TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Our teaching notes are supplied on a CD so you can print them for student handouts. The booklet is typically 24 pages in length and covers activities from the design brief to evaluation.

There are work sheets on manufacturing an enclosure, the build instructions for the project, information on debugging the project kit and a description of how it works. All in all a wealth of information, which you can choose from to make your lesson planning easier.

THE PCBs

Our PCBs use an industry standard FR4 quality board, manufactured using a lead free finish. We try to make the PCBs easy to assemble by providing component identification and ensuring that the components are well spread out.

On the underside of the board the pads are large for ease of soldering and again where possible well spaced from adjacent pads. A solder resist layer is present to ensure that the solder only goes on the pads, thus preventing unintentional solder shorts between tracks.

‘LIGHT UP’ DECORATION PACK

The decoration is made by layering laser cut Perspex sheet. The centre piece uses clear Perspex illuminated by a colour changing LED. As the LED changes colour this can be seen in the edges of the plastic or in ‘etched / engraved’ sections. The design has been created so that the shape of the decoration can easily be altered by the student. Making it ideal for seasonal tasks such as Christmas, Easter, etc. The pack contains all the parts required to build ten of the kits (excluding Perspex). You will need a solid colour for the base and a sheet of clear for the part of the decoration that is ‘lit up’. See page 95 / 97.

STEADY HAND GAME PROJECT KIT (WITH LATCH)

The board has a buzzer that sounds momentarily when the loop makes contact with the wire. It also has an LED, which latches on when the buzzer sounds via the use of a thyristor. It then remains on so that even the briefest contact of the loop with the wire can be indicated. A push button is used to reset the LED.

WIRELESS STEADY HAND GAME

With this steady hand game the connection from the loop to the board is made by the body of the person using the game, hence why it is called a wireless steady hand game. If the loop touches the wire track then a buzzer sounds for about a second (no matter how brief the touch). The circuit uses a hex buffer IC to detect the change in resistance when contact it made and the same buffer IC with an RC network keeps the buzzer on for the given time.

SOLAR GARDEN LIGHT KIT

The solar garden light is an interesting project that uses sustainable energy to illuminate a white LED. During the day the solar panel charges an AA battery, then when it goes dark the board automatically switches from charging the battery to illuminating the LED. The solar panel is resin encapsulated and therefore waterproof. Students will need to make a waterproof enclosure for the rest of the parts. Alternatively the sustainability theme can be extended to reusability as the board has been shaped so that it will fit into an old jar.

555 ASTABLE KIT (TONE GENERATOR)

This kit is perfect for GCSE students needing to use a 555 timer in its astable mode, where it produces a square wave output. The frequency of the square wave is adjustable via the variable resistor. The board has a choice of two outputs. The logic output can be used to drive another IC or a speaker can be connected so the tone is heard (e.g. a door bell). The push button switch connects to the reset line such that the IC is only active when the button is pressed.

Requires x3 AA batteries and depending upon desired use a speaker, both available separately.

This example of the solar garden light shows the great effects that can be achieved by using the light in an old jam jar. Students are asked to bring in an old jar from home. They then make a small hole in the lid to feed the wires through for the solar cell and glue it in place and weather proof it using hot melt glue.

The circuit board then sits in the bottom of the jar illuminating it. The butterfly shapes in this example are designed on CAD and then ‘stickers’ are cut from adhesive backed vinyl using a Craft Robocutter. These stickers are then placed on the jar, which is grit blasted to create the frosting. Finally the stickers are removed to leave the finished design.

TIMED NIGHT LIGHT PROJECT KIT

The colour changing LED on this kit turns on when it goes dark and stays on for a period of time. This makes a good night light and because the LED is only on for a small amount of time the batteries last much longer.

There is an on board trimmer to set the light level at which the LED turns on and another trimmer to set how long the LED stays on for. The maximum duration is about 30 minutes. When set to 15 minutes and activated once a night the batteries will last two months.

ALARM PROJECT KIT

The kit can be used to make a shed or room alarm. It is armed / disarmed by a hidden switch. Alarms are detected by a micro switch mounted onto a door. A timer provides an entry delay during which the system can be disarmed, whilst a separate timer silences the alarm after two minutes. Both of these timers are implemented via a 555 timer IC. The alarm can be further enhanced by using a simple key switch for arming / disarming or by adding a magnetic door contact to activate it. The board, battery pack & buzzer can be placed into a box designed by the student.

BATTERY TESTER PROJECT KIT

This kit has a single AA battery holder into which a battery can be placed, LEDs then illuminate to show the remaining capacity of the battery. The circuit uses a quad operational amplifier to provide a reference voltage and comparators to determine which LEDs should go on. This makes it a great kit for studying operational amplifiers.

Testing of the kit can be performed using an adjustable power supply, or with our circuit tester (consisting of an AA battery holder, variable resistor & crocodile clips).

TIMER PROJECT KIT

The timer project uses a dual 555 timer, which once started by pressing the button, illuminates an LED until the desired time out period has elapsed, when a buzzer is sounded. The duration of both the delay and buzzer sound period can be determined by the student and are easily adjusted by PCB mounted potentiometers. This allows the board to be used for a variety of applications, such as an egg timer or a timer for a game. (Max time period 200 seconds, max buzzer period 10 seconds)

RELAY BOARD KIT

This is a versatile board that can easily be configured via jumpers and trimmer potentiometers to do a range of tasks. Most sensor and switches can be connected to the input of the board and the trigger level set for the input device. This can be inverted if required, then there is the option to feed this straight to the relay or a timer of up to 25 minutes can be used. The board can run off any voltage from 4.5 to 6 volts. A datasheet that details what the board does and how to use it along with some worked examples can be downloaded from: www.kitronik.co.uk/quicklinks/2144/

Suppose you want to detect if someone has walked in to a space and audibly sound this else where. Then you could use a PIR module, the relay board and a sounder to do this. The connections would be as follows:

SHOWER WATER SAVER TIMER KIT

This project is a nice way of getting students to think about how much water they are using and to do something about it when showering. When tipped up a four minute timer starts, this is shown by the blue LED flashing the number of minutes remaining every 10 seconds. i.e. it flashes four times to start with, then three, two, one until the four minutes is up. The kit is fairly straight forward to make due to the low part count and is supplied with a pre-programmed processor. If used daily by all members of a family the coin cell will last a number of years. The tilt switch allows for a completely enclosed case, which is required as the electronics are not waterproof.

The motor controller board can be used in two ways. You can use your PC flowchart software to write the control application for an 18 pin PIC, or by fitting two more LEDs and downloading some free basic software on to the board you can use it as a standalone sequence controller. This allows students to first pick up the basics of motor direction control, using the sequence controller. Then using the same hardware they are now familiar with, move on to more advanced flowchart control.

The board has four inputs, complete with test switches and four outputs complete with debug LEDs. The outputs can drive two motors with forward and reverse control or four motors with on / off control. However please note the outputs work in pairs and this means that when using four motors, it is not possible to drive motors 1&2 at the same time, nor can outputs 3&4 be driven at the same time.

The kit is compatible with most educational PICs & software. Processor not included.

8 PIN PIC DEVELOPMENT AND PROJECT BOARDS

These boards have been designed to complement each other. The larger development board (once built) can be used as a starting point for a project by attaching inputs and outputs to the board via the terminal blocks. The PIC software can then be developed and the complete solution tested without using a soldering iron. Once students are happy with their design they can transfer the design to the project board, soldering their chosen peripherals into the board. The development board can be reused on future projects. You can connect any device to the outputs of the board including LEDs, sounders, motors etc. The teaching notes for this project include a number of possible projects including, a decision maker, traffic light, timer, quiz buzzer, alarm and a timed fan. Both boards are supplied in kit form.

PICAXE MICROBOT PICAXE M2 SERIES CHIPS

The PICAXE microbot is an exciting introduction to robotics and can be fully customised to give different input sensors and output devices. Microbot use a unique patented ‘microbric’ connector technology that means the robot can be easily reconfigured with just an Allen key. The microbot chassis pack requires no soldering - just assemble the parts using the Allen key supplied.

The M2 series PICAXE chips are more powerful than the regular M chips. The pins can be configured to give the number of inputs and outputs your project needs. The parts allow for more complex programs to be written as they have more memory and more variables. There is support for additional peripherals such as elapsed time, internal temperature reading, serial comms interfacing and so on. The big change with the M2 series chips is that your software can run several flow charts simultaneously. The PICAXE Cyberpet, alarm & dice are now supplied with an 08M2LE which is a lite edition of the 08M2 chip. It is more powerful than the 08 chip previously supplied with the kit, but only has one start and less memory than the full 08M2. Note: If the chip you plan on using isn’t listed in your software you will need to upgrade the software.

GEM MASTER TOOL

Code

2644

Description

Gem Master tool £21.50

1+

Why not add some sparkle to a textiles or resistant materials project with our range of gems and studs. The gems are a great value for money. This allows excellent effects to be achieved for only a few pence per student.

The gems and studs have a ‘hot melt’ backing that is activated when heated using the ‘Gem Master’ tool. The adhesive backing allows the gems to be attached to many types of textiles, plastics, wooden materials, etc. They are available in a wide range of colours and sizes (see next page for details).

Gems are made from a glass like material where as the studs are made from metal and are shaped to look like gems. Studs offer a lot of sparkle at a lower cost than a gem.

The ‘Gem Master’ tool from Antex is perfect for using with our range of gems and studs. It has 15w and 30w power settings and a wide range of tips for gems and studs of various shapes and sizes.

Flasher controller and LEDs

This unit offers a simple way of adding 'flashing' white LEDs to a textiles project. The unit is programmed with a number of flashing patterns that are selected by a push button on the main PCB. Pressing this button cycles through the following patterns: all LEDs constantly on, slow flash all on all off, fast flash each in turn and turned off. The device features auto off, which turns the unit off after 30 minutes to preserve battery life. Depending upon flash pattern the battery lasts for approximately two days of constant use.

This kit is supplied ‘pre-built’ so requires no soldering. Each kit comprises three small PCB’s. The largest of the three PCB’s holds an LED plus the control electronics, battery and a push button. On both of the remaining PCB’s there is an LED, which are connected to the main board with conductive thread.
