This video is for my Year 10 GCSE Electronics students. Quick links below...
2:05 Statement of the problem
2:20 Design brief
2:30 Design specification
3:40 System block diagram
4:40 (the finished circuit)
5:40 Light sensing subsystem
7:12 Reference voltage subsystem
7:55 Voltage comparator subsystem
9:12 Test switch subsystem
9:34 Logical OR subsystem
9:45 Astable timer
10:40 Using oscilloscope to measure astable frequency and amplitude
12:05 Output transducer (LED) subsystem
13:17 Final circuit diagram
13:24 Component list
13:58 Physical circuit
14:22 User guide
14:38 Final evaluation
We have a detailed look at my example report to give you ideas and inspiration for what you could include in your own electronics project. Please note this is NOT a template and does not form part of the GCSE coursework for any student. All students have been building the same practice project this term and hopefully developing the skills, confidence and experience to work independently next year.
Don't forget to check the mark scheme to make sure that your project gets top marks. My example project may be incomplete and has not been thoroughly checked.
