To achieve a better outcomes for this miniproject, we should get to know more about the project's hardware / component. Therefore, we had done some research about the component that used in this miniproject.
List of component:
- LCD DISPLAY:
A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display,
electronic visual display, or video display that uses the light modulating
properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly.
LCDs are available to display arbitrary images (as in a
general-purpose computer display) or fixed images with low information content
which can be displayed or hidden, such as preset words, digits, and 7-segment
displays as in a digital clock. They use the same basic technology, except that
arbitrary images are made up of a large number of small pixels, while other
displays have larger elements.
LCDs are used in a wide range of applications including
computer monitors, televisions, instrument panels, aircraft cockpit displays,
and signage. They are common in consumer devices such as DVD players, gaming
devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones, and have replaced
cathode ray tube (CRT) displays in nearly all applications. They are available
in a wider range of screen sizes than CRT and plasma displays, and since they
do not use phosphors, they do not suffer image burn-in. LCDs are, however, susceptible
to image persistence.
- TOOLSTICK850-B-SK;
The ToolStick development platform consists of two
components: the ToolStick Base Adapter and a daughter card.The ToolStick Base
Adapter provides a USB debug interface and data communications path between a
Windows PC and a target microcontroller.The target microcontroller and
application circuitry are located on the daughter card. Some daughter cards,
such as the C8051F850 Daughter Card, are used as general-purpose development
platforms for the target microcontrollers and some are used to demonstrate a
specific feature or application.
- STRIP BOARD :
Stripboard is the generic name for a widely used type of
electronics prototyping board characterized by a 0.1 inch (2.54 mm) regular
(rectangular) grid of holes, with wide parallel strips of copper cladding
running in one direction all the way across one side of the board. It is
commonly also known by the name of the original product Veroboard, which is a
trademark, in the UK, of British company Vero Technologies Ltd and Canadian
company Pixel Print Ltd. In using the board, breaks are made in the tracks,
usually around holes, to divide the strips into multiple electrical nodes. With
care, it is possible to break between holes to allow for components that have
two pin rows only one position apart such as twin row headers for IDCs.
Stripboard is not designed for surface-mount components,
though it is possible to mount many such components on the track side,
particularly if tracks are cut/shaped with a knife or small cutting disc in a
rotary tool.
- RESISTOR
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component
that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. Resistors act to
reduce current flow, and, at the same time, act to lower voltage levels within
circuits. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to limit current flow, to
adjust signal levels, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines
among other uses. High-power resistors, that can dissipate many watts of
electrical power as heat, may be used as part of motor controls, in power
distribution systems, or as test loads for generators. Fixed resistors have
resistances that only change slightly with temperature, time or operating
voltage. Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements (such as a
volume control or a lamp dimmer), or as sensing devices for heat, light,
humidity, force, or chemical activity.
Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and
electronic circuits and are ubiquitous in electronic equipment. Practical
resistors as discrete components can be composed of various compounds and
forms. Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits.
