Week 5

PCB board issues

Key issues & findings:

  • Unfortunately, when we received our PCB board, we are unable to use them immediately.
    • From Fig 1, we noticed that due to some metal connections on the bottom of our relay module, we cannot directly connect it onto our PCB board.
    • From Fig 2, we noticed that the relay module we are using now is also too big for the to connect it using the ‘through-holes’ of our PCB

Housing for fish tank

 

Acrylic to place Clean & Waste water tank

Key findings & issues:

  • We designed a 380 x 260 mm acrylic house with 2 levels.
    • On the top level, we will be placing the Clean & Waste water tank. This is done to place the water level of the waste tank over the 80% water level of the fish tank and prevent the ‘siphon-effect’
    • On the bottom level, we will be placing the electronic components to prevent them from being exposed to water and risk them being damaged.
