FINDING AND ANALYZING
4.1 Finding From The Circuit
We have faced some problems when making circuit .One of the major problem is
from the relay circuit . This is because we need to do the circuit repeatedly because it not
worked properly after connection been made . We made some correction from the
original circuit to make work properly.
4.2 COMPONENTS DESCRIPTIONS
In this project we are using many an electronic components, such as parallel port,
relay, transistor, IC 2804, twin gear motor and so on. Followings are the description for
all the component which are we using for this project.
4.2.1 Parallel Port
Parallel port is a simple and inexpensive tool for building computer controlled
devices and projects. The simplicity and ease of programming makes parallel port
popular in electronics hobbyist world. The parallel port is often used in Computer
controlled robots, Atmel/PIC programmers and home automation.
Everybody knows what is parallel port, where it can be found, and for what it is
being used. the primary use of parallel port is to connect printers to computer and is
specifically designed for this purpose. Thus it is often called as printer Port or Centronics
port (this name came from a popular printer manufacturing company 'Centronics' who
devised some standards for parallel port). You can see the parallel port connector in the
rear panel of your PC. It is a 25 pin female (DB25) connector (to which printer is
connected).
Figure 4.1: Shows 25 pin parallel port (parallel printer port)
Table 4.1: Shows the parallel port signal lines
As you know, the Data, Control and status lines are connected to there corresponding
registers inside the computer. So by manipulating these registers in program , one can
easily read or write to parallel port with programming languages like 'C' and BASIC.
The registers found in standard parallel port are ;

1) data register
2) Status register
3) Control register
4.2.2 IC 2804 (Eight Darlington Arrays)

and integral suppression diodes for inductive loads.
ii. ULN2804A has a 10.5kW input resistor for 6-15V CMOS.
iii. Supplied in a 18-lead plastic DIP with
iv. A copper lead from and feature the convenient input-opposite-output pin out to
simplify board layout.
Figure 4.2: Shows IC 2804
4.2.3 Relay
A relay is an electrical switch that opens and closes under the control of another
electrical circuit. In the original form, the switch is operated by an electromagnet to open
or close one or many sets of contacts. It was invented by Joseph Henry in 1835. Because
a relay is able to control an output circuit of higher power than the input circuit, it can be
considered to be, in a broad sense, a form of an electrical amplifier.
Figure 4.3: Shows relay and symbol for relay

When a current flows through the coil, the resulting magnetic field attracts an
armature that is mechanically linked to a moving contact. The movement either makes or
breaks a connection with a fixed contact. When the current to the coil is switched off, the
armature is returned by a force approximately half as strong as the magnetic force to its
relaxed position. Usually this is a spring, but gravity is also used commonly in industrial
motor starters. Most relays are manufactured to operate quickly.
In a low voltage application, this is to reduce noise. In a high voltage or high current
application, this is to reduce arcing.
If the coil is energized with DC, a diode is frequently installed across the coil, to
dissipate the energy from the collapsing magnetic field at deactivation, which would
otherwise generate a spike of voltage and might cause damage to circuit components.
Some automotive relays already include that diode inside the relay case. Alternatively a
contact protection network, consisting of a capacitor and resistor in series, may absorb
the surge. If the coil is designed to be energized with AC, a small copper ring can be
crimped to the end of the solenoid. This "shading ring" creates a small out-of-phase
current, which increases the minimum pull on the armature during the AC cycle .
Relays are used for;
i. to control a high-voltage circuit with a low-voltage signal, as in some types of
modems,
ii. to control a high-current circuit with a low-current signal, as in the starter
solenoid of an automobile,
iii. to detect and isolate faults on transmission and distribution lines by opening and
closing circuit breakers (protection relays),
The relay's switch connections are usually labeled COM, NC and NO;
i. COM = Common, always connect to this, it is the moving part of the switch.
ii. NC = Normally Closed, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is off.
iii. NO = Normally Open, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is on.
iv. Connect to COM and NO if you want the switched circuit to be on when the
relay coil is on.
v. Connect to COM and NC if you want the switched circuit to be on when the
relay coil is off.
4.2.3.1 Usage of Relays And Transistors
Like relays, transistors can be used as an electrically operated switch. For
switching small DC currents (< 1A) at low voltage they are usually a better choice than a
relay. However transistors cannot switch AC or high voltages (such as mains electricity)
and they are not usually a good choice for switching large currents (> 5A). In these cases
a relay will be needed, but note that a low power transistor may still be needed to switch
the current for the relay's coil! The main advantages and disadvantages of relays are listed
below:
Advantages of relays are;
i. Relays can switch AC and DC, transistors can only switch DC.
ii. Relays can switch high voltages, transistors cannot.
iii. Relays are a better choice for switching large currents (> 5A).
iv. Relays can switch many contacts at once.
Disadvantages of relays are;
i. Relays are bulkier than transistors for switching small currents.
ii. Relays cannot switch rapidly (except reed relays), transistors can switch many
times per second.
iii. Relays use more power due to the current flowing through their coil.
iv. Relays require more current than many ICs can provide, so a low power
transistor may be needed to switch the current for the relay's coil.
You need to consider several features when choosing a relay;
1. Physical size and pin arrangement
If you are choosing a relay for an existing PCB you will need to ensure that its
dimensions and pin arrangement are suitable. You should find this information in
the supplier's catalogue.
2. Coil voltage
The relay's coil voltage rating and resistance must suit the circuit powering the
relay coil. Many relays have a coil rated for a 12V supply but 5V and 24V relays
are also readily available. Some relays operate perfectly well with a supply
voltage which is a little lower than their rated value.
3. Coil resistance
The circuit must be able to supply the current required by the relay coil. You can
use Ohm's law to calculate the current:
supply voltage
Relay coil current =
coil resistance
4. For example: A 12V supply relay with a coil resistance of 400 passes a current of
30mA. This is OK for a 555 timer IC (maximum output current 200mA), but it is
too much for most ICs and they will require a transistor to amplify the current.
5. Switch ratings (voltage and current)
The relay's switch contacts must be suitable for the circuit they are to control. You
will need to check the voltage and current ratings. Note that the voltage rating is
usually higher for AC, for example: "5A at 24V DC or 125V AC".
4.2.4 Light Emitting Diode (LED)
A light-emitting diode, usually called an LED is a semiconductor diode that emits
incoherent narrow-spectrum light when electrically biased in the forward direction of the
p-n junction, as in the common LED circuit. This effect is a form of electroluminescence.
An LED is usually a small area light source, often with optics added to the chip to
shape its radiation pattern . LEDs are often used as small indicator lights on electronic
devices and increasingly in higher power applications such as flashlights and area
lighting. The color of the emitted light depends on the composition and condition of the
semiconducting material used, and can be infrared, visible, or ultraviolet. LEDs can also
be used as a regular household light source. Besides lighting, interesting applications
include sterilization of water and disinfection of devices .
Figure 4.4: Shows the type and polarity of resister

Like a normal diode, the LED consists of a chip of semiconducting material
impregnated, or doped, with impurities to create a p-n junction. As in other diodes,
current flows easily from the p-side, or anode, to the n-side, or cathode, but not in the
reverse direction.
The wavelength of the light emitted, and therefore its color, depends on the band
gap energy of the materials forming the p-n junction. In silicon or germanium diodes, the
electrons and holes recombine by a non-radiative transition which produces no optical
emission, because these are indirect band gap materials. The materials used for the LED
have a direct band gap with energies corresponding to near-infrared, visible or near-
ultraviolet light.
LED development began with infrared and red devices made with gallium
arsenide. Advances in materials science have made possible the production of devices
with ever-shorter wavelengths, producing light in a variety of colors.
LEDs are usually built on an n-type substrate, with an electrode attached to the p-
type layer deposited on its surface. P-type substrates, while less common, occur as well.
Many commercial LEDs, especially GaN/InGaN, also use sapphire substrate. Substrates
that are transparent to the emitted wavelength, and backed by a reflective layer, and light
spreading layer, increase the LED efficiency. The refractive index of the package
material should match the index of the semiconductor, otherwise the produced light gets
partially reflected back into the semiconductor, where it may be absorbed and turned into
additional heat, thus lowering the efficiency. This type of reflection also occurs at the
surface of the package if the LED is coupled to a medium with a different refractive
index such as a glass fiber or air.
The refractive index of most LED semiconductors is quite high, so in almost all
cases the LED is coupled into a much lower-index medium. The large index difference
makes the reflection quite substantial (per the Fresnel coefficients), and this is usually
one of the dominant causes of LED inefficiency. Often more than half of the emitted light
is reflected back at the LED-package and package-air interfaces. The reflection is most
commonly reduced by using a dome-shaped (half-sphere) package with the diode in the
center so that the outgoing light rays strike the surface perpendicularly, at which angle
the reflection is minimized.
An anti-reflection coating may be added as well. The package may be cheap
plastic, which may be colored, but this is only for cosmetic reasons or to improve the
contrast ratio; the color of the packaging does not substantially affect the color of the
light emitted. Other strategies for reducing the impact of the interface reflections include
designing the LED to reabsorb and reemit the reflected light (called photon recycling)
and manipulating the microscopic structure of the surface to reduce the reflectance, either
by introducing random roughness or by creating programmed moth eye surface patterns.
Figure 4.5: Shows the type of LED
Conventional LEDs are made from a variety of inorganic semiconductor materials,
producing the following colors:
i. Aluminium gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) — red and infrared

orange, yellow, and green

vi. Gallium nitride (GaN) — green, pure green (or emerald green), and blue also
white (if it has an AlGaN Quantum Barrier)
vii. Indium gallium nitride (InGaN) — 450–470 nm — near ultraviolet, bluish-green
and blue

4.2.4.1 White LED’s

A combination of red, green and blue LEDs can produce the impression of white
light, though white LEDs today rarely use this principle. Most “white” LEDs in
production are modified blue LEDs: GaN-based, InGaN-active-layer LEDs emit blue
light of wavelengths between 450 nm and 470 nm. This InGaN-GaN structure is covered
with a yellowish phosphor coating usually made of cerium-doped yttrium aluminum
garnet (Ce3+:YAG) crystals which have been powdered and bound in a type of viscous
adhesive. The LED chip emits blue light, part of which is efficiently converted to a broad
spectrum centered at about 580 nm (yellow) by the Ce3+:YAG. Since yellow light
stimulates the red and green receptors of the eye, the resulting mix of blue and yellow
light gives the appearance of white, the resulting shade often called “lunar white”. This
approach was developed by Nichia Corporation and has been used since 1996 for the
manufacture of white LEDs.
Figure 4.6: Shows the white LED and the symbol
The pale yellow emission of the Ce3+:YAG can be tuned by substituting the
cerium with other rare earth elements such as terbium and gadolinium and can even be
further adjusted by substituting some or all of the aluminum in the YAG with gallium.
Due to the spectral characteristics of the diode, the red and green colors of objects in its
blue yellow light are not as vivid as in broad-spectrum light.
Manufacturing variations and varying thicknesses in the phosphor make the LEDs
produce light with different color temperatures, from warm yellowish to cold bluish; the
LEDs have to be sorted during manufacture by their actual characteristics. Philips
Lumileds patented conformal coating process addresses the issue of varying phosphor
thickness, giving the white LEDs a more consistent spectrum of white light.
White LEDs can also be made by coating near ultraviolet (NUV) emitting LEDs
with a mixture of high efficiency europium-based red and blue emitting phosphors plus
green emitting copper and aluminum doped zinc sulfide (ZnS:Cu, Al). This is a method
analogous to the way fluorescent lamps work. However the ultraviolet light causes
photodegradation to the epoxy resin and many other materials used in LED packaging,
causing manufacturing challenges and shorter lifetimes.
This method is less efficient than the blue LED with YAG:Ce phosphor, as the
Stokes shift is larger and more energy is therefore converted to heat, but yields light with
better spectral characteristics, which render color better. Due to the higher radiative
output of the ultraviolet LEDs than of the blue ones, both approaches offer comparable
brightness .
The newest method used to produce white light LEDs uses no phosphors at all
and is based on homoepitaxially grown zinc selenide (ZnSe) on a ZnSe substrate which
simultaneously emits blue light from its active region and yellow light from the substrate
A new technique developed by Michael Bowers, a graduate student at Vanderbilt
University in Nashville, involves coating a blue LED with quantum dots that glow white
in response to the blue light from the LED. This technique produces a warm, yellowish-
white light similar to that produced by incandescent bulbs .
The advantages of using LEDs are;
i. LEDs produce more light per watt than incandescent bulbs; this is useful in
battery powered or energy-saving devices.
ii. LEDs can emit light of an intended color without the use of color filters that
traditional lighting methods require. This is more efficient and can lower initial
costs.
iii. The solid package of the LED can be designed to focus its light. Incandescent and
fluorescent sources often require an external reflector to collect light and direct it
in a usable manner.
iv. When used in applications where dimming is required, LEDs do not change their
color tint as the current passing through them is lowered, unlike incandescent
lamps, which turn yellow.
v. LEDs are ideal for use in applications that are subject to frequent on-off cycling,
unlike fluorescent lamps that burn out more quickly when cycled frequently, or
HID lamps that require a long time before restarting.
vi. LEDs, being solid state components, are difficult to damage with external shock.
Fluorescent and incandescent bulbs are easily broken if dropped on the ground.
vii. LEDs can have a relatively long useful life. One report estimates 35,000 to 50,000
hours of useful life, though time to complete failure may be longer. Fluorescent
tubes typically are rated at about 30,000 hours, and incandescent light bulbs at
1,000–2,000 hours .
viii. LEDs mostly fail by dimming over time, rather than the abrupt burn-out of
incandescent bulbs .
Figure 4.7: Shows polarity and symbol for LED
4.2.4.2 LEDs Indicator
Miniature LEDs indicator are normally driven from low voltage DC via a current
limiting resistor. Currents of 2 mA, 10 mA and 20 mA are common. Some low current
indicators are only rated to 2 mA, and should not be driven at higher current.
Sub-mA indicators may be made by driving ultrabright LEDs at very low current.
Efficacy tends to reduce at low currents, but indicators running on 100 μA are still
practical. The cost of ultrabrights is higher than 2 mA indicator LEDs.
LEDs have a low max repeat reverse voltage rating, ranging from approximately
2 V to 5 V, and this can be a problem in some applications. Back to back LEDs are
immune to this problem. These are available in single color as well as bicolor types.
There are various strategies for reverse voltage handling.
4.2.5 Voltage Regulator
The Digilab board can use any power supply that creates a DC voltage between 6
and 12 volts. A 5V voltage regulator (7805) is used to ensure that no more than 5V is
delivered to the Digilab board regardless of the voltage present at the J12 connector
(provided that voltage is less than 12VDC). The regulator functions by using a diode to
clamp the output voltage at 5VDC regardless of the input voltage - excess voltage is
converted to heat and dissipated through the body of the regulator. If a DC supply of
greater than 12V is used, excessive heat will be generated, and the board may be
damaged. If a DC supply of less than 5V is used, insufficient voltage will be present at
the regulators output.
Figure 4.8: Shows positive voltage regulator
If a power supply provides a voltage higher than 7 or 8 volts, the regulator must
dissipate significant heat. The "fin" on the regulator body (the side that protrudes upward
beyond the main body of the part) helps to dissipate excess heat more efficiently. If the
board requires higher currents (due to the use of peripheral devices or larger breadboard
circuits), then the regulator may need to dissipate more heat. In this case, the regulator
can be secured to the circuit board by fastening it with a screw and nut (see below).
4.2.6 Transistor
In electronics, a transistor is a semiconductor device commonly used to amplify
or switch electronic signals. The transistor is the fundamental building block of
computers, and all other modern electronic devices. Some transistors are packaged
individually but most are found in integrated circuits.
An electrical signal can be amplified by using a device that allows a small current
or voltage to control the flow of a much larger current. Transistors are the basic devices
providing control of this kind. Modern transistors are divided into two main categories:
bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and field effect transistors (FETs). Applying current in
BJTs and voltage in FETs between the input and common terminals increases the
conductivity between the common and output terminals, thereby controlling current flow
between them. The characteristics of a transistor depend on its type.
Figure 4.9: Shows types of transistor
The term "transistor" originally referred to the point contact type, which saw very
limited commercial application, being replaced by the much more practical bipolar
junction types in the early 1950s. Today's most widely used schematic symbol, like the
term "transistor", originally referred to these long-obsolete devices .
In analog circuits, transistors are used in amplifiers, (direct current amplifiers,
audio amplifiers, radio frequency amplifiers), and linear regulated power supplies.
Transistors are also used in digital circuits where they function as electronic switches, but
rarely as discrete devices, almost always being incorporated in monolithic Integrated
Circuits. Digital circuits include logic gates, random access memory (RAM),
microprocessors, and digital signal processors (DSPs).
The key advantages that have allowed transistors to replace their vacuum tube
predecessors in most applications are:
i. Small size and minimal weight, allowing the development of miniaturized
electronic devices.
ii. Highly automated manufacturing processes, resulting in low per-unit cost.
iii. Lower possible operating voltages, making transistors suitable for small, battery-
powered applications.
iv. No warm-up period for cathode heaters required after power application.
v. Lower power dissipation and generally greater energy efficiency.
vi. Higher reliability and greater physical ruggedness.
vii. Extremely long life. Some transistorized devices produced more than 30 years ago
are still in service.
viii. Complementary devices available, facilitating the design of complementary-
symmetry circuits, something not possible with vacuum tubes.
ix. Though in most transistors the junctions have different doping levels and
geometry, some allow bidirectional current
x. Ability to control very large currents, as much as several hundred amperes.
xi. Insensitivity to mechanical shock and vibration, thus avoiding the problem of
microphonics in audio applications.
xii. More sensitive than the hot and macroscopic tubes
The usage of transistor are;

In the early days of transistor circuit design, the bipolar junction transistor, or
BJT, was the most commonly used transistor. Even after MOSFETs became available,
the BJT remained the transistor of choice for digital and analog circuits because of their
ease of manufacture and speed. However, desirable properties of MOSFETs, such as their
utility in low-power devices, have made them the ubiquitous choice for use in digital
circuits and a very common choice for use in analog circuits.
i) Switches
Transistors are commonly used as electronic switches, for both high power
applications including switched-mode power supplies and low power applications such as
logic gates.
ii) Amplifiers
From mobile phones to televisions, vast numbers of products include amplifiers

for sound reproduction, radio transmission, and signal processing. The first discrete
transistor audio amplifiers barely supplied a few hundred milliwatts, but power and audio
fidelity gradually increased as better transistors became available and amplifier
architecture evolved.
Transistors are commonly used in modern musical instrument amplifiers, in
which circuits up to a few hundred watts are common and relatively cheap. Transistors
have largely replaced valves (electron tubes) in instrument amplifiers. Some musical
instrument amplifier manufacturers mix transistors and vacuum tubes in the same circuit,
to utilize the inherent benefits of both devices.
4.2.7 Resistor
A resistor is a two-terminal electrical or electronic component that opposes an
electric current by producing a voltage drop between its terminals in proportion to the
current, that is, in accordance with Ohm's law: V = IR. The electrical resistance R is
equal to the voltage drop V across the resistor divided by the current I through the
resistor. Resistors are used as part of electrical networks and electronic circuits .
Figure 4.10: Shows types of resistor

Most axial resistors use a pattern of colored stripes to indicate resistance. Surface-
mount resistors are marked numerically. Cases are usually brown, blue, or green, though
other colors are occasionally found such as dark red or dark grey. One can also use a
multimeter or ohmmeter to test the values of a resistor.
Four-band identification is the most commonly used color coding scheme on all
resistors. It consists of four colored bands that are painted around the body of the resistor.
The scheme is simple: The first two numbers are the first two significant digits of the
resistance value, the third is a multiplier, and the fourth is the tolerance of the value (e.g.
green-blue-yellow red : 56 x (10^4) ohms = 56 x 10000 ohms = 560 Kohms ±2%). Each
color corresponds to a certain number, shown in the chart below. The tolerance for a 4-
band resistor will be 1%, 5%, or 10%.

CONCLUSION
5.1 Conclusion
Firstly, this is not a simple task to do but by doing this project we learned
something new skills and knowledge. We are putting a high effort for this project so that
it can be successful and useful product to everyone.
We learned so much fruitful knowledge and skills at the ending of this project. We
really get knew about the a project ingredients such as PCB layout, etching, soldering,
and software.
In additional, we also faced a lot of obstacles such as the PCB layout was wrongly
designed, led not light up, the signal cannot transmitted, did know the correct method of
soldering, and so on.
Now days, a lot of work done by robot. This robot are build for a general purpose. It
can be upgrade by connect mini camera and use it as a CCTV, to help people to vacuum
automatically and so on. This robot can move left, right, forward and reverse.
Finally, we would like to say thanks to our beloved lecturers and friends.
