Nowadays using programming pods are commonly accepted and widely used in manufacturing, especially when a new product is introduced and the firmware is in the early development stages. After the completion of all visual and structure tests, the board is ready for full functional test. The in-circuit test station is the best point for programming a

n electronic board for the following reasons: In a recent project, a customer asked to program a panelized board. Each board has two different programmable devices. Our approach was to use two programming pods (P&E Micro Cyclone Pro programming adapter) with multiplexers. This project presented all four of the difficulties listed above. In order to overcome the panelized board issue, we decided to use two multiplexer boards which were being controlled through the in-circuit test program. Since there were six boards in each panel, each multiplexer was responsible for programming three boards. Cyclone Pro programmers are very easy to use. As soon as the firmware is loaded, the user only needs to press the START button and monitor SUCCESS and ERROR LEDs. In order to automate the process, we decided to wire the above mentioned control lines (START button, SUCCESS and ERROR LEDs) to the ICT machine, so controlling the process would be through the ICT program and the operator will have no intervention. After sending START command, the test program monitors two LEDs for the result. If SUCCESS LED turns on, the test program will send a Programming PASS message to the screen, otherwise the result is a fail and the screen will show Programming FAIL . In order to be able to upload the latest firmware into the programming pods, the test fixture incorporated 2 USB connectors, each of which was connected to one of the...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
