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
