 Components Chapter 3

Major Components

• Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino Uno): The brain of the quiz board, used to control the

LEDs and read inputs from buttons.

• Push Buttons: Used to select questions and answers.

• LEDs: Indicate correct or incorrect answers.

• Resistors: Limit current to protect LEDs.

• Buzzer: Provides auditory feedback for correct or incorrect answers.

• Breadboard/PCB: For assembling the circuit.

• Connecting Wires: Connect various components.

• Power Supply: Provides the necessary voltage and current for the circuit.

Minor Components

• Diodes: Prevent backflow of current.

• Capacitors: Stabilize power supply.

• Transistors: Used for switching and amplifying signals.

Schematic Diagram
The circuit design consists of the following sections:

1. Microcontroller Interface: Connects the microcontroller with the push buttons and LEDs.

• Data Acquisition: The microcontroller receives data from sensors such as RPM sensors,
temperature sensors, or any other input devices. This data acquisition process involves
sampling analog signals, converting them to digital format if necessary, and processing
them according to programmed instructions.

• Signal Processing: Once data is acquired, the microcontroller processes it through

algorithms and logic embedded in its firmware. This could include calculations,
comparisons, or triggering specific actions based on predefined conditions or user inputs

2. Input Section: Includes push buttons for selecting questions and answers.

• Signal Conditioning: Input signals from sensors or external devices often require
conditioning to ensure they meet the requirements of the circuit components they interface
with. This may involve amplification, filtering, or conversion (analog-to-digital or
digitalto-analog) to adapt signals for processing.

• Interface Circuitry: Depending on the complexity of the system, the interface circuitry
may include buffers, amplifiers, ADCs (Analog-to-Digital Converters), DACs (Digital-
toAnalog Converters), and other components to process and convert signals as needed by
the circuit.
3. Output Section: Includes LEDs and a buzzer to indicate the results.

• Signal Conditioning: The output signals from the circuit may require conditioning to
meet the specific requirements of connected devices or actuators. This can involve
amplification, filtering, or digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) to produce signals
suitable for driving external loads.

• Actuator Control: The interface facilitates the control of actuators such as motors,
solenoids, valves, or relays based on processed data or commands from the circuit. This
control ensures precise operation and responsiveness to system requirements.
A basic schematic diagram is illustrated below:
 Connections Chapter 5

Push Buttons

• Connection: Push buttons are connected to the digital input pins of the microcontroller.
Each push button typically has two or more terminals: one connected to a digital input pin
and the other connected to ground (GND). Sometimes, a pull-up or pull-down resistor is
used to ensure that the input pin reads a definite high (1) or low (0) state when the button
is not pressed.
• Function: In the quiz board, push buttons serve as the interface for the user to select
questions and answers. When a button is pressed, it completes the circuit and sends a
signal (high or low) to the microcontroller's input pin.
• Example Connection: If you have a push button connected to digital pin 2 of the
Arduino, you would also connect one terminal of the button to pin 2 and the other
terminal to ground. You might also use the internal pull-up resistor by setting pinMode
(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP) in the setup function.
• Start/Stop Functionality: A push button can be assigned the task of starting or stopping
the BLDC motor. When pressed, it triggers the microcontroller to activate or deactivate
the motor based on programmed logic. This functionality is crucial for initiating motor
operations or halting them in response to operational needs.

• Speed Adjustment: Push buttons can also be used to adjust the speed of the BLDC
motor. Each press of a button could increment or decrement the motor speed setpoint,
allowing for fine-tuning of RPM values according to application requirements. This
feature enhances flexibility and precision in motor control.

• Mode Selection: In more advanced implementations, push buttons may facilitate mode
selection. For example, switching between manual and automatic control modes where
 manual mode allows direct user input for speed adjustments, while automatic mode may
involve predefined speed profiles or closed-loop control based on feedback from RPM
sensors.

LEDs

• Connection: LEDs are connected to the digital output pins of the microcontroller through
current-limiting resistors. Each LED has two terminals: the anode (positive) connected to
the microcontroller's output pin via a resistor and the cathode (negative) connected to
ground.

• Function: LEDs provide visual feedback on the quiz board. Green LEDs typically
indicate correct answers, while red LEDs indicate incorrect answers. The microcontroller
controls these LEDs by setting the corresponding output pins high or low.

• Example Connection: If an LED is connected to digital pin 9 of the Arduino, the anode
is connected to pin 9 through a resistor (e.g., 220 ohms), and the cathode is connected to
ground. The microcontroller turns the LED on by setting pin 9 high and off by setting it
low.

Buzzer

• Connection: The buzzer is connected to a digital output pin of the microcontroller. One
terminal of the buzzer is connected to the output pin, and the other terminal is connected
to ground.

• Function: The buzzer provides auditory feedback for correct and incorrect answers. The
microcontroller generates a tone or sound by sending a signal to the buzzer, using
functions like tone() in the Arduino environment to control the frequency and duration of
the sound.

• Example Connection: If the buzzer is connected to digital pin 11 of the Arduino, one
terminal is connected to pin 11 and the other to ground. The microcontroller can then
produce a sound by setting the pin high or using the tone(buzzerPin, frequency, duration)
function.
 Power Supply

• Connection: The power supply is connected to the power input pins of the
microcontroller. For an Arduino Uno, the power supply typically connects to the VIN pin
(for input voltage) and GND (ground) pin. Alternatively, the USB port can be used to
supply power.

• Function: The power supply provides the necessary voltage and current to power the
microcontroller and all connected components (push buttons, LEDs, buzzer). It ensures
that the entire circuit operates correctly.

• Example Connection: If using a 9V battery, you might connect the positive terminal to
the VIN pin and the negative terminal to the GND pin of the Arduino. Ensure that the
power supply matches the voltage requirements of the microcontroller and components to
prevent damage.
 Detailed Connection Example Chapter 6

To illustrate how these components are connected in the quiz board, consider the following
example:

1. Push Buttons:

o Connect one terminal of the push button to digital pin 2 on the Arduino.
o Connect the other terminal of the push button to ground.

o In the code, use pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP) to enable the internal

pullup resistor.

2. LEDs:

o Connect the anode of a green LED to digital pin 9 through a 220-ohm resistor.
o Connect the cathode of the green LED to ground.
 o Connect the anode of a red LED to digital pin 10 through a 220-ohm resistor.

o Connect the cathode of the red LED to ground.

3. Buzzer:

• Connect one terminal of the buzzer to digital pin 11 on the Arduino.

• Connect the other terminal of the buzzer to ground.
