Our task for the week was to make a injector circuit , we had to calculate and choose our resistors and what transisitor to use. Then we also had to put it onto a bread board and test it to see if it will work. We also had to design our board on a program called loch master and place our components and see if it will work before we start making it.
Components :
Power Supply
2x 500Ω Resistors , 2x 440Ω Resistors i had to change them to a 470Ω Resistor because that was the closet we had.
2x BC547 Transistors
2x Led's , I chose one Green LED and one Yellow LED but values were the same of 1.8v
Wires
Calculations:
It was really simple after you had all your figures and formulas.
LED = 1.7 V
Transistor BC 547
,Vce = 0.6 V/45mA , Vbe = 0.6 V/6mA , : Ic = 100 mA
Beta = 100
To find out what resistor i was going to use for R14 & R15 i calculated 10v/0.02 which was 500 , so now i round it of and used a 470 resistor which was close to my calculation
So we have a 12v power supply which will go to the 2 470Ω resistors in parallel , now we are left with 10volts going to the leds.
Suppy Voltage - LED - Transistor = Available voltage
12v-1.8-0.2=10v
Now we have voltage going through to the transistor from the collector, and 5 volts from the base.
NPN BC547 Datasheet
SYMBOL | PARAMETER | CONDITION | MIN. | TYP. | MAX. | UNIT |
VBEsat | base-emitter saturation voltage | IC = 10 mA; IB = 0.5 mA; note 1 IC = 100 mA; IB = 5 mA; note 1 | 700 900 | mV mV |
A Technical Explanation :
We have voltage going to the LEDs, 5v supply from PWM0-1 & 5v coming from PWM1-1 to switch the LED's on and off
The LEDs show that the circuit is working , and as we increase the frequecny/ RPM the lights start to flash faster. The LED's show the injectors opening and closing .
Problems:
Luckly i never had any problems and finished my circuit on time but if there was a fault i could pick it up easily using a multimeter by test each component. If it has no reading then we will need to see if there is a bad connection or that the component will need to be replaced
Reflection:
If i had a opportunity to do this circuit again , id try get the LED's different colour like red and blue so it will grab attention and will look cool. I would also try and improve it by making it more simply and neater.Buildaing this circuit should me how a transistor works and the different things it can do
Here is my Circuit on the bread Board |
Tested the Circuit and it worked :) so now i can start designing my board on loch master |
This Video show the Injector circuit working on the bread board. As i turn up the Frequency/ Rpm the LED's flash faster
My Circuit design on loch master |
This is a video showing the injector circuit working as we turn up the Frequency/ RPM the LED's will flash faster.This shows when you Rev higher the injectors will open faster and at idle the LED's will blink slower
Here Is my Circuit Finished |
My Soldering Skills , Nice and shinny |
Much better than your previous blog, but could do with more technical explanation and thoery
