Figure 1: Method of Engineering

Then, we specified the requirement of the project and developed some of preliminary design concept.
The preliminary design concept is evaluated to choose the best design before entering another phase
which is developing a prototype.
The fabrication of this project or prototype is divided into two main fabrication parts, namely
the hardware and software. The hardware is divided into two components which is electronic and
mechanical component.
Electronic components that been used in this project such as LCD screen, emergency stop
button, push start button, LED and buzzer is to created a prototype that user friendly where it is also
one of the project objectives. The another electronic parts is main parts are as in Table I below:

Main Electronic Parts
Electronic Part Description
I Arduino Uno R3 Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the
ATmega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of
which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog
inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a
power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button. Arduino is
known as a Physical or Embedded Computing platform,
which means that is an interactive system, that through the
use of software and hardware can interact with its
environment.
II. Cytron 10A Motor SHIELD MD10 is an Arduino shield for controlling high
Driver Shield (MD10) current brushed DC motor up to 10A continuously. The
main function of the driver is to control the speed of DC
motor and directional of motor rotation. Another feature of
Shield MD10 is support motor voltage ranges from 7V to
30V, maximum current up to 10A continuous and 15A
peak (10 seconds), 3.3V and 5V logic level input, sink is
required, stackable I/O header pin.
