HOW TO USING PICKIT 2

1.  Write C program by using PIC C Compiler software to create file.hex
2.  Simulate by using ISIS Proteus software:

HOW TO PROGRAM THE PIC ?

We use the PCW Compiler to write & compile programs and CCS Load and the ICD-U40 programmer to write programs to the PIC. Always load a .hex file onto the PIC – the compiled machine language program. The hex file should be located in the same folder as our project file. We need to connect the ICD’s Ethernet cable pins to the appropriate pins on the PIC in order to load a program.  We also need to have the PIC running (i.e. under +5V power) when programming.

SIMULATION

For the simulation process we need to use ISIS that combined circuit simulation, animated components and microprocessor models to faciliate co-simulation of complete microcontroller based designs, By this software, it is possible to develop and test our designs before a physical prototype is constructed. We also searching some coding on the website such as CCS Forum to test our circuit function or not. At the CCS Forum, we got a lot of ways on how to built simple coding and also complex coding especially for RFID Door Lock. Some of these RFID coding using the keypad driver <kbd.c> to scanning the keypad and lcd driver <lcd.c>,<flex_lcd.c> to display the LCD. Below were all the coding that have been simulate by us:

ISIS CIRCUIT DESIGN

Today we need to design ISIS circuit for our project which was RFID Access Control. In designing this circuit we used pic16f877a, resistor 10k, 20 Mhz crystal oscillator, lcd display and keypad phone which was 4x3 (3 columns, 4 rows). LCD we connected them to the Port B and for the keypad we connected them to the Port D. In pic16f877a, the pins RB0-RB7, RC0-RC7, and RD0-RD7 are digital I/O pins.  The pins CCP1 and CCP2, which share locations with RC1 and RC2, can be used for a PWM.  The pins AN0-AN7 are for analog I/O. TX and RX are for debugging I/O.  The remaining pins deal with power/ground, the clock signal, and programmer I/O.

INSTALLING PIC C COMPILER & PROTEUS SOFTWARE

Today we need to install two most of important software in order to design the circuit using PIC. So, we got the installer of these software from our partners which were BENE students course because they already learned in their syllabus and also expert with these software. We started to learned how to install these software from them. After the installation complete, now we can start exploring these software.

SETUP RFID DOOR LOCK ACCESS CONTROL

Today our supervisor who was Mr Mazran Bin Esro choose three persons to do this project. So, Saiful Amirin, Faris and Hanif have been chosen to complete this project so before we get started first we need to see Engineer Siva Kumar Subramaniam to take all the equipments which were RFID Access Control, RFID Cards and EM Block from him. We used model G2000-C RFID Access Control including the user’s manual to guide us through setting process for this project. Based on the user’s manual given we must find it on how to setup RFID Access Control, explore and learned the process by ourselves. There were three ways to configure how the user making contact with the RFID Access Control System which were keyfob entry, password entry, and keyfob plus password entry but for our basic learning process Engineer Siva Kumar Subramaniam just told us to configure the setup for keyfob entry and password entry only.

TESTING PIC MICROCONTROLLER

After finished soldering all the components to the PIC board, now we were ready to testing our project whether the circuit might be function or otherwise. There were a few ways to do the inspection work for example by using multimeter, vibrate sensor, and LCD display.

6th Day - 12 July Thursday

SOLDERING PROCESS

This company more uses microcontroller and PLC for the project. So, we have to know about microcontroller and PLC. Engineer Siva also gives us a task to remember how to read value of components and we also must sort the components next week. We also must learn about how to read value from SMD component because the component that we always use and learn is type of through hole. Engineer Siva told us about project that maybe we will involved on our practical. After briefing by Engineer Siva, we need to accomplished task by note that Mr Mazran gave to us to complete soldering process on the PIC by using the new components that he already buy.

5th Day - 11 July Wednesday

PIC MICROCONTROLLER PROJECT

Mr Mazran give us a sample of microcontroller PIC and we need to design and soldering this new PIC by follow the sample that have already given to us. In this task, we learned on how to solder all these electronic components such as resistor,capacitor,transistor and the other. Actually there are a standard method that being used in order to solder all these component correctly. For this task, we need to refer IPC-A-610D module for the quality acceptability requirements for electronic assemblies in soldering process.

4th Day - 10 July Tuesday

STANDARD OF SOLDERING

Where appropriate, the type of soldering process used has been addressed specifically in the criteria description. In any case, the connection criteria apply regardless of which methods of soldering have been utilized, for example:

• Soldering irons.

• Resistance soldering apparatus.

• Induction wave, or drag soldering.

• Reflow soldering.  

• Intrusive soldering.

CREATE A BLOG

I am Faris who currently continued my studies at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) taking Bachelor of Electronic Engineering in Telecommunication. Recently a third year student who’s taking degree at UTeM. Today our supervisor which is Mr Mazran Bin Esro told us to create a blog as a journal to report all our daily life activities during these internship programme. Means that, all of us must create one blog and post all the activities, knowledge, input and output that we gain along this internship programme everyday.

COMPANY

We registered at Hitech Integrated Innovation Solution Sdn Bhd (HIIS) which is developed on January 2012 or also known as UTeM Holdings. So, this company is under UTeM management and being organised by three experiences person which are Prof Razi, Mr Mazran Bin Asro and Engineer Siva Kumar Subramaniam. Currently come out with water level controller project. Since today, the projects had been installed at Wisma Persekutuan MITC, Ayer Keroh.
