Final Year Project2 (Hardware) Week8

Title: Create the real PCB to make a virtual circuit

Objectives:

  • Recheck all the PCB layout 
  • To create the virtual circuit for Microcontroller circuit and relay circuit
Procedure:

  • List all the component that are involved in this session. The component were:
PCB(fibre),masking tape,transparent paper PCB

PCB pen

acid etching
  • The PCB (fibre) needed to be printed by using the transparent paper as shown in figure below:
          This step are using the iron to heat up the transparent paper that have printed with the circuit                          MicroController diagram. 

After iron the transparent paper
  • The circuit diagram that are appear at the PCB fiber are not cleared enough, so it must be touch up by using the PCB pen as shown as figure below:
Cleared PCB printed
  • After that, the PCB must be included the etching processes. The purpose of this processed are to remove the unwanted copper to create a circuit diagram. This step are using the etching acid and hot water. Just shown as Figure below:
Step1: put the etching powder into the plastic bowl

Step2: Put boiled water to the etching powder

Step3: Put the PCB into the bowl

Step4: Etching process end

  • The PCB are settled with etching processed. Next, needs to clean up the black ink color at the top of the copper circuit line:

After cleaning
  • Drilling process are required to put the component into the PCB:

Drilling process
Put component to PCB


Result and Analysis:
  • The PCB for MicroController are designed well. All component such as PIC16F887,Crystal 20Mhz,connector,resistor,voltage regulator 7805,capacitor 22pF and resistor 1K & 47K.
  • The component needs to be solder so that the component will conduct electricity very well.


Conclusion:
  • The PCB for Microcontroller circuit are designed well. Next, it will be tested after all the component are ready enough to put into the PCB. 
  • LCD 16x2 needs to be solder properly to connected into this board.
  • Next, etching the relay circuit and tested both circuit.
