Sports Ball sorter
Project awarded by: Mr.Eric , USA
Description: I undertook a project for a sports company where the client provided me with the schematics for the desired product. Using the easyEDA tool, I designed the PCB layout based on the provided schematics. The main components of the PCB included an AVR microcontroller (ATmega328P), boost converters, and a USB to TTL converter.
After the PCB design was finalized, I assisted the client in placing an order with JLCPCB, a reliable PCB manufacturing service. This involved helping the client select the appropriate specifications for the PCB, such as board size, material, and copper thickness, to meet their specific requirements.
Once the manufactured PCBs were received, the client sent them to my location for the bring-up process. During the bring-up phase, I carefully assembled the components onto the PCB and ensured all connections were made correctly. I then powered on the product and conducted thorough testing to verify its functionality.
The AVR microcontroller (ATmega328P) served as the main brain of the product, controlling various functions. The boost converters were responsible for stepping up the voltage to the required levels, while the USB to TTL converter facilitated communication between the product and external devices.
Throughout the project, I maintained regular communication with the client, addressing any queries or concerns they had. I provided technical expertise and support, ensuring that the PCB design, manufacturing, and bring-up processes were executed smoothly and efficiently.
In conclusion, my role in this sports company project involved designing the PCB using easyEDA, assisting with the ordering process on JLCPCB, and conducting the bring-up and testing phase after receiving the manufactured PCBs. The incorporation of the AVR microcontroller, boost converters, and USB to TTL converter resulted in a functional and reliable product for the client's specific needs.
