MODULE 1: MICROCONTROLLER (MIC) A microcontroller (MCU) is a small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core,
memory, and programmable I/O peripherals. MCUs are designed for embedded applications, such as
automobile engine control systems, remote controls, biomedical appliances, power tools and other
embedded systems.
In this module we learnt how to connect a breadboard with a microprocessor and with some LEDs, lights
array and a keypad.
Upon completion we learnt how to make a fully functional Microprocessor Circuit Unit. The connections
were done manually and all the components were provided. Figure 1 below shows the physical end
product (i.e. the MCU):
Figure 1
After completing the connections on the breadboard and settling the microprocessor as the centre of the
circuit, we had to write program codes on the computer using the C language. By using these codes, we
had to run the LED lights accordingly.

The MCU was also connected to the computer by a cable. Once the program was written in C language, it
was to be downloaded onto the MCU and the result of the program could be seen by the behaviour of the
LED lights.
Basically, we learnt how to write, download and debug programs onto the MCU and see how the
Microprocessor dealt with the commands given.
The general structure of the C language is stated below:
/* Programmer: Sharif Mohammed Nawaj
Group HKUEEE */
#include <io.h>
void loopDelay(unsigned int n)
{
while (n>0)
{
n--;
}
}
int i=0xFF;
void main (void)
{
}
END PROGRAM
In the program above, the main instructions and commands of the program were written after the
function “void main (void)” and in between the brackets. Those are the codes which vary the outcomes
of each of the program made.
During the course of 5 days, the programs which were written and successfully downloaded onto the MCU
are given below.
Ex 1-1: Flash
Description: When the program was downloaded, the LEDs all started flashing.
Code:
#include <io.h>
![Page 4: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

void loopDelay(unsigned int n) { while (n>0) n--; } int i=0xFF; void main(void) { DDRA = 0xFF; DDRE = 0xFF; PORTA = 0xFF; while (1) { if (i==0x55) i=0xAA; else i=0x55; PORTA = ~PORTA; loopDelay(10000); } }
Ex 1-2: Counter
Description: In this program, the lights turn on as a counter and stay on until all LED‟s are lit. This count
is in binary form and the lights represent numbers in binary form.
Code:
#include <io.h> void loopDelay(unsigned int n) { while (n>0) n--; } int i=0xFF; void main(void) { DDRA = 0xFF; DDRE = 0xFF; PORTA = 0x01; while (1) { PORTA = PORTA+1; loopDelay(100000); } }
![Page 5: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Ex 1-3: Walk
Description: When the program gets downloaded, the LEDs light up one by one and in one direction. The
previous LED goes off when the next one lights up.
Code:
#include <io.h> void loopDelay(unsigned int n) { while (n>0) n--; } void main(void) { DDRA = 0xFF; DDRE = 0xFF; PORTA = 0x01; while (1) { PORTA = PORTA<<1; if (PORTA == 0x00) PORTA = 0x01; loopDelay(100000); } }
Ex 1-4: Scan
Description: In this program, when downloaded onto MCU, the LEDs turn on one by one, like “1-3
Walking”. But the only difference is that the lights walk back in reverse order when they reach the last
LED on each side. This way, the lights keep on running from side to side.
Code:
#include <io.h> void loopDelay(unsigned int n) { while (n>0) n--; } void main(void) { DDRA = 0xFF; DDRE = 0xFF; PORTA = 0x01; while (1) { while(PORTA != 0x80)
![Page 6: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

{ PORTA = PORTA<<1; loopDelay(100000); } while(PORTA != 0x01) { PORTA = PORTA>>1; loopDelay(100000); } } }
Ex 1-5: Level
Description: In this program, when downloaded, the LEDs begin to turn on and stay on cumulatively until
all the LEDs are turned ON.
Code:
#include <io.h> void loopDelay(unsigned int n) { while (n>0) n--; } int i,j; void main(void) { DDRA = 0xFF; DDRE = 0xFF; PORTA = 0x01; while (1) { PORTA = (1<<i) - 1; i= ++i % 9; loopDelay(100000); } }
Ex 1-6: Pattern
Description: When downloaded, this program makes the LED‟s turn on in a specific manner. That specific
manner is already stated in the array given below in the program. So, basically, the array has all the
information to make the lights turn on accordingly.
Code:

MODULE 2: CAD/CAE TOOLS PRACTICE (CAD) Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer-systems to assist in the creation, modification,
analysis, or optimization of a design. It is used in many fields. Its use in electronic design is known as
Electronic Design Automation.
While preparing PCB, we expose a specially coated copper plate to ultraviolet light. On the plate, a
transparency is placed. The transparency has the circuit printed on it and when the copper plate is
exposed to the UV light, every part of the plate except those covered by the circuit are removed of their
UV light-sensitive coating. After etching, the circuit is formed by the copper on the board.
So the transparency play the key role in circuit formation because it has the circuit printed on it. The circuit
drawing is made on computer. In this module we learnt to make such drawings.
Softwares used were: PowerLogic and PowerPCB.
PowerPCB, as the name suggests, deals with making of a PCB circuit. We used this software to make the
shape of each component (as it would occupy on the board), to draw the pinholes through which these
components will be soldered to the board and also to draw the circuit wires as they would be printed on
the board.
PowerLogic, on the other hand, deals with the schematics of our circuit. We use this software to draw the
physical shape of our components and then use these drawings when we are drawing the schematics of
our circuit.
The first thing we did was to make the component decals in Power PCB. This simply meant drawing the
shape each component would occupy on the board (with the proper measurements) and then drawing
circles to represent their pin holes. The first pin hole was always drawn as square so that the orientation
of the component may be determined easily. A library was created and all the decals were added to that
library.
Once decals were made for all the components, the next step was to make the symbols for these
components for use in our schematics. For this purpose PowerLogic was used. We made the component
symbols and then we linked them up with the component decals from our library so that each pin of the
component symbol may correspond to a specific pin of the decal. This was done for all the components.
Once the symbols for all the components were made, we moved on to drawing the circuit schematics.
This was also done in “PowerLogic”. First we specified our board size and then by inserting the different
components we drew our circuit. Each component was labeled.
After this we opened PowerPCB and started making the circuit as it would appear on the board. All the
components with their labels were present there along with the board. Because of the components we
made in PowerLogic, the software PowerPCB showed us which component would connect with which
component. Using this as the guideline we placed all the components on the board first and then manually
drew the wire connections between them. Much care was required when making the wire connections.
We had to ensure that there was enough gap between the wires and the components so as to ensure a
safe circuit. Not only this, but we also had to make our circuit as neat as possible.

Once this was done, our PCB circuit was complete and we only had to publish our circuits in the form of
Pdf files.
Three projects were given in this module but we were only required to complete 2 of them due to limited
time.
The first was the 12 hour charger. Figure 2 shows the basic schematic circuit of the 12 hour charger:

MODULE 3: MCB INSTALLATION (MCB) A miniature circuit breaker (MCB) is an automatically-operated electrical switch designed to protect an
electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault
condition and interrupt current flow. When a fault causes the circuit to break, the circuit breaker can be
reset (manually or automatically) to resume regular operation.
The colour code of wires used is:
3-phases of 3-phase circuit: Brown, Black, Grey
Neutral: Blue
Earth: Green-Yellow
In this module we practised installing of MCB on the boards that resembled a typical arrangement in a
building. In addition, we learnt some basic AutoCAD drawing skills including basic shapes and room
designing. Two such examples are given in figure 11:
Figure 11
![Page 27: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
26
Later on we worked on the installation of MCB on the board. We learnt the concepts of ring circuit, radial
circuit and two-way switching. A summary of both concepts are illustrated in the following:
Ring Circuit: The ring circuit configuration is
shown in figure 12. In the ring circuit, the
appliances connected are individually protected
by a fused plug. The design enables the use of
smaller diameter wire than would be used in a
radial circuit of equivalent total current. The ring
starts at the consumer unit visits each socket in
turn, and then returns to the consumer unit. The
ring is fed from the circuit breaker in the
consumer unit. They are wired with 2.5mm2 cable
and protected by a 30A circuit breaker.
Figure 12
Radial Circuit: A radial circuit is a mains power circuit found in some homes to feed sockets and lighting
points. It is simply a length of appropriately rated cable feeding one power point, then going on to the
next. The circuit terminates with the last point on it and does not return to the consumer unit or fuse box
as does the ring circuit. There are two types of radial circuit used for sockets, Type A2 which uses 4mm²
CSA Twin & Earth fused at 30A or 32A covering a floor area of 75m², and Type A3 which uses 2.5mm² CSA
Twin & Earth fused at 20A covering a floor area of 50m². As with Ring circuits, there is no limit as to the
amount of sockets that can be fitted to a Radial circuit. Figure 13 illustrates a radial circuit system:
Figure 13
![Page 28: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
27
2-way switch: It is an interconnection of two electrical switches to control an electrical load (such as bulb)
from more than one location. For example, it allows lighting in hallway to be controlled from different
rooms. Figure 14 illustrates a 2-way switch system:
Figure 14
We then setup the following circuit configuration using the above concepts on the board where the
bottom right shows a ring configuration and bottom left shows a radial configuration for example. Figure
15 shows the whole configuration on the board:
Figure 15
![Page 29: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
28
After that we completed installing the MCB. We worked on to complete the wiring of Distribution Board.
Each phase was controlled by a circuit breaker. We made a total of six outlets for consumer units. We also
installed a two-way switch for operating a light bulb. There was one main circuit breaker fed with 3 live
wires of 3 different phases from the mains supply. Then it was split into six different sets of 3-phase
consumer units each controlled by a circuit breaker. Labelling was done with stickers for easier
identification of cables. Each set for a 3-phase consumer unit had a total of five wires including 3-phases,
one neutral and one protective earth wire. The complete wiring is shown in the images below:

MODULE 4: VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTATION (VI) Virtual instrumentation (VI) is the use of customizable software and modular measurement hardware to
create user-defined measurement systems, called virtual instruments.
Software Package Used: NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS LABVIEW
LabVIEW was used to make and design Virtual Instrumentation programs. By making these programs, we
simulated physical systems on the computer software by means of an interface for the user to deal with.
The addition of the interface was solely to make the instrumentation easier for the user to make it more
user-friendly and more realistic system than just a program.
We created several programs with different tasks of their own using this software. These programs were
created on a course of five days’ time and were created to help us get a better insight into virtual
instrumentation and its specific uses.
The LabVIEW has two parts:
1. Front Panel:
This is a front panel designed by us
correctly placing the signs and components
for user’s better understanding.
2. Block Diagram:
This is a typical Example
of a Block Diagram. In
the Block Diagram, the
real circuitry is done
that the end user
doesn’t really see. Each
component is linked
with the ‘easier to
understand’ front panel
and the connections are
completed as functions
so that the intended
purpose of the VI is
completed.
![Page 33: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
32
All the major tasks and projects done during the 5 days’ period are outlined as follows:
Day 1:
Convert C to F.vi
Objective: To create a VI and the icon and connector pane needed to use as a subVI.
In this exercise, our main aim was to have a temperature convertor from Celsius to Fahrenheit notation.
We completed this feat by making the following circuit as seen below. Also, the external representation
is seen below as well. This representation is the input screen seen by the user.
Thermometer.vi
Objective: This VI measures temperature using the temperature sensor on the DAQ Signal Accessory.
![Page 34: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
33
Project 1.vi
Objective: This was the final project of the day. In this project our aim was to have a program made which
connected to an external circuit that had a thermistor. The change in temperature tells us the change in
voltage. It will tell us either in AC or in DC. Also it tells us this in voltage or millivolts on our choice.
![Page 35: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

35
Objective: In this VI program, we had to use the Thermometer subroutine to generate a random signal.
Then we put limits on both ends. These were set by the user. If the signal exceeded these limits, the
warning sign would turn ON.
5.5 Cluster Excercise.vi
![Page 37: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

46
Objective: In this VI program, we attached a card reader to the computer and swiped cards to see the
result. It is a password protected card reader like ones found in room/building access. If the pre-recorded
number matched and was positive, the lock opened. The data was recorded too. This program also gives
the date and time of the card swipe.
Day 5:
Project 5 22.vi
![Page 48: Engineering-Training-Report-Nawaj Sharif](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022082203/58a34e331a28ab62248b6d31/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
47
Objective: In this final project, we displayed the temperature of an external microcontroller board. We
set high and low limits as well and logged all the information too. We can also see if the fan is above or
below the set limits.
