Week 11 (Final Semester)

Title: Hardware

Objective:

• To customizing hardware to the project specification
• To interface between circuit and hardware
• To learn all the skill in making a good hardware for the project

Content:

This week is focusing on customizing the hardware base on the project specification. The hardware also appropriate with the circuit because the circuit need to fit in the hardware. For this project, the main hardware is the remote control car. From the remote control car, the function of prototype is:

• white led = car light
• motor = car engine

And for the car lock mechanism, the actual car lock is used just like the figure at the bottom. The door lock as attach to the remote control car.

Receiver circuit + hardware

For the receiver circuit, the circuit itself is put in the car. All the component and the origin circuit is be taken out, so the inner of the remote control car is emptied. After that the receiver circuit is attach to the inner of the remote control car just like the bottom figure

Transmitter Circuit + Hardware

For the transmitter circuit, the circuit is put inside the casing. The casing itself must be small to make sure the driver easy to carry it around. The casing need to drilled a hole for the LED and the switch for the project specification.

Analysis:

When putting the circuit in the hardware, it is necessary to keep the bottom of the circuit safe from scratch, because it may unconnected the path of component of the of the PCB circuit. The battery also must be covered, must avoid direct contact between the circuit and the component because it may causing dysfunctional item.

Conclusion:

The hardware need to be choose wisely for comfortable work and demonstration. For the hardware for the circuit, it must be not too small because it may broke the circuit, also not too large because it can be hard to carry. Now the hardware is complete, testing of the project will begin in next week
