  • Altium Designer 14
    Altium Designer 14 Altium Designer is the industry’s only electronics design system with a native 3D PCB engine backed by a unified design data model. Designers are presented with a complete and holistic picture of their electronics design, with real-time supply chain information, design costs and cost targets, live electrical and drafting rules checking, real-time PCB design constraint reporting and real-time views of the circuit board in 3D. Excellent visibility into the complete data model give the designer all the information needed to make good design decisions, on time. The design is synchronized between different domains. Schematics are tightly synchronized with the state of the PCB, FPGA pins. Signal definitions are synchronized with nets on the board, memory and port allocations in the embedded software platform can be synchronized to the hardware design. Board Design Altium Designer combines design capture, PCB layout, FPGA design, embedded software development and manufacturing files support in one unified application. Its single design database eliminates data translation and synchronization issues. Flexible library management including support for database and Vault driven libraries. Full hierarchical and multi-channel design entry with design reuse, and variant support. Logical and graphical comparison of different revisions in both schematic and PCB. Spice 3f5 compatible mixed signal simulation with support for popular pSpice extensions. pre- and post-layout signal integrity analysis. Advanced interactive routing incl. differential pair support, length tuning, impedance controlled routing. Native 3D Board Design with real time 3D collision check. Full 3D support for rigid-flex designs and automated linking and updating to, and from, mechanical CAD models.

  • Intro to PCB-Design-Tutorial
    Intro to PCB Design Objectives In this tutorial we’ll design a printed circuit board (PCB) in Eagle. This PCB will be an Arduino shield - a board that sandwiches with an Arduino microcontroller to provide extra functionality. The PCB will have a collection of LEDs on it that can be controlled from the arduino. ● Get familiar with the process and vocabulary of PCB design ● Learn how to use Eagle ● Lay a foundation that you can build off of to do more complex PCB design in the future You can learn more about Arduino shields here: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/arduino-shields/all ​ Questions? Email: [email protected] or [email protected] ​ ​ ​ Getting Started There are many different PCB design softwares, such as the following: ● Eagle ● Altium ● Cadence ● KiCAD ● CircuitMaker Eagle, KiCAD, and CircuitMaker have free versions. Altium and Cadence are both really powerful and customizable, but this makes them more difficult to learn on. The free version of Eagle is pretty user friendly and straightforward to learn on and provides the functionality we need for the workshop, so that’s what we’re going to use. 1. Download Eagle from the autodesk website: https://www.autodesk.com/products/eagle/free-download ​ 2. After you download it, either create an Autodesk account or sign in with yours. After this is complete, Eagle will open in the Control Panel view. The Control Panel is your home base in Eagle. This is where you can create and access your projects and libraries. Libraries are files that contain part descriptions: what is the symbol that represents the part and what does the part’s physical footprint need to look like.

CAPSTONE PROJECT Capstone Project submitted to the Department of Engineering, Ashesi University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering. Mac-Noble Brako-Kusi 2019 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this capstone is the result of my own original work and that no part of it has been presented for another degree in this university or elsewhere. Candidate’s Signature: …………………………………………………………………………………………… Candidate’s Name: …………………………………………………………………………………………… Date: …………………………………………………………………………………………… I hereby declare that preparation and presentation of this capstone were supervised in accordance with the guidelines on supervision of capstone laid down by Ashesi University College. Supervisor’s Signature: …………………………………………………………………………………………… Supervisor’s Name: …………………………………………………………………………………………… Date: …………………………………………………………………………………………… i Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Robert Sowah, for his immense support and input. I would also like to thank the faculty of engineering for the tools provided, that made the execution of this project possible. ii Abstract The modern-day automobile is no longer just an analog and mechanical entity. Currently, the most basic of vehicular functions have been computerized. The dedicated hardware assigned to these tasks are electronic control units (ECU). Automobiles consist of a number of ECUs networked together to ensure proper functioning of the vehicle. The overall safety of the vehicle relies on real-time communication between the ECUs. Intra-vehicular communication is possible because of the Controller Area Network (CAN). ECUs are responsible for detecting skids, performing anti-lock braking and providing vehicle diagnostic information.
