Engineer's Day UniKL BMI

It is time for engineer's day where top 20 projects, inter-section challenge, robotic challenge are compete with each other. Here we would like to grateful to all who help us direct or indirectly in making this project  successfully done. special thanks to our supervisor Mdm. Nulida Bt. Abd Aziz which help and give full support on us and the project. Finally with all the effort, our project are nominees on 2nd place for innovation challenge. Not to forget our decorator adviser, Nurfaezah Talib who help us on the giving the idea on how to decorate our project which indirectly become the reason why our project wins.  

WEEK 14

On week 14, the time for the FYP project being demo to the each of the assessor assigned. It be held at Gemilang Hall where all the FYP project will gather and demoing on this day.

Demo video for the Adaptive Street Lighting System.

Demo day at Gemilang Hall

WEEK 13

Design a poster by using Microsoft Power Point. In the designed poster, we have attached some important information as stated in the guideline for the poster format in the RPS. The information include, Objective, methodology, application, results, block diagram, description, and reference.

Poster : Adaptive Street Lighting System

WEEK 12

We have encountered a major problem, where our PCB does not working. This is maybe because of our PCB layout design got some error that we cannot trace. We have designed another PCB for the 2nd time but then        still encountered the same problem. After a long unsolved troubleshooting period, we decided to use our test board for the main controller circuit that control the system which is a working circuit when we tested before.

Test Board for the project

WEEK 11

This is one of a difficult part to do in this project because there are many tools and component need to use and also we need to make the wiring for every each of the lamp we have. All of the wiring for the light pole is combine it by using a connector.

The wiring for the each light pole that being set on the model

It is how the model looks a like

WEEK 10

Finding all the part of Adaptive Street Lighting System model for the FYP presentation and competition. These are the main parts of this Adaptive Street Lighting System.

Plywood

This plywood is used as a base for this model to make it more reliable and not easy to bend and damage the model.

Polystyrene

Polystyrene is attach before the Black Mounting board is attach. It is used for making wiring path.

Black Mounting Board

Black Mounting board is act like a street in this model.

White Tape

So this White Tape will be the road lines for this model.

Adjustable wall lamp

This type of wall lamp will be the light pole for the project.

WEEK 9

After develop the PCB board, the component's holes being drilled and the component being assemble on the board.

The process are shown as below;

Drill the component's holes

Controller board

LDR board

Component finish assemble on PCB board

WEEK 8

Make a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for a change to our project bread board. It will be more simpler, more orderly, and smaller size. Here is the process of making a PCB by using BMI PCB workshop.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate.

UV Exposure Box

UV Exposure Box

UV light is exposed to the presensitized copper clad boards. The transparency blocks traces that you want to leave on the board. When the board is immersed in the developer solution, the green enamel is dissolved away wherever light was exposed. Then, wherever there is no enamel and just copper.

PCB Salt

This PCB Salt is used to dissolved the copper at board.

PCB Etching Machine

This is the process where to clear all the cooper on top of the board and only left a cooper that we printed before.

WEEK 7

Using PROTEUS ARES software to design PCB layout for 3 different circuit which are controller circuit, ldr circuit, and power supply circuit.
The design are shown as follows:~

Controller Circuit

LDR Sensor Circuit

Power Supply Circuit

WEEK 6

LDR and Controller circuit being construct on BreadBoard

The circuit being constructed on breadboard for testing and troubleshooting methods.
The LDR circuit function as we expected.
The controller circuit did not work after the construction being made. We continue to troubleshooting the circuit by referring to the connection between the components. After several days, we found that the value of the ceramic capacitor did not work for the design. We change the capacitor with another value of it which is before this we used 1nF and we change it to 33pF. The circuit functioning as we needed.

WEEK 5

Went to Jalan Pasar to buy the components for the 3 main circuit which is controller, light sensor, power supply circuits.

The main components is shown as below:~

AC Capacitor

PIC 16F877A 

LDR sensor 

Micro Sensor Switch

WEEK 4

Programming for the system to function as we expected.
The programming shown as follow:

#include <16F877A.H>
#fuses NOWDT,HS, NOPUT,NOPROTECT
#use delay (clock=20000000)

#define PUSH_BUTTON PIN_D0
#define PUSH_BUTTON1 PIN_D1
