Output Devices


Assignment Requirements:

  • Group Assignment:
  • Individual Assignment:
  • Learning Outcomes:

  • Demonstrate workflows used in controlling an output device(s) with MCU board you have designed.

  • Steps in General:


    Introduction

    In this week I decided to design a board to control 2 servo motors, I did the Shematic and Layout in KiCAD and milled the PCB on the MonoFab SRM-20 Milling machine, soldered the components, programmed it and connected the Servo motors and finally powered the board with 12 VDC.

    Steps in Details:

    Step(1): Designing the circuit on KiCAD


    Step(2): Preparing the png files on Gerbv and GIMP


    Step(3): PCB Fabrication, Assembly and Soldering


    Step(4): Circuit Programming and Testing


    Group Assignment

  • In this assignment we are going to measure the power of an output device which is a 6v DC motor using the regulated power supply readings and also using the multimeter.
  • It assumed 0.08 Ampere at the 6 Volt DC.
  • We know that Power = Volt * Ampere [P = V * I], so the consumed power will be 6 * 0.08 = 0.48 watt
  • The documentation for this work is in the group assignment.
