Week 4

Activity: Components Soldering

Objective(s): To solder the components on the PCB board

Contents:
This week, we focused on the soldering process of the components to the PCB board. Since we bought the DIY set project from Cytron Technologies, it has provided us the printed circuit on the PCB board. Yet we have to carefully check for the polarity of the electronic components before starting to solder. Failure in doing so might lead to explosion of components when a power supply is connected.

The soldering process

We also need to follow the manual's guide on how to solder the iron pin which is required for the 2510 cable for UART interface.

For the whole soldering process, we merely used about 2 to 3 meters of soldering iron. After finished soldering all the electronic components to the PCB circuit board, we connected all the cables accordingly based on the DIY manual.


Result/Analysis:
Eventually, we got ourselves a complete hardware of the project.

The completed soldering process of the electronic components

Connection of the 2510 cable for UART interface

Connection of the 2510 cables with the PCB board

The cable connected to UC00B converter

Conclusion:
Soldering is a very crucial process for the project hardware as it allows the current to flow in the circuit built. Hence, we can further proceed to the next procedure of the project which is to continue with the programming for the microcontroller.
