FINAL YEAR PROJECT 2 (WEEK 10): Hardware Construction

Objectives:
1) To construct hardware circuit.
2) To make sure that have a connection on the strip board.

Methods:

1) By doing research in the internet

2) Using strip board to construct the circuit

The hardware part had been constructed after bought the components. For hardware development, the construction of the circuit was not successfully developed because the circuit constructed had some problems occurred and need to troubleshoot. The problems that had occurred during this project were the arrangement of the components where the IC pins used and the current flow on the strip board need to connect in the correct position.  Apart from that, the soldering part problems had occurred. The board was not properly soldered and when soldered again the components on the strip board, the circuit connection on the board may had burned. Besides that, the soldering at the components pins too bulky and that was why the problem had occurred on the circuit construction. If all the components were fully constructed with no error, the programming will be burned in the AT89S52 microcontroller. If the programming burned in the AT89S52 microcontroller that had been constructed on the strip board and the LCD displayed a character on it, it was showed that the programming was running successfully on the hardware construction circuit.

Conclusion:
This week I am going to learn to solve the problems that had occurred during construct the hardware circuit. Besides that, the programming that burned into the microcontroller also can be a problem and this make me learn how to solve the problems.
