week 14 ( 29 / 3 / 2013 - 3 / 5 / 2013 )

week 13 ( 22 / 4 / 2013 - 26 / 4 / 2013)

  Final preparation for presentation

             Now the final preparation before the presentation day where engineering students represents their own ideas to develop something in technological style. Taking an ideas and developing it into a definable concept. The project poster also need to provide as a summary for content of operation project. It's good to have a project presentation because it can develop student to be confident as a future engineer.

week 12 (15 / 4 / 2013 - 19 / 3 / 2013)

Troubleshoot Switch Mode Power Supply(SMPS)

        Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is a device converts the available unregulated ac or dc input voltage to a regulated dc output voltage. However in case of SMPS with input supply drawn from the ac mains, the input voltage is first rectified and filtered using a capacitor at the rectifier output. The unregulated dc voltage across the capacitor is then fed to a high frequency dc-to-dc converter. During project simulation,  SMPS was suddenly damaged and it cause the AC supply cut off. 

   

          Then, troubleshoot it by testing using multimeter to measure the output value, 12VDC. The result was SMPS functioning well. There's no problem with the circuit and operate to convert from AC supply to DC supply. 

week 11 (8 / 4 / 2013 - 12 / 4 / 2013)

    Project pre-demo

          Just 2 week remaining before the project presentation event. So, the preparation should be ready in order to pass the assessment. Firstly, project pre-demo presentation with supervisor as a initial preparation and can trace the some mistake that may decrease project presentation mark. Fortunately, project supervisor  has satisfied without any doubt. Just some project content need to touch up and decorate the project to be more creative.
