Week 14

 PROTEUS DESIGN & SIMULATION

Meeting Purpose:         To produce Proteus design & simulation for the project.
Meeting Date:               12/5/2021 (Wednesday)
Meeting Time:              9 P.M

Meeting Location:        MS Teams Platform

Meeting Facilitator:     Mohamad Saifullah bin Zolkefly

Attendees:                     Muhammad Firdaus bin Khaled, Muhammad Nasir bin Aziz.

Decision Made:

1. Finalized all components

        - The main components used are 6 push-buttons, 2 motors (conveyor & water pump), Arduino Nano, buzzer, and LCD.

2. Proteus Design:

Figure 1: Proteus design for the project.

3. Proteus Simulation:

Discussion:

    Figure 1 shows the Proteus design to illustrate the operation of our bottle filling machine. The setup push button is placed at the bottom left which consists of Start, Stop, Up, and Set Timer. The other push button is for IR sensors 1 and 2. IR S1 used to detect the presence of empty bottles before the filling process. If the IR S1 detects the bottle, it sends a command to the Arduino Nano to stop the conveyor and then turn on the water pump for the filling process. The filling process depends on the setting timers parameters. After done filling, the water pump then turns off back and the conveyor motor starts to move back. The filled bottle then moves in front of IR S2 for the counting process. This process repeating until the machine is turned off. The design also comes with an adjustable timers button for setting up the timers according to the required time for the filling process.

Conclusion:

In the conclusion, the outcome we get is able to complete the design for the simulation stage using proteus. All the execution program and simulation phases are working just fine as planned.
