Creating a model

It is important to create a model or prototype so people are see more clearly about the project.

With a little help from my friends, we succeed to create a model for my project.

Taufiq and Syamil are helping in drilling part to make a model for this project



Im using a white hardboard to make a model for this project. This hardboard is using so that it will be more neat and organized especially for the PIC circuits and the wires that connected to the PIC. For the LCD screen, Push buttons, keypad and LED light are nicely drill to make holes so it can be fit in by using a screw to lock it.


Inside of the hardboard that nicely fit


Below is the model that will be present during the industrial day. It shows that there are some of the component that can be seen. 

1. ON/OFF button
2. keypad to key-in budget plan
3. LCD screen 20x4
4. Push Buttons for add item, minus item and reset mode
5. LED light to shows the push buttons are function.

For the RFID Reader, it is hidden or behind the hardboard, it is to show that RFID Reader can be scan without line-of-sight as barcode reader. The blue light shows the RFID Reader is function. 



When the project is ON


Model fit inside the "trolley"



Head of the lorry have been removed

The picture below shows that the model of my project have been replaced at the head of the lorry to become a proper prototype to my project. So we can see that this model already done to become a smart planning budget with a "trolley".
