Final Year Project 2(Hardware) Week3

Title: Design PCB layout to perform circuit connection

Objectives:

• To get familiar with the software to design a PCB layout 

Procedure:

• Install the software to design a PCB layout

Software to Design Circuit

Software to design PCB

• Copy the circuit from the Proteus simulation that are designed before this and draw again at Livewire software.

Result and Analysis:

• The LiveWire software and PCB Wizard are working together, the LiveWire software are especially to design a circuit connection. While the PCB Wizard are imported the file from LiveWire software to perform the PCB layout designed. (Important step:Remember it must working together)
• Draw back the circuit that has been design and simulate by using Proteus simulation. This step are needed to do it carefully because any error connection will be effected at the PCB layout designed.

Draw circuit at LiveWire software

• Convert the design circuit to the PCB layout that will be performed by the PCB wizard software

• The picture above only display the PCB design for PIC16f877a circuit only, the full design PCB for the circuit are shown below. Actually I have separated my circuit to 3 part: 

1. PIC16F877A circuit
2. MAX 232 circuit
3. Alarm circuit

• The all circuit that I have converted to PCB design are shown as below

Full design PCB circuit

Conclusion:

• This session are succesfully done because I have learned how to design a PCB circuit design by using the selected software LiveWire and PCB Wizard. The PCB design need to be designed properly and double checked the connection to make sure that is doesn't have the short circuit situation.
