Week 11: Test Programming Onto Circuitry

Week No: 11
Date: 5/4/2012


Title of Activity: Test programming onto circuitry


Objective: 


1) To test the program that we have write whether it's working properly or not
2) To see if the all the circuit can interact with each other after we burn the program into IC


Content / Procedure:


1) Burn the programming that we have write into the programmable integrated circuit (PIC).


2) Insert the IC into the slot.


3) Insert the sim card that the number we have write in the program.


4) On the power supply to the main circuit and to the GSM modem.


5) Wait for 5 minute so that the system can be ready.


6) Test the project:
- send short massage service (SMS) to the number that we have assign 
- wait for report of the SMS being reply
- wait a coupe of minute for the project to respond.
- send SMS asking for the status of the load to see if the program can execute the two way communication


Result and analysis:


1) The motion sensor circuit work properly and can detect any movement within 5 meters range.


2) The current sensing circuit work properly in reading the current at the load and convert it into DC voltage.


3) The GSM modem work properly because it can receive the SMS that we send but fail to reply the message to us when we try to do the two way communication.


4) The load driving circuit did not work as we intend it to be because it not switching the load on and off.


5) The main circuit cannot be seen whether it's working or not.


Conclusion:


1) The working part of the project is like what we expected.


2) The load driving circuit is not working as we intend it to be maybe because of the main circuit did not work properly also.


3) The reason for the GSM modem did not reply the SMS when we ask for the status of the load is also because of the error at the main circuit.


4) Is is most likely that the program that we write is the cause of the problem.
