Group 31Q Billy Smith Jacob Black George McDonald Keith Brown Supervised By Dr. Geoff Lockwood Project Manager Bob November 2, 2002
Presentation Overview • What We Learned • Our Goal • Preliminary Design • Components • Progress Report
What We Learned Tutorial #1: - construction of circuits - methods for measurement of voltage, current, and resistance Tutorial #2: - operational amplifiers Tutorial #3: - analog-to-digital converters - seven-segment displays
Our Goals • Learn to build and analyze simple electronic circuits. • Produce an inexpensive weather station suitable for home use, with the capability to measure readings in the ranges of: • -40oC to +40oC • 0% to 100% humidity (±2%)
Preliminary Design • Our circuit will contain the following: • LM555 Timer/Square Wave Clock • AD7819 Analog-to-Digital Converter • Temperature Transducer Circuit • Humidity Transducer Circuit
Components of Circuit • 1. LM555 Timer/Square Wave Clock • 2. AD7819 Analog to Digital Converter • 3. Temperature Transducer Circuit • 4. Humidity Transducer Circuit
Component #1 • (LM555 Timer/Square Wave Clock) • used to generate a square-root wave • sends an analog clock signal to the AD converter • square-root wave produces intervals of reading/sampling of the analog input signal Pictures courtesy of National Semiconductor
Component #2 (Analog-to-Digital Converter) An AD789 linked with the DM9368 common-cathode display driver and a seven segment display • Convert analog signals from the transducers to binary codes • Convert binary code into a digital display Picture courtesy of National Semiconductor
Component #3 • (Temperature Transducer) • LM35 precision integrated-circuit temperature sensor • ±0.5oC accuracy guaranteed (at +25oC) • Rated for –55oC to +150oC range Picture courtesy of National Semiconductor
Minimum Supply Voltage Our given temperature range produces a fluctuation in signal of ±1V. An amplifier may be required to make this signal usable for our purposes. Picture courtesy of National Semiconductor
Component #4 • (Humidity Transducer) • HIH-3605-A transducer circuit allows us to read the relative humidity • Send an analog signal to the AD (Analog/Digital Circuit) converter Picture courtesy of National Semiconductor
Output Voltage • Transducer outputs within target range of AD Converter Picture courtesy of National Semiconductor
Final Progress Report • The clock and Analog/Digital Converter have been constructed and tested • Next we plan to implement the temperature and humidity transducers • Group cooperation is satisfactory and there are no team issues to report
