REFLECTION 3

Assalamualaikum..

As usual, this week, on Tuesday, I have attended Introduction to Electronic System Class. For this week, we had to learn about ULTIBOARD since last week we dont have class, so our class will be postponed this week. That's why we're little bit slow compare to Section 2 even En.Redzuan also said that we're slow learner. SAD enough T_T

Okay, first of all, I want to share about Ultiboard. What is Ultiboard?

"NI Ultiboard or formerly ULTIboard is an electronic Printed Circuit BoardLayout program which is part of a suite of circuit design programs, along withNI Multisim. One of its major features is the Real Time Design Rule Check, a feature that was only offered on expensive work stations in the days when it was introduced. ULTIboard was originally created by a company namedUltimate Technology, which is now a subsidiary of National Instruments. Ultiboard includes a 3D PCB viewing mode, as well as integrated import and export features to the Schematic Capture and Simulation software in the suite, Multisim."

 As followed in the schedule, we had to do the task that En. Redzuan give to us.The circuit given to us look simple since we're learned the basic one, but somehow, it looks confusing. To do this task, the circuit must be drawn in the MULTISM first, on my previous post, I already post about multism. All the component must be arranged perfectly and must be in real component because the virtual component does not funtioned on Ultiboard. This is my circuit looks like :

After complete the circuit in Multism, all the component is dragged & arranged into the ultiboard.As it has being transferred, I adjusted it follow to what En Redzuan told us. I changed the shape of the board till it looks like pacman ! Cute isn't it? :P

I also changed the position of some of the components and traces whether on top or at the bottom of the copper board. After all the steps were done, click auto-route on the menu. I checked whether the circuit has DRC or not. If there has some red lines, it means the circuit is arranged wrong. Yeahh, my circuit have many red lines! zzzz . Really frustrating to arranged the component till the red line gone and changed to green line -__- I fixed every error that occured on the circuit.

As there was no red line on the circuit, I am completely done with my task. This is my circuit view with 3D :

Grrrrr !

Well, thats all we did for this week . Look forward to my next post ! Thank you and Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha :)
