This week assignment is actually linked with last week's project which inputs and outputs are interlink together. Basically without either of it, a system will not be able to function.
I will be doing a H-bridge PCB for DC motor because my project need the DC motor to drive it. It will be quite similar to last week assignment only this time I will be making a output device.
With the examples given by Neil, I am able to create the schematic diagram and board layout for the H-bridge.
Below is a screen shot of Neil's examples of the H-Bridge board for motor.
Below is a screen shot of my schematic diagram created by me.
After I drew out the schematic drawing for the H-Bridge Board and use LPKF to cut out the board. The next thing is to solder the components to the board and make sure the components are solder properly. I did some checking on the traces and solder on the board. After confirming the connections, I did a direct solder on the pins to the wire and connecting the battery and motor together with the H-Bridge.
Below is a photo taken of the H-Bridge, wires solder to the pins to connect the battery to the motor.
I try to use Arduino to do a simple program to run the H-Bridge and the outcome came out to be fine. The motor seems to be working well.
Below is a photo taken of the testing of my cicuit and a screen shot of my program for the H-Bridge.

I did a last tryout before I will move on to my next assignment. I think it workout quite good. I will see what I can do to make it better.
Below is a photo taken of the setup of my output device assignment.
