Familiarization of DMM usage & decoding the values of R - L - C using colour codes

Objective:
i. To familiarize with the process of decoding the values of Resistor,
Inductor, capacitor.
ii. To acquaint with multi meter usage.
Tools Required:
S. No Name of the Item Qty
1 Multimeter 1

2 Resistors, Inductors and capacitors of different ranges 3

Theory:
Resistors regulate the amount of current flowing in an electronic circuit. Resistors present a resistance
or impedance to the electrical circuit and reduce the amount of current that is allowed to flow. Resistors
are utilized for simple signal conditioning and to protect active electronic devices that could be
damaged by receiving excess current. Resistors must be properly sized and intact to perform these
functions.

Fig: R-L-C analogies

A capacitor is a device for storing charge in the electro static field.
An inductor resists changes in electric current passing through it. Energy is stored in a magnetic field in
the coil as long as current flows.

As all of us know electronic components are very small in size and printing a numerical value is futile
if the value is very large, so the most viable way is to associate its value with color bands. The colour
code of component is a way to identify the value and tolerance of components using a combination of
coloured bands.

Measurements done with multimeter

The multimeter is one of the most used devices in electronics, for determination and measuring
electrical quantities. With the development of integrated circuits the digital multimeter appeared. In the
digital multimeter result is displayed in the liquid crystal display (LCD) instead of the pointer movement
on the calibrated of analogue multimeter

Measurable quantities with multimeter:

Electrical resistance- measuring unit Ohm (Ω);

Voltage – volt (V)

 alternative voltage (~);

 continuous voltage(-);

Intensity of electrical current – amper (A);

 direct current(-);
 alternative current (~);

Besides this electrical quantities, multimeters also provides the opportunity to check functionality
some components.

28
 Example: Resitance LDR varies with the variation in light intensity.

Transistor forward current gain tells the working condition of the component.

Button ON - allows to start/ close the multimeter

Button HOLD - allows us to maintain the value showed on the display until pressing the button (the
measurement can‟t be made with the button pressed);
Working region selector- allows selecting the measurand of electrical quantities as well as the
measuring range.
Measurement circuits schemes using multimeter:
Voltages measurement:
To measure the voltage the multimeter can be connected anywhere in the circuit, the value shown
represents the voltage between those two test points.
Example of connection:

Source + + Multimeter

Fig. Voltage measurement

Dc voltage measurements (symbol V-)

We switch the range selector on one of the positions for DC voltage measurements. The selected
inscription is the maximum amount which can be measured on that scale. Connect the multimeter probe
tips to the points of measurement.

Read the display. If voltage value is greater than the maximum of that scale, display shows 1
then change the switching range on a scale with bigger value.

AC voltage measurements V~

Switch the range selector to AC voltage measurement position and connect the multimeter probe
tips to the points of measurement. Then we read the displayed value, which represents the effective
value of AC voltage measured.

29
 Measurement of electrical currents

When measuring the electrical currents we must consider the following basic rules, before
connecting the device:
The multimeter must be in series. Current measurement is always made by breaking the
conducting line and inserting the multimeter in the circuit.

Source + + Multimeter

-
Fig. Current measurement
Measurements of resistance
On this scale the multimeter measures the electrical resistance between two points of the circuit or the
electrical resistance of a component.

With the range selector on a Ω position.The measurement of electrical resistance is made only in
the absence of voltage or on separate components circuit. The measurement of a resistance placed in
circuit can show the reading an erroneous value because of the electrical circuit loops.

+ Multimeter
Rx
-

The important points to remember:

 While measuring voltage or current find the nature and then place the range selector switch at
maximum in the corresponding region based on the value shown choose Suitable range.
 Multimeter should be connected in series for the current measurement.
 Multimeter should be connected in parallel for the voltage measurement.
 While measuring resistance ensure that supply is not connected from anywhere.
Decoding the values from colour bands:
 Select appropriate component( R/L/C)
 Note down the band colours by taking the tolerance band at end as a reference.
 Using the colour code table identify the value of the color band.
 Calculate the value of the component nominal value and tolerance %.
Precautions:
1. Avoid series connection of multimeter terminals for voltage measurement.
2. Avoid parallel connection of multimeter terminals for the current measurement.
3. Resistance should be measured only when circuit is de energized and at least one of the
terminals is disconnected from the circuit.
4. Avoid measuring capacitance, inductance when they are in charged condition.

ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM

Objective:
i. To promote awareness on Computer Assembling and Disassembling

Tools required:
1. Screwdriver (for slotted and Phillips head screws)
2. Wire cutters and strippers
3. Needle-nosed pliers
4. Utility knife
5. Small flashlight
6. Adjustable wrench
7. Small container / magnet to hold screws
8. Heat sink compound
9. Grounding Strap or Electro static discharge band

Procedure:

Disassembling the computer system

Detach the power cable: Ensure the system shut down and then remove the power cable from
electricity switchboard, and then detach the external devices from the computer system. Then remove
the cable from SMPS (switch mode power supply) from the back of the CPU Cabinet. Now remove the
remaining external devices like keyboard, mouse, monitor, printer or scanner from the back of CPU
cabinet.

Remove the Cover: The standard way of removing tower cases used to be to undo the screws on the
back of the case, slide the cover back about an inch and lift it off. The screwdrivers as per the type of
screw are required to do the task.

Remove the adapter cards: Make sure if the card has any cables or wires that might be attached and
decide if it would be easier to remove them before or after you remove the card. Remove the screw if
any that holds the card in place. Grab the card by its edges, front and back, and gently rock it lengthwise
to release it.

Remove the drives: Removing drives is easier. There can be possibly three types of drives present in
your computer system, Hard disk drive, CD/DVD/Blue-ray drives, floppy disk drives (almost absolute
now a day). They usually have a power connector and a data cable attached from the device to a
controller card or a connector on the motherboard. CD/DVD/Blue Ray drive may have an analogue
cable connected to the sound card for direct audio output.

32
The power may be attached using one of two connectors, a Molex connector or a Berg connector for the
drive. The Molex connector may require to be wiggled slightly from side to side and apply gentle
pressure outwards. The Berg connector may just pull out or it may have a small tab which has to be
lifted with a screwdriver.

Now pull data cables off from the drive as well as motherboard connector. The hard disk drive and
CD/DVD drives have two types of data cables. IDE and SATA cables. The IDE cables need better care
while being removed as it may cause the damage to drive connector pins. Gently wiggle the cable
sideways and remove it. The SATA cables can be removed easily by pressing the tab and pulling the
connector straight back.

Now remove the screws and slide the drive out the back of the bay.

Remove the memory module:

Memory modules are mounted on the motherboard as the chips that can be damaged by manual force if
applied improperly. Be careful and handle the chip only by the edges. SIMMs and DIMMs are removed
in a different way:

 SIMM - gently push back the metal tabs while holding the SIMM chips in the socket. It will now
lift out of the socket. Put SIMM in a safe place.
 DIMM- Plastic tabs are available on the end of the DIMM sockets. Press the tabs down and away
from the socket. The DIMM will lift slightly. Now grab it by the edges and place it safely. Do
not let the chips get dust at all.

Remove the power supply:

The power supply is attached into tower cabinet at the top back end of the tower. Make sure the power
connector is detached from the switchboard. Start removing the power connector connected to
motherboard including CPU fan power connector, cabinet fan, the front panel of cabinet power buttons
and all the remaining drives if not detached yet.

Now remove the screws of SMPS from the back of the cabinet and the SMPS can be detached from the
tower cabinet.

Remove the motherboard:

Before removing all the connectors from the motherboard, make sure you memorize the connectors for
assembling the computer if required, as that may require connecting the connectors at its place. Remove
the screws from the back of the motherboard and you will be able to detach it from the cabinet. Now
remove the CPU fan from the motherboard. The heat sink will be visible now which can be removed by
the pulling the tab upward. Finally, the processor is visible now, which can be removed by the releasing
the lever and grab at the edges carefully otherwise pins may damage or if you touching the pins the
static electricity might damage the processor functionality.

Assembling the computer system

The assembling of the computer system is exactly the opposite of disassembling operation. Before
starting assembling the computer system, make sure you have the screws and a screwdriver for those.

The first step for assembling the computer system starts with mounting the processor on the processor
socket of the motherboard. To mount the process, you don't need to apply any force. The special ZIF
(zero insertion force) sockets are usually used to prevent any damage to the processor pins. Once the
processor is mounted, the heat sink will be attached on top of the processor. The CPU fan is also
attached on top of the heat sink.

Now the motherboard is to be fixed vertically in the tower case and the screws are fixed from behind of
the motherboard.

Now line up the power supply at the top back end of the cabinet and screw it. The power connectors for
motherboard power supply and CPU fan power supply are to be connected. If the cabinet cooling FAN
is required then it is to be screwed at the back end grill of the cabinet and its power connector is to be
connected from SMPS.

Install the CD/DVD drives at the top front end of the cabinet and screw it. Install the Hard disk drive
and floppy disk drive below CD/DVD drive and screw it. Make sure once screwed there is no vibration
in either of the CD/DVD, Hard disk or Floppy disk drives.

Now select the appropriate data cable and connect one end of the cable to its drive socket and another
end at its appropriate connector on the motherboard. For SATA hard disk drive or CD/DVD drives use
SATA cable and its power cable, else use IDE data cable. Do the proper jumper settings as per the usage
requirement.

It is time now to mount the memory modules on the motherboard by aligning the RAM to its socket on
the motherboard and press it downward. Make sure the side tabs are fixed into the RAM notch. If not,
you may still have to press a bit.

Install the internal cards to its socket and attach the cables or power cable to it. Ensure front panel
connectors are placed in correct position. Cover the tower by placing it and pressing towards front side
and screw it.

Connect the external devices with CPU at its appropriate socket. It includes mouse and keyboard at PS2
or USB connectors. Monitor at the video output socket. Connect the power cable to the back of tower in
SMPS. Plug in the power cable to the electric board.

SOLDERING AND DE SOLDERING TECHNIQUES

Objective:
i. To do practice the process of Soldering and de-soldering techniques.
Tools Required:
S. No Name of the Item Specifications Qty
1 Solder Iron 25W 01
2 Solder wire Lead 01
3 De-soldering pump --- 01
4 Flux 01box
5 PCB 01

6 Different electronic components 01

Theory:
Soldering:
Soldering is an act of unifying two pieces of similar or dissimilar metals by an alloy called Solder, the
melting point of which is lower than that of the metal to be united. When two surfaces of the metal are
soldered together, the solder penetrate pores of the metal and it makes firm grip with permanent
electrical continuity and strength.
Solder:
The soldering material or solder usually employed for the purpose of joining together two or more
metals at temperature below their melting point and is a fusible alloy. Solder is an alloy (i.e.mixture of
tin and lead) typically 60% tin and 40% lead. It melts at a temperature of about 200°C. Coating a surface
with solder is called 'tinning' because of the tin content of solder. Solder for electronics use contains tiny
cores of flux, like the wires inside a mains flex.
Flux:
When a metal is heated in free air, it is immediately affected by oxygen. A layer of oxide is formed over
the surface which is a hindrance during soldering. This layer of oxide can be removed using chemical
compounds called fluxes. They are deoxidizing agents and are used to keep the surface clean from
oxide, increase the fluidity of the solder and help the joints to adhere perfectly. The melting temperature
of the flux is always less than that of the solder used.

45
Soldering Techniques:
Soldering techniques can be broadly classified in two groups:
 Iron soldering or Manual soldering
 Mass soldering or Automatic soldering
Manual soldering requires solder iron, solder wire, flux and electronic components. Solder irons are
available in different temperature ranges, and available with ratings of 6 W, 12 W, 25 W, 35 W, 100 W,
150 W etc. Selection of the solder iron depends on the use.

Procedure:
Soldering:
1. Take one PCB, solder iron, solder wire and electronic components and give supply to
solder iron.
2. Observe the terminals of the components and PCB before making soldering whether any
oxidation removal required or not.
3. If required Clear the oxidized layer (i.e. Rust, green coatingon the conducting track) on the
component terminal and PCB layer either with filer rod or sand paper.
4. Attach small quantity of flux where to make joints.
5. Place the iron at the angle of 45 degree with the tip solder wire to melt where the
connection has to made. let the molten solder flow in and around the joints by supplying
required heat through iron.
6. When the solder has successfully flowed in the lead and track, take the solder away and
then remove the iron and allow it to cool.
7. Clean the pcb from flux and wastage with the help of IPA & cleaning brush.
8. Verify the continuity after making connection either by physical observation or by DMM.
9. Cut the extra length terminals by cutter if not necessary.

De-soldering: To remove a joint or re-position a wire or terminals of component.

There are two ways to remove the solder:

 With a de-soldering pump (solder sucker)

 With solder remover wick (copper braid)
With a de-soldering pump (solder sucker):

 Set the pump by pushing the spring-loaded plunger down until it locks.
 Apply both the pump nozzle and the tip of your soldering iron to the joint.
 Wait a second or two for the solder to melt.
 Then press the button on the pump to release the plunger and suck the molten solder into the
tool.
 Repeat if necessary to remove as much solder as possible.
 The pump will need emptying occasionally by unscrewing the nozzle.

46
With solder remover wick (copper braid):

 Apply both the end of the wick and the tip of your soldering iron to the joint.

 As the solder melts most of it will flow onto the wick, away from the joint.

 Remove the wick first, then the soldering iron.

 Cut off and discard the end of the wick coated with solder. After removing most of the solder
from the joint(s) we can remove the wire or component lead straight away (allow a few seconds
for it to cool). If the joint will not come apart easily apply your soldering iron to melt the
remaining traces of solder at the same time as pulling the joint apart.

Schematic Diagram:

Important points to remember:

1. Wear safety glasses
2. Handle the soldering iron carefully.
3. Know the location of the fire extinguisher and first aid kit before practice.
4. Prefer ventilated places for the practice.
5. Use dustbin for wastage after the soldering.
Precautions:
1. Avoid breathing flux fumes.
2. Avoid mishandling of the soldering iron.
3. Avoid heating the tracks for longer duration.
4. Avoid throwing the wastage on the ground.
5. Avoid placing the soldering iron outside the stand.

POTENTIOMETER INTERFACING WITH THE ARDUINO

Objective:
i. To understand Arduino Uno board Specification.
ii. To interface potentiometer(POT) with Arduino to measure angular displacement

Tools Required: Potentiometer with fixed protractor, DC Power Supply, Multimeter, Bread Board,
Arduino Uno board.
Principle: Potential Divider circuit

Sensor characteristics:
1. Connect three terminals of the calibrated potentiometer onto the bread board.
2. Measure the resistance between centre terminal to any one end terminal potentiometer for
different knob positions.
3. If the readings are proportional record them in the table.
4. If not take centre terminal to another end terminal of potentiometer and record them in the table.
5. Plot the graph Angle versus Resistance
6. Observe nature and find out the slope.
7. Slope is equal to the sensitivity when it is mentioned with unit.
Angle measurement:

Interfacing Potentiometer with Arduino

57
Procedure:
1. Connect the 3 terminals of Potentiometer to the Arduino board as per the circuit. i.e Middle/centre
terminal of Potentiometer to A0 in Arduino, 5V of Arduino to potentiometer one end terminal, and GND
of Arduino to another end terminal.
2. Open the Arduino console in the PC, and using the analogread() function read the potentiometer
signal.
3. Copy the following CODE and verify the CODE using VERIFY option on the MENU, once the code
gets verified without errors upload the CODE into the Arduino IC for processing.
4. When uploading is successful, go to TOOLs in MENU, open Serial Monitor to obtain the output of
the potentiometer.
5. Place the knob of potentiometer at different places and observe the readings for increasing angle
whether it showing increasing. If not interchange end terminals of the potentiometer.
6. Record the value shown on the protractor and monitor.
Write the following code in the Arduino console:

void setup() // Initializes serial port. Baudrate is set to 9600.

{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop( ) // The main loop which Arduino runs.
{
val = analogRead(A0); // Means A0 input. If you use A1,then analog Pin must be 1;
a=(val*5/1023);
Serial.print("The angular displacement in degrees is:"); //Sends the data to serial port.
Serial.print(a/5*300); // If the is 5v we need to show as maximum angle
Serial.println("\n");
//Serial.println(analogRead(A0)); // Reads A0 and gets signal from middle PIN of Potentiometer.
delay(2000);
}
