Start on learning the C programming to operate with Microcontroller

I borrowed a book from my friend. It is about the C programming and the operation of Microcontroller. 

Actually, I have studied C programming from two CS courses, which are

CS2331        Problem Solving & Programming

CS2333        Object-Oriented Programming for Media

These 2 courses teach me the idea of C and C++ programming. And the course 

CS2114        Computer Organization for Media

, which introduces the logic and operation between hardware and software.

Hence, it is easier for me to read and understand the book. 

However, I have just learned the software part in school. 

I have never tried to operate with the hardware yet. So, it is very exciting!

Simple Circuit Diagram

I have designed a Simple Circuit Diagram. I am going to ask for the comments from my EE friend.

After I have asked my EE friend, he asked my circuit needs to add a Relay. It is an electrically operate switch. It is needed to connect with the mist machine. After the circuit recieved the signal from the distance sensor, the signal will be passed to the mircocontroller. If the signal is positive, the Relay would switch on. If not, the Relay would swtich off. It is more safe and stable for my circuit.

Circuit Equipments

In this whole week, I have being learned on circuit making on the website. This is so helpful for me! Those tutorials are useful and details.

I found that what main Circuit Equipments I need to build my own circuit. I think I need:

Distance Sensor: check sth pass through from a such distance

Variable Resistor: control the level of power of the circuit by produce resistance

Mircocontollor: control the circuit by programming input

Op-amp: control the voltage of the circuit

 

Learning on Distance Sensor

I am still starting to learn on the website that mentioned before. And also, I found a PDF document to learn about the distance sensor. As my installation is needed to detect someone pass-by, I think the distance sensor is suitable to connect with circuit as well. The PFD introduces all the features, block diagrams, measuring characteristics, operating conditions and many details information.

Start to learn circuit-making

This is a website for me to learn circuit-making. It is useful and easy for begininner like me : ) As I am a beginner on circuit-making. I have asked an EE friend to learn about making circuit. This website is recommended by him. Thanks him here : D

Project Proposal Presntation

Having Project Proposal Presntation today : )

1:30-2pm @ inno centre

doing Research Report & preparing PPT for Presentation

I have finished the Project Proposal. All require materials are attached. I am now doing the Equipments Research Report. I would add the devices that I have researched and showed on those previous posts to the report. It should be reasonable.

Besides, as my Project Proposal Presentation is on this coming thursday, I would like to make a PPT for me to present as well. It should be direct and clear.

Progress of Proposal

I have finished writing the Proposal today. And, I am going to draw some drafts for my project and attach to the Proposal : )

A surprising news: Those mist machines that I have bought from the taobao online shopping website are just arrived to my home! Sound NICE *3*

Starting on Project Proposal

When I am waiting the equiments which are senting from China, I am starting to do my FYP-proposal for the presentation next week.

I am planing to do the writing first. And then I will draw some drafts to explain my project to my advisors.

There is a week for me to finish it. I would pay heart and effort on it ! .\_/.'''
