Week 10:Testing Prototype to get an end product

Objective:To analyse the final output of product.

After a few month through to build the mechanical prototype and ready with circuitry i had tested for twice to shred the raw plastic bottle with specific sizes.

Week 9:Voltage Regulator

Objective:To Study on how to regulate down the Voltage in to the PIC.

The LM7805 takes in a voltage between 7 and 30 volts and regulates it down to exactly 5 volts. The first capacitor takes out any ripple coming from the transformer so that the LM7805 is receiving a smooth input voltage, and the second capacitor acts as a load balancer to ensure consistent output from the LM7805.
