Penultimate Status Report

2008-03-01T02:07:00.000-08:00

We managed to put the gadget together in the PCB. The connections all check out, we already have a working power source, we even have a BOX and everything looks like it's ready to go. ONE PROBLEM: It wouldn't work. The IC merely refuses to cooperate. If the problem lies in the IC itself of in the program, we have yet to find out.

Deadline of the gadget is on Monday, BEFORE LUNCH. I hope we can finish the project by then.

Wooo... We are now going to program our project (YEY!!!). The parts are now placed in a PCB woo... There are some minor changes in the circuit diagram. Still we are expecting the project to be finished on Feb 22. Though we are a bit out of schedule we will still finish the project with flying colors Dattebayo!!!!!

Construction of circuit and circuit diagram is well underway. If all goes well, the circuit will be ready for transfer into the PCB. The program is now undergoing minor modifications to suit the design of the circuit. Yes, we're almost there. :D

Holy Day(1 week before dead! DEAD!line)

2008-02-03T19:22:00.000-08:00

Today was a holy day as our troubles with reinventing our program was ended.. Sir Beduya has provided an 2 variants 8051 microcontroller although they are not of the specifications we required this is a big step for both our programming team and our Hardware team. Today the hardware team reinstall the 8051 IC to the Breadboard and the programmers will now rest from a long 2 weeks of learning.. Indeed this was a holyday for the programming team and a bit more work for the hardware team...

The readaptation of the circuit has gone along correctly with the circuit placed firmly on the breadboard. As further changes to the program occur we are unable to continue to testing of the circuit.

Pictures Recently added.. The readaptation of the circuit for the PIC has been covered by Ahmed Sendad and June Celo as Yoni Villamor has continued with the readaptation of the program to work for the PIC . Specifically Shown in the image from this post The circuit has been revised to be used for the PIC as our microcontroller and Jan and Yoni as of now are adapting the program slowly to adapt each function to the PIC's design.

January 23 REPORT

2008-01-22T19:20:00.000-08:00

We now have acquired the programmable integrated circuit(PIC). Our circuit is 100% complete. We have good news and bad news. Bad news is that as we were about to program the PIC, we encountered a very big problem. Our program is not compatible with the PIC. We are now struggling to convert the program so that our pic and the program would become compatible. Good news is wej learned a new technique in completing a Rubik's cube. WOOHOO!! ROCK THE WORLD XOXO :D

We continued checking the connections of the circuit.. Other members are surfing the net to make sure that the program that we will use is correct.. During the process, the circuit suddenly stopped working.. We are currently checking for errors.. We found out that the switches were connected loosely..

January 18, report

2008-01-20T19:00:00.000-08:00

We are almost done with the circuit.. It is not yet done because it still does not have the programmable integrated circuit.. So that we would not waste our time, we decided to check the connections within the circuit.. This was done so that we would not have setbacks..

2008-01-15T19:23:00.000-08:00

We continued to finish our circuit with delays with our microcontroller integrated circuit. As of today we are completing our bread board version of our circuit. We expect to finish our circuit by next week and continue on with moving the bread board circuit to the Plastic Copper Board. We hope to complete our device by February 8, 2008. XD ROCK THE WORLD XOXO!!!

Velocity and Acceleration Quantifier

2008-01-13T19:12:00.000-08:00

This report is made as a final statement for the Velocity and acceleration Quantifier.As of January 14 2008 the Velocity and Acceleration Quantifier has been completed (lacking some further tweaks in the system) It is now functional and is a working system and project of reasearch Team Liu Barte Bitoy Canlas.

Report -2 January 14 2008

2008-01-13T19:05:00.000-08:00

We Partially completed the circuit on the breadboard which included our switches and oscillator which are crucial parts for the completion and use of our project. We are as of know waiting for a functional
IC(microcontroller) whether it is a PIC or a 8051 IC. Today on January 14 2008 we are to complete the remainder of the circuit and begin designing the PCB(printed copper board) to be ready for the arrival for our IC.

Unfortunately some unforeseen circumstances and errors on the circuit design have caused some fall backs in our planned Schedule because of placing our circuit components we create a new post further updates on our unforeseen errors.

We took our project design from http://www.8051projects.info/.. We started copying the circuit today.. We hope to finish the circuit in the bread board by next week.. By then we will be moving the circuit from the bread board to the pcb(plastic copper board).. BYE BYE!
