This weekly report summarizes the progress of a student group working on a remote control product. In the past week, the group redesigned the shape of the remote requiring a new printed circuit board and the addition of a 7-segment display. Testing of the transmitter, receiver, and display circuitry was performed. The remaining work is to move the circuit components from the breadboard to the printed circuit board. The small size of the printed circuit board is noted as a strength while unstable switches are listed as a weakness to address in the coming week along with completing the project.

Weekly Progress
This week, we are change a shape of remote then I have to design new PCB and add 7 segment
build in. Actually that’s not a big deal for my group but that is a money. I still do something else
also, fix PCB, make a wiring connection, try to connect circuit together and test a process about
transmitter, receiver, display 7 segment. So, now everything in remote transmitter almost finish
remainning just try to move a device from bread board and put it on a PCB. That’s all we want to
do.

Engineering Analysis
Strong Point
PCB is very small.
Week Point
Switch that’s unstable.
