Welcome to YOUR Integrated ECT CAD/CAM using PICs Presentation
Evening
Part of Digital D&T Programme about
Embedding Electronics in CAD/CAM products.
So why did we take part in this project…..?
Supporting the initiative…….
"I think British design is important across the world. It's one of the things that makes Britain stand out around the world. I think that's incredibly important. It's part of our global identity." Ed Vaizey, October 2010
“There has to be a sense that manufacturing offers a good, attractive, career opportunity through skill training for school leavers and for graduates. Partly this is about capturing the imagination of what it will be like in the industries of the future. It is also about communicating that average salaries are comparable to those in the legal or financial services.”Vince Cable, January 2011

You are the face of the future of our subject – without your passion, you lobbying your SLT, your governors, your local press, your MP ………we are a dead subject
So why are we here…..?
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the session, course delegates will :-Have designed a rear bike light for a mountain bike (beginners) a SOS whistle with some LED features (advanced)
have designed a circuit board using PICs have an understanding of some of the features of CAD softwareDesign a CAD housing for the productProduced .stl files for 3D printing
Designing a PIC Designing a PIC based circuitbased circuit
We used the following algorithm for designing our project
PROCESS OUTPUTINPUT
Downloaded Program
FEEDBACK
Designed the Printed Circuit Board
Designed a CAD enclosure for the product ready for
3D printing
The Bike Light – Ian, Nicky & Les
The Bike Light – Ian, Nicky & Les PCB
Stuff
Worked hard to integrate small switches – all sorts of problems then changed design
You may find this link useful it will provide you with a viewer to look at .stl files

Ian will talk about the
CAD software
Over to you for your
presentations
SoS Whistle

So much to tell you here…….
I think I’ll best describe the
PCB
