (using ADC) from LM35 temperature sensor and display it on LCD display. A buzzer, LEDs or fans will be activated when temperature reach a certain temperature value.

For this project, temperature sensors (LM35) and cooling fans are connected to the circuit board through some wires and connectors. The length of the wires is various depend on the distance of certain where would be measured. Each polarity should be correctly connected. Differentiate the of the connector and please use 2510 connector for LM35 and 2532 connector for cooling fan.

week 6 :
Our Objective :  Save energy by setting the temperature heat or cool. Temperature controller designed to provide on/off control of heating and cooling. A thermostat is a device  for regulating the temperature of a system so that the system's temperature is maintained near a desired set point temperature. A thermostat may be a control unit for a heating or cooling system or a component part of a heater or air conditioner. The output of the sensor then controls the heating or cooling apparatus.

fifth week : Today, we had been to Jalan Pasar to buy the components. We didn't manage to buy some components. There's a few things that is out of stock and some are not available. We are planning to buy it later on. The component that are not available are :-

*we do some study to understand each of the component and circuit arrangement.

*the circuit diagram is important to understand the circuit operation before we do the simulation.

*we also still in process on simulation in order to understand the output from this device.So that's all we're doing in this week.

fourth week : holidays again...hehe...tuesday i will be back to beloved BMI..a new day has come...Three weeks had passed and we have took our fyp project up to one more level.This week we will have our third session with madam Fatin Liyana to discuss about the some unavailable components. till here for now. Catch us up later and thanks for everything..:)

Introduction (our TEMPERATURE SENSING)

 First of all I would like to thank to our advisor madam Fatin Liyana because she is willing to be our advisor for Fyp project. 
    The title for my fyp project is"Temperature Sensing".Let me introduce you all to my partner.She is Intan Shakila Jaafar.We do this project together and before this (last semester) we had done the report and proposal for this project in engineering design. So. it will become easier to do it.I hope so..huhu.

 first week: after the first briefing on 19/01/2012, we asked to update the profile in RPS website and and announced the use of the blog to replace the logbook system previously used. Then I take back my logbook last semester from sir MANG.

 second week: we met our advisor,madam Fatin Liyana to discuss about the project and my progress and we also attend to the second briefing on the next thursday. Deputy dean give us advice and spirit to do well and great for our fyp project.


 third week: nothing much to do..we met our advisor and ask her opinion about the circuit. we plan to retouch a little bit on the circuit. maybe the IC. But still in the discussion with my partner.
