ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We are highly obliged to take this opportunity to express our

sincere and deepest gratitude and indebtedness to all those who have

contributed their valuable time are assistance in the successful completion

of our project. Among the wide panorama of people we are grateful in

presenting to you the rare shades of technology by documenting or project

“Path Tracer”. To begin with it has to be our respected parents. They have

been with us all through our thicks and thins, given us all sort of support

whether it is financial support or a moral support. No doubt our basic

foundation is laid by our parents but it will be a big mistake if we ignore the

fact that although foundation sets the base but a building cannot stand

erect without pillars and our pillar is our respected teacher and fortunately

our group guide Mrs. AIshwarya

We also deeply acknowledge our H.O.D Mrs. Rashmi

Bhatia for their never ending encouragement, moral support & patience

during the preparation of our project. We are also very thankful to Mini

miss, Katkar sir & Madhuri miss giving solution for obstacles arising in

our project.

WHY PROJECT BECOMES

NECESSARY?

During the past decade the skill of project management have

become increasingly recognized as highly desirable for managers at all

levels in an organization, most people today can benefit from the

application of these skills to some part of their daily operation. The rapid

growth of global market and the introduction of total quality management,

continuous improvement programs and more recently the drive to redesign

business processes all require these skills to some degree. All are aimed

at improving organizational effectiveness and performance in a highly

competitive world marketplace. The world market place is continually

changing and every organization, irrespective of their service or product,

must accept that internal change is a normal process to meet the demands

of external changes.

The successful and effective implementation of change

employs specific skills that have been traditionally owned by a select

group of technical professionals. This is no longer true and the skills of

managing change are essential for everyone in an organization at all

levels. Change always requires a cultural shift for every one.

PLANNING
Success of any project depends on careful and proper

planning and efficient execution of such plan.

1. Project capacity:-

The first and the foremost step we saw were all factors

affecting the capacity of the project. We decided that the work has to be

done by all the members equally. We checked the feasibility which is most

important thing to be done before starting any project, as it is obvious that

any project is successful has to be practicable.

2. Distribution of work:-

All the partners were given equal work. It is task of each

individual member to study each operation.

3. Design and drawing:-

Once the project was decided by us, the circuit diagram was

drawn and checked by us as much details as possible. This made the

execution much easier and more goals oriented. After this, P.C.B. was to

be designed.

4. Material required:-

_________________________________________________________________
1
_ 0
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Once the drawing of all components was prepared, it was

easy to decide which of them are required for purchase. It depends on,

 Details specified of each.

 Quantity of each.

 Price of each.

 Market availability of each.

5. Operation Planning:-

The planning we did helped to find the best manufacturing

processes so as avoid all kind of wastages. For this purpose this method

study is necessary.

6. Time study:-

The exact time evaluation is essential for assuming the

completion of project. Hence we conclude that it is necessary to work out

the time required.

For different processes such as:

 Cost calculation

 Budgeting

 Procurement of capital

 Design of capital

_________________________________________________________________

_ 1
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer
 Soldering of all components stage by stage

 Packaging and beatification of final circuitry

@ Pessimistic time:-

This is the assumption that everything will go badly rather

than expected. Thus, it is maximum time taken for completion of project.

@ Optimistic time:-

In this, it is assume that everything will go well and minimum

time is only required for each activity to complete under ideal condition

better than normal is assumed.

@ Most likely time:-

This is value, which will probably the actual time. In this, it is

assume that thing will in normal with few set back. This estimate of time

lies between optimistic times.

7. Method study:-

We conducted to eliminate the wastage of all kind in material

labor and time. First the work was divided into suitable stages and then

each stage and their inter relationship are studied separately.

_________________________________________________________________

_ 2
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer
8. Equipment required:-

After examination of the study, it became possible to decide

the exact number of equipments and tools required. Drawing also helped

us in deciding the requirement and accessories.

9. Budgeting:-

It can be defined as recast of program operation. It is based

on definite period of time and can be prepared by studying statistical data.

This is following types of budgeting.

 Master budget

 Sales budget

 Production budget

 Financial budget

 Material budget

 Labor budget

Financial budget:-

It is summary of capital to be received and the amount to be

spending over a given period. Financial budget is most important type of

project because economy is deciding factor in success or failure of any

project.

10. Procurement of capital:-

_________________________________________________________________
1
_ 3
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer
Working capital is to be collected by the leader from the

partners. Total cost is equally divided in number of partners. For large

projects, a proper financer from industry is desirable.

INTRODUCTIO

_________________________________________________________________

Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Introduction:-

The word “ROBOT” originates from the Czech word for

forced labor, or self. It was introduced by playwright karel capek, whose

frictional robotics inventions were much like Dr. Frankenstein’s monster

creatures created by chemical and biological, rather than mechanical,

robots of popular culture are not much different from these frictional

biological creations.

Our Path Trace is an electro-mechanical device. It is as

wheeled platform, arm, or other construction, capable of interacting with its

environment.

Sensors are connected at bottom or around the device that is

able to sense the environment and give useful feedback to the device.

Cars in large factory halls find their way with aid of sensors

and track in or on the floor. The track may consist of black or dark line

printed on right floor or another reflective substance such tracks can be

detected with optical sensor. Other variants of track types include metal

strips, which can be followed with the help of metal detector or a slot in the

floor, which can be followed by probe or another mechanical device.

To avoid collagens with personal and object, most robot cars

have additional sensors for instance infrared detectors cameras or a kind

_________________________________________________________________

of radar based on ultrasonic waves, laser light or radio waves. To enable

them to be stopped in the (unlikely) event of collision or malfunction these

robot vehicles usually have a number of easily accessible switches.

Robotics is a design and manufacture of intelligent machines

that are programmed to perform specific tasks. Robots are generally

designed to be a helping hand. They help us in difficult, unsafe or boring

tasks. Simplify put robots are machines that can perform variety of jobs

and they can range from simple machines to highly complex computer

controlled intelligent system. The majority of robots today are used in

factories, labs and houses. In future they might show up in the schools,

homes or even in our bodies. The possibilities are end less.

Industrial automation gives robotics a considerable

momentum to explore newer avenues of applications. Robotics is being

used for industrial automation to extent that the terms robotics and

industrial automation have become synonyms in the industrial word. The

advance made in the field of mechatronics has virtually made sign of

robotics system much easier, the need is only to identify right product for

application.

BASIC

PRINCIPLE

_________________________________________________________________

_ 8
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Basic Principle:-

Path Tracer works on the following principle. It uses optical

sensor techniques for detecting black or dark color line. The presence and

absence of black line will detect by IR sensor and proportional output will

fetch by microcontroller. Thus microcontroller decides further action of

robot. This output is helpful to motor driver IC for driving the motor in

required direction.

At time any one sensor will detect the particular black line.

The respective LED, which is glowing, indicates that a particular sensor

had detected black line and there depending on black line, the output of

respective sensor will changes and then microcontroller will take the

decision that in one direction motor has to drive the car.

Path Tracer. It basically consists of four parts.

1. Sensors [LED, LDR, Comparator IC LM324]

2. Microcontroller [AT 89C2051]

3. Motor driver IC[L293D]

4. Motors [D.C. Motor]

Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Block Diagram Description: -

Sensors: -

The four sensors are the primary part of our project. Out of

these four sensors any one of the sensors will active and the activating of

sensor is depending on root of black line. When ever particular sensor

detects black line, it passes output to comparator.

Comparator: -

Sensor will detect black or dark path, and send signal to

comparator block. Depending on the signal send by sensors comparator

will give according output to microcontroller

Microcontroller: -

The microcontroller is already programmed; when ever input

arises it executes program and then respective output will pass to motor

driver IC.

Motor driver IC: -

Motor driver IC is used to provide sufficient voltage and

current to motor. It takes input from the microcontroller and drives the

motor in required direction.

_________________________________________________________________

_ 2
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Power supply: -

Power supply block is used to supply power to different

blocks of our circuit.

IR Receiver: -

Receiver will receive signal transmitted from IR Transmitter.

And the received signal will be send to microcontroller.

IR Transmitter: -

Work of IR transmitter is to transmit signal. The transmitted

signal will be send to IR Receiver.

Basic Sensor Part: -

The sensors are primary part of our project. It is used to

detect the black line. It is also called as black line sensor. Here we are

using LDR &LED as a black line sensor. LDR & LED pair consists of

transmitter & receiver. The transmitter is LED & receiver is LDR.

We have to arrange transmitter & receiver as shown. The

distance between the surface & the sensor i.e. height of the sensor from

the surface is 15mm. Here the TX is transmitter and Rx is receiver. The

distance between TX and Rx is 2.5mm.

_________________________________________________________________

_ 3
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

The combination of LED and LDR make one sensor. So this

type of four sensors is being used here.

As shown here, we have connected the sensors in four

universal directions i.e. right, left, front and rare. The sensors are

connected at the distance of 2cm from the middle point in all this four

direction. The position of each sensor is,

 Sensor 1 - Right
 Sensor 2 - Back

 Sensor 3 - Front

 Sensor 4 - Left

CIRCUIT

DIAGRAM

_________________________________________________________________

_ 5
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Circuit Diagram: -

_________________________________________________________________

_ 6
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Circuit Diagram Description: -

The circuit uses 4 sensors, 1 LM324 IC and 1 resistor of

value 270 ohms, 10 k ohms and 470 ohms. The whole circuit is working on

+5v supply. IC LM324 is comparator IC which consists of four

comparators. At the non inverting terminal of all comparator we had set

one voltage with the help of potentiometer. The inverting terminals of all

the comparators are connected to collector of respective phototransistor

i.e. receiver. The collector of all phototransistors connected to +5v supply

through 10kohms resistor and emitter is grounded. Also the anode of all IR

LED is connected to +5v supply through 270 ohms resistors and cathode

is grounded. The LED is connected at the o/p of each comparator to +5v

through 470 ohms for indicating that particular sensor is working.

Working of Circuit: -

The working of circuit can be understood by dividing it in

two parts.

1) When LED emits Green light on black line and if there is presence

of black line, it absorbs Green light and it remains off. The voltage

divided network create voltage drop across resistance and given to

inverting terminal of comparator so the o/p of respective comparator

goes low and the particular LED will glow.

_________________________________________________________________
2
_ 7
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

2) Now when there is absence of black line, the green light which is

transmitted by LED will receive by LDR. The low voltage at the

collector of phototransistor will pass to inverting terminal of

particular sensor will go high. So the respective LED will not glow.

So in short, at a time any one sensor will active and glowing

of LED indicates that the particular sensor has detects black line.

Main Circuit: -

As we seen that the primary part of our project is sensor

circuit and now we will see the secondary part of our circuit to which the

o/p of sensor is given.

Construction: -

The outputs of these four sensors are given to port 5 of

microcontroller. Port 5 of microcontroller is used as input port. Output of

microcontroller is given to motor driver IC L293D. Port1 is used as an

output port. Start switch is provided to restart the microcontroller by

resetting the microcontroller we can start the robot. The output from out 1

and out 2 pin of L293D is given to right motor and output from out 3 and

out 4 is given to left motor. Vcc to AT89C2051 and L293D is +5v and Vm

to L293D is +10v.

_________________________________________________________________
2
_ 8
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Working: -

When supply is ON sensor will detect black line and

respective output will pass to microcontroller. When start switch is

pressed. Microcontroller will read data of port 3. Microcontroller is already

programmed after reading the data of port 3; microcontroller will execute

the program and it will generate respective output which is then passed to

L293D. Depending on output of microcontroller AT89C2051, Motor driver

IC L293D will rotate the motor in respective direction and hence robot will

go in the direction of black line and follows it.

Power Supply: -

To provide power supply to circuit we are using three

Ni-Cadmium batteries. One cell provides 3.6v so such three cells provide

total 11V and 800mA current. The battery is connected to IC 7805 which is

regulator IC to achieve constant +5V supply. Thus we will get +11v & +5v

supply. This +5v is used to provide Vcc supply to all the IC'S & 12v of

supply of battery is applied to Vm pin of L293D which is reference for

motor.

Transmitter: -

Here transmitter used is a IR Tx, it is use to ON / OFF path

tracer. IC 555 is used as a transmitter in astable mode which generate

_________________________________________________________________

_ 9
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer
frequency of 38k Hz and o/p is taken from pin no. 3 which is given to IR

LED to transmit a signal.

Receiver: -

The transmitted signal is received by IC Tsop1738 it receive

IR signal end give o/p at pin no. 3. That o/p is given to pin no.2 of IC 555

which is working in mono stable mode. This will increase the time period of

received signal and o/p is taken from pin no. 3 of IC 555 end given to clock

input of IC 4027. Which have two JK Flip-Flop which work as a T-Flip Flop

and output of first flip-flop is given to pin number 18 of microcontroller and

output of another flip flop is given to 1 of microcontroller

P.C.B.: -

A printed circuit board can be defined as an insulating base

material to which permanently attached a flat metallic network of

conducting paths whose dimension depends upon the current that can be

handled by them. The P.C.B used for this project is single sided one.

The basic material used may be resin coated papers, fiber

glass, ceramic and the flat board configuration, however, is most widely

used and it may be of the nature of single "mother board" into which

smaller boards are plugged by the especially designed connectors which

ensures adequate and permanent low resistance coupling.

Board Design: -

P.C.B designing is the most important and requires great

care during work. In this case great are must be taken while tracing the

circuit or the layout on the board because once PCB is designed, it is

virtually impossible to alter it. While designing a circuit designer should

take care to avoid crossing of conducting paths (tracks) as possible.

Crossovers are unavoidable then only of the jumper can be used. Circuit

board carrying copper on both the sides can also help to solve this

problem when circuit is complicated.

The Master Diagram-

The next stage lies in proportion to designing i.e. to prepare

“master diagram” which is commonly made twice as the finished circuit,

since this makes the working on that much easier, especially when the

circuit is complicated photography eventually reduces the size of the

diagram to that circuit, before proceeding we must know some rules

regarding the designing.

 The space between the conductors must be strictly controlled to

avoid the possibility of electrical discharge or unwanted

capacitance. The amount by which the master diagram is to

reduce in size is thus a critical design feature.

 The conductor must be wider in those parts of circuits that are

going to handle large currents must be handled without undue

temperature of conductors.

_________________________________________________________________
4
_ 4
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

 The minimum width of copper should not generally be less than

about 1.5mm. This is related to mechanical strength rather

electrical properties and it also ensures that strips remains

securely bounded to the base material.

 The points where the component holes for component lead wire

occurs must be sited to suit the dimensions of the component and

dimensions between lead-out wires, so that, the components can

be situated correctly on finished board. The conductor is also

main large at the point of holes.

P.C.B Making: -

When the master probable twice the size of real PCB has

been involved, the text major step consists of etching or dissolving the

unwanted meal from copper cladded board to create the circuit as

depicted by master diagram. It must be stressed that very accurate

checking of master is essential at this stage. Then, the master point is

mounted on a special fame on easy facing of a larger camera and with the

aid of the very powerful illumination a master diagram is clearly

photographed on a glass sensitive plate. This is developed to give

photographic negative. Next so called “step and repeat camera” is brought

_________________________________________________________________
4
_ 5
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer
into operation. This comprises the camera body mounted so that side

ways after each exposure. In this way number of copies of the original

master diagram is setout exactly to cover standard sheet of copper clad

lamination laboratory method of making PCB.

In case of simple and need of number of less PCB, economic

and advisable to use the following lab method of PCB making.

 Planning The Circuit: -

Although this is not particularly difficult, there are several

important factors that need not be taken into account. If the finished device

is to work properly we must consider gain factor and ensure that the input

and output parts are sufficiently well isolated to avoid the possibility. We

must also that conductors and components carrying high frequency

current are well separated from these parts of the circuits. We are also to

make sure that all components need to return to earth are properly

connected and that possibility of common impedance arising in earth

returned. Circuit is totally eliminated by making all earth as substantial as

consistent with nature of design. Other factors that have to successfully

study include availability of adequate return points on board and it’s

mounting from accessibility of switch connections made for mechanical

fixing ventilation effect of vibration.

 Cleaning The Board:-

_________________________________________________________________
4
_ 6
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer
The copper side of the board must be thoroughly cleaned

before circuit plan is transferred to it.

This is very important because even slightest trance of graze

(from figure of instance) will impure the etching process and when the

circuit plan has been neatly transferred to copper in this manner the board

is held under running tap and allowed to dry before resist is applied.

 Transforming The Plan:-

Now, once cleaning is done plan has to transfer on copper

surface of PCB material. A convenient way to do this is simply put a

carbon paper between a copper surface of the board and working plan and

carefully trace the lines of original plan with a ball pen.

 Resist:-

Resist is northing more than a substance that is unaffected

by presence etching chemicals. It is usually colored so that, it can be

easily seen the copper that are to be left in fact as the copper conductors

must be covered when resists the leaguer type of paints posses good

resists properties but disadvantages of relatively long time taken for

drying. It is essential to resist.

Through hardening before etching is started. Nail polished

are better as they quickly and are less difficult to remove.

_________________________________________________________________
4
_ 7
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

To overcome this drying effect and to achieve the sharp

edges of the trace on the PCB, now-a-days, etching taps along with IC

pads are commonly used. The etching taps and pads are available in

different sizes.

 Correcting Errors:-

When a result has been thoroughly hardened any errors that

have been made can usually be corrected by gently scratching away with

knife. To ensure clear out lines round edges of copper conductor’s board

he resist must be applied with steady band.

 Etching: -

Next comes etching of unwanted copper and whether a small

single is all that is required as quantity of board to be produced certain

precautions must be taken before operation is commenced the most used

etch anti ferric chloride and to this is added small quantity of HCL to

Accelerate, but not critical as lab construction is concerned.

Mixing 10 grams of ferric chloride and 25 grams of HCL with 15 grams of

water can produce a good etch ant.

_________________________________________________________________
4
_ 8
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer
 Agitation: -

Small plastic bath is idle for storing the etch ant process. The

depth of liquid must be sufficient to completely cover laminate; the

laminated board carrying the resist pattern circuit is then dropped into etch

ant bath and the gentle agitation takes 5 to 20 minutes to complete

depending on the strength of the etch ant temperature and thickness of

copper foil.

 Finishing Off: -

When all unwanted copper is dissolved from areas between

conductors, beard should be taken from an etch ant and washed in water.

The .resist must be polished with any kind of cleaner. It should be seen

that there is no slight incomplete etching between the conducing paths of

the PCB. The PCBs are coated coating material for protection in lab

Coating itself is a solder. This process is called tinning. This

process of coating involves tracks with solder. Advantage of tinning the

effect of environment of conductors, then PCB is drilled i.e. holes for filling

and mounting the components on PCB are drilled with suitable drill bit.

 Assembling Of PCB:-

Description: -

The AT89C2051 is a low-voltage, high-performance CMOS

8-bit microcomputer with 2K bytes of Flash programmable and erasable

read-only memory (PEROM). The device is manufactured using Atmel’s

high-density nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with the

industry-standard MCS-51 instruction set. By combining a versatile 8-bit

CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT89C2051 is a powerful

microcomputer which provides a highly-flexible and cost-effective solution

to many embedded control applications.

The AT89C2051 provides the following standard features: 2K

bytes of Flash, 128 bytes of RAM, 15 I/O lines, two 16-bit timer/counters, a

five vector two-level interrupt architecture, a full duplex serial port, a

precision analog comparator, on-chip oscillator and clock circuitry. In

addition, the AT89C2051 is designed with static logic for operation down

to zero frequency and supports two software selectable power saving

modes. The Idle Mode stops the CPU while allowing the RAM,

timer/counters, serial port and interrupt system to continue functioning.

The power-down mode saves the RAM contents but freezes the oscillator

disabling all other chip functions until the next hardware reset.

Pin Description: -

1) VCC

Supply voltage.

2) GND

Ground.

3) Port 1

The Port 1 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port. Port pins P1.2 to

P1.7 provide internal pull-ups. P1.0 and P1.1 require external pull-ups.

P1.0 and P1.1 also serve as the positive input (AIN0) and the negative

input (AIN1), respectively, of the on-chip precision analog comparator. The

Port 1 output buffers can sink 20 mA and can drive LED displays directly.

When 1s are written to Port 1 pins, they can be used as inputs. When pins

P1.2 to P1.7 are used as inputs and are externally pulled low, they will

source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 1 also receives

code data during Flash programming and verification.

4) Port 3

Port 3 pins P3.0 to P3.5, P3.7 are seven bi-directional I/O

pins with internal pull-ups. P3.6 is hard-wired as an input to the output of

the on-chip comparator and is not accessible as a general- purpose I/O

pin. The Port 3 output buffers can sink 20 mA. When 1s are written to Port

_________________________________________________________________
5
_ 7
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

3 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as

inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled low will

source current (IIL) because of the pull-ups. Port 3 also serves the

functions of various special features of the AT89C2051 as listed below:

Port 3 also receives some control signals for Flash programming and

verification.

5) RST

Reset input. All I/O pins are reset to 1s as soon as RST goes

high. Holding the RST pin high for two machine cycles while the oscillator

is running resets the device. Each machine cycle takes 12 oscillator or

clock cycles.

6) XTAL1

Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier and input to the

internal clock operating circuit.

Port Pin Alternate Functions

P3.0 RXD (serial input port)

P3.1 TXD (serial output port)

P3.2 INT0 (external interrupt 0)

P3.3 INT1 (external interrupt 1)

P3.4 T0 (timer 0 external input)

_________________________________________________________________
5
_ 8
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

P3.5 T1 (timer 1 external input)

7) XTAL2

Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier.

Oscillator Characteristics: -

The XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output,

respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can be configured for use as

an on-chip oscillator; either a quartz crystal or ceramic resonator may be

used. To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be

left unconnected while XTAL1 is driven. There are no requirements on the

duty cycle of the external clock signal, since the input to the internal

clocking circuitry is through a divide-by-two flip-flop, but minimum and

maximum voltage high and low time specifications must be observed.

Special Function Registers: -

A map of the on-chip memory area called the Special

Function Register (SFR) space is shown in the table below. Note that not

all of the addresses are occupied, and unoccupied addresses may not be

implemented on the chip. Read accesses to these addresses will in

general return random data, and write accesses will have an indeterminate

effect. User software should not write 1s to these unlisted locations, since

_________________________________________________________________

they may be used in future products to invoke new features. In that case,

the reset or inactive values of the new bits will always be.

 Device Operation

Description: -

The LM324 series are low–cost, quad operational amplifiers

with true differential inputs. They have several distinct advantages over

standard operational amplifier types in single supply applications. The

quad amplifier can operate at supply voltages as low as 3.0 V or as high

as 32 V with quiescent currents about one–fifth of those associated with

the MC1741 (on a per amplifier basis). The common mode input range

includes the negative supply, thereby eliminating the necessity for external

biasing components in many applications. The output voltage range also

includes the negative power supply voltage.

 IC 4027: -

Description: -

The HEF4027B is a dual JK flip-flop which is edge-triggered

and features independent set direct (SD), clear direct (CD), clock (CP)

inputs and outputs (O,O). Data is accepted when CP is LOW, and

transferred to the output on the positive-going edge of the clock. The

active HIGH asynchronous clear-direct (CD) and set-direct (SD) are

independent and override the J, K, and CP inputs. The outputs are

buffered for best system performance. Schmitt-trigger action in the clock

input makes the circuit highly tolerant to slower clock rise and fall times.

FAULT

FINDING

_________________________________________________________________

_ 5
Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Fault Finding: -

Fault finding is the process of finding out fault in the circuit.

Its plays a vital role in or project because it helps us to detect our mistake

and thus guide to the path of success.

In this process each and every component section of the

circuit and a complete circuit as a whole is checked to rectify the faults

present if any. While doing so if any fault is detected, firstly its root cause

is found out and appropriate correction is done. After making corrections

the same process is repeated to assure accurate result.

So, we must not forget to note a point that in any project the

process of trouble shooting should be included to make your project

successful one.

Its rarely happens that any project work is accomplished

without any problem. During the project we also had to face many

problems.

Electronics & Telecom. Path Tracer

Difficulty Occurred During Project: -

 Micro controller IC 89C2051 was not readily available in the

market so we had to travel again and again to the IC stockiest,

while collecting the components.

SOLUTION:

We requested the stockiest to arrange the IC as soon as

possible.

 While soldering the components on the PCB, proper soldering

was not done as we were not trained.

SOLUTION:

We had taken help from lab assistant; he assisted in the

work of soldering.

 While mounting micro controller IC 89C2051 on PCB the IC was

getting short circuited.

SOLUTION:

There was some fault in soldering process. Some where in

circuit soldering was not done proper so there was wrong connection.

 The car was operating in opposite condition i.e. when

car has to move in right direction, the car will take left

turn. And when the car has to move in left direction the

car will take right turn. So car deflected from the path

and it comes in toggle condition and stops over there

only.

SOLUTION:

We have connected motors of the car in wrong way. We

have connected left motor to the signal coming of right motor and left

motor to the signal coming of right motor. We interchanged the connection

of motor.
