Design and implementation of an intelligent electronic project simulator board

Abstract

The increasing demand for a versatile electronic project board led to the creation of an innovative solution by a dedicated team. This device was meticulously designed to serve the needs of educational institutions, students, and electronics enthusiasts. The existing challenge in this field was the absence of a comprehensive project board capable of supporting complex circuit simulations. Traditional setups lacked crucial features like power supplies, waveform generation, and digital tools, limiting the effectiveness of electronic circuit exploration. The study aimed to address these limitations by developing an electronic project board with an 18W audio amplifier, a versatile function generator, and robust AC and DC power supplies with short circuit protection. Additionally, it incorporated a solderless breadboard, digital oscilloscope, and Arduino Uno board, expanding its utility to Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The board's design included key components such as the LM386 low-power audio amplifier IC, the TL082 dual JFET input operational amplifier, linear voltage regulators, resistors, diodes, capacitors, jack plugs, flexible cables, and a well-connected breadboard. The resulting project board successfully met the specifications, offering a comprehensive solution for electronic circuit simulation. Its adaptability, safety features, and IoT compatibility make it invaluable for both educational and domestic use. In conclusion, this newly developed electronic project board fills a critical gap in electronics experimentation and education. It is recommended for tertiary institutions and students' personal projects, providing a versatile tool for circuit design exploration. Future enhancements could further extend its utility in various applications.
