Fastest Finger First objectify ReportAbstractIn the buzzer round of quiz contests, the forefront is thrown open to all the teams. The person who knows the answer hits the buzzer first and then answers the question. Some prison terms devil or more participants hit the buzzer to the highest degree synchronously and it is very difficult to key out which of them has pressed the buzzer first. In television shows, where the whole crimsont is recorded, the actions atomic number 18 replayed in s depleted motion to detect the first hit. Such slow motions atomic number 18 possible only where huge funds are available to conduct the show. For this reason buzzer rounds are avoided for quiz contests held in colleges.This project is an electronic quiz buzzer that is affordable by the colleges and even indivi sopranos. This project is useful for a 4-team quiz contest, although it pile be modified for more number of teams. This system is sensitive. The circuit preserve detect and record the first hit contestant among all the contestants that may appear to be simultaneous Buzzer applys for 4-team quizzes are readily available in the market. However, buzzer controller capable handling six or eight team are strenuous to find. The circuit presented here jackpot be apply for up to eight teams. It can be easily expanded to accommodated more teams through with(predicate) suitable cascading of latches and AND furnish on with transistors, relays, etc.In the buzzer round of any quiz contest question are thrown open to all the participating teams. separately team has a push button switch to ring the buzzer. After hearing the question any member of a team who knows the answer and hits in that location switch first gets a chance to answer. In multiple cases who hit the switch first gets the opportunity to reply. For next round the quiz master set the buzzer functioning circuit by pressing the reset switch. For visual indication all teams have the lamp fitted on thei r desk. The lamps glow until the reset of buzzer controller indicating the eligible team for replying the question. For audio indication the buzzer rings and turns discharge automatically after a few twinkling. The audio visual circuit is forcefulness through actuation of relay contacts. Here 230v AC has been used.BLOCK DIAGRAM run crosswise1CIRCUIT DIAGRAM cast2 word form2Working of Finger first indicatorFastest finger first indicators (FFFIs) are used to test the players reaction time. The players initiationated number is unwraped with an audio discouragement when the player presses his entry button. The circuit presented here determines as to which of the 8 contestants first pressed the button and locks out the remaining three entries. Simultaneously, an audio offend and the correct denary number display of the corresponding contestant are activated.When a contestant presses his switch, the corresponding fruit of latch IC1 (74373) changes its logic state from 1 to 0.The combinational circuitry comprising dual 4-input NAND gates of IC3 (7430) locks out subsequent entries by producing the appropriate latch-disable signal.Priority encoder IC2 (74147) encodes the active-low input condition into the corresponding binary coded decimal (BCD) number output.The outputs of IC4 after inversion by inverter gates inside hex inverter74LS04 (IC5) are coupled to BCDto-7-segment decoder/display driver IC6 (7447).The output of IC6 drives common anode 7-segment LED display (DIS.1, FND507 or LT543).The audio alarm generator comprises clock oscillator (555), whose output drives a loudspeaker. The oscillator frequency can be varied with the help ofPreset VR1. Logic 0 state at matchless of the outputs of IC2 produces logic 1 input condition at pin down 4 of 555, thereby enabling the audio oscillator.555 needs +12V DC supply for sufficient alarm level.The remaining circuit molds on regulated +5V DC supply, which is obtained victimization (7805).Once the organiser ident ifies the contestant who pressed the switch first, he disables the audio alarm and at the same(p) time forces the digital display to 0 by pressing reset pushbutton S9PCB FABRICATIONPCB Designing is an important part of the project development, complexity size the PCB for our Project Buzzer Controller For 8-Team Quiz Contests is do by Photo chemical process on copper clad base solids the following steps are involved in Fabrication.Layout designing1.

IC7447Figure208 .TransformerFigure21Laminated steel heart and soulTransformers for use at baron or audio frequencies typically have cores made of high Permeability (electromagnetism) permeabilitysilicon steel.permeability many times that of free space, and the core thus serves to greatly reduce the magnetizing current, and confine the flux to a path which closely couples the windings.Early transformer developers soon realized that cores constructed from solid iron resulted in prohibitive eddy-current losses, and their designs mitigated this effect with cores consisting of bundles of insulated iron wires. Later designs constructed the core by stacking la yers of thin steel laminations, a principle that has remained in use. Each lamination is insulated from its neighbors by a thin non-conducting layer of insulation.indicates a minimum cross-sectional area for the core to avoid saturation.The effect of laminations is to confine eddy currents to highly elliptical paths that enclose little flux, and so reduce their magnitude. Thinner laminations reduce losses, Thin laminations are for the most part used on high frequency transformers, with some types of very thin steel laminations able to operate up to 10kHz.One common design of laminated core is made from interleaved stacks of pieces, leading to its name of E-I transformer.Such a design tends to exhibit more losses, but is very economical to manufacture. The cut-core or C-core type is made by winding a steel strip around a rectangular form and then bonding the layers together. It is then cut in two, forming two C shapes, and the core assembled by binding the two C halves together with a steel strap. They have the advantage that the flux is always oriented jibe to the metal grains, reducing reluctance.A steel cores means that it retains a static magnetic field when power is removed. When power is then reapplied, the residual field lead cause a high until the effect of the remaining magnetism is reduced, usually after a few cycles of the applied alternating current. Over current security department devices such as must be selected to acknowledge this harmless inrush to pass. On transformers attached to long, overhead power transmission lines, induced currents due to during can cause saturation of the core and operation of transformer protection devices.The transformer converts the 220 V AC into 9 V AC. The Bridge wave rectifier converts the ( V AC into cockle DC. This rippled DC is given as input to the 7805/7809 Voltage regulator IC. A separate power supply is given for the Stepper Motor which has the same power supply setup for converting the 220 V AC into 9V DC.The DC Power Supply circuit is based around the 7805 potential difference regulator. It has only 3 connections (input, output and ground) and it provides a repair output. The last two digits of the part number specify the output electromotive force, eg. 05, 06, 08, 10, 12, 15, 18, or 24. The 7800 series provides up to 1 amp load current and has on-chip circuitry to unsympathetic down the regulator if any attempt is made to operate it outside its safe operating area. (If this happens to you, let the chip cool down attach the heatsink.) It can be seen that there are in fact two separate circuits in this power supply. One 7805 is directly committed as a fixed 5V regulator. The second 7805 has a resistor divider network on the output. A variable 500 ohm potentiometer is used to vary the output potential nightfall from a minimum of 5V up to the maximum DC emf depending on the input potentiality. It will be about 2V on a lower floor the input DC voltage.)The capacitor acro ss the output improves transient response. The large capacitor across the input is a dawn capacitor to help smooth out ripple in the rectify AC voltage. The big the filter capacitor the lower the rippleIC-7805One can get a constant high-voltage power supply using inexpensive 3-terminal voltage regulators through some simple techniques described below. Depending upon the current requirement, a reasonable load ordination can be achieved. Line regulation in all cases is equal to that of the voltage regulator used.Though high voltage can be obtained with suitable voltage boost circuitry using ICs like LM 723, some advantages of the circuits presented below are simplicity, low cost, and practically reasonable regulation characteristics. For currents of the order of 1A or less, only one zener and some resistors and capacitors are needed. For high currents, one pass transistor such as ECP055 is needed.Before developing the final circuits, let us first at a lower placestand the 3-termin al type constant voltage regulators. Let us see the schematic in Fig. where 78XX is a 3-terminal voltage regulator.Schematic for obtaining low-voltage regulated output using 3-terminalFigure22voltage regulators.Rectified and filtered unregulated voltage is applied at VIN and a constant voltage appears between pins 2 and 2 of the voltage regulator. *The distribution of two currents in the circuit (IBIAS and ILOAD) is as shown.It is highly recommended to use the two capacitors as shown. Electrically regulator will be at a distance from the rectifier supply. Thus, a atomic number 73 grade capacitor of 5mf and rated voltage is good. Electrolytic capacitor is not suitable for it is poor in response to load transients, which have high frequency components.At the output side a 0.22mf disc ceramic capacitor is useful to eliminate spurious oscillations, which the regulator might break into because of its internal high gain circuitry.Figure23These voltage regulators have a typical bias curren t of 5 mA, which is reasonably constant. By inserting a small resistor Rx between pin 2 and ground, the output voltage in many cases. By this method voltage increment of 5 to 10 per cent is practically feasible. However, if a high- order granting immunity is used to obtain a higher output voltage, a slight variation in bias current will result in full(a) variation of the output voltage.8. BC547 TransistorIn electronics, a transistor is a semiconductor device commonly used to amplify or switch electronic signals. A transistor is made of a solid piece of a semiconductor material, with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistors terminals changes the current flowing through an separate pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be much larger than the controlling (input) power, the transistor provides amplification of a signal. The transistor is the fundamental building block of modern e lectronic devices, and is used in radio, telephone, computer and other electronic systems. Some transistors are packaged individually but most are found in integrated circuits.Figure24Features NPN Silicon Epitaxial Planar Transistors These transistors are subdivided into three groupsA, B, and C according to their current gain. The type BC546 is available in groups A and B,n however, the types BC547 and BC548 can be supplied in all three groups. As antonymoustypes the PNP transistors BC556BC558 are recommended. On special request, these transistors are also manufactured in the pin configuration TO-18.Mechanical DataCase TO-92 Plastic Package free weight approx. 0.18gPackaging Codes/OptionsE6/Bulk 5K per container, 20K/boxE7/4K per Ammo mag., 20K/boxFigure259.Ceramic capacitorThese are the disk-type ceramic capacitors. Because the high frequency characteristic is good, these are used as the coupling capacitors (It cuts the direct current but it lets through the alternating current.F igure2610.Electrolytic CapacitorThis capacitor is used as the ripple filter capacitor of the power circuit.There is polarity. So, be careful so as not to make a mistake when mounting it.Figure27Electrolyte CapacitorFigure28Metallised Polyester Film CapacitorsWith tolerance of 10%.Operating temperature -40oC to +85oC.Compact SizeNon Inductive Design11.RESISTANCEResistance is the opposition of a material to the current. It is mensurable in Ohms (-). All conductors represent a certain amount of resistance, since no conductor is 100% efficient. To control the electron flow (current) in a predictable manner, we use resistors. Electronic circuits use calibrated lumped resistance to control the flow of current. Broadly speaking, resistor can be divided into two groups viz. fixed adjustable (variable) resistors. In fixed resistors, the value is fixed cannot be varied. In variable resistors, the resistance value can be varied by an adjuste thickener. It can be divided into (a) Carbon compo sition (b) Wire wound (c) Special type. The most common type of resistors used in our projects is carbon type. The resistance value is frequently indicated by colour bands. Each resistance has four colours, one of the band on either side will be gold or silver, this is called fourth band and indicates the tolerance, others three band will give the value of resistance (see table). For example if a resistor has the following marking on it label red, violet, gold. Comparing these coloured rings with the colour code, its value is 27000 ohms or 27 kilo ohms and its tolerance is 5%. Resistor comes in various sizes (Power rating). The bigger, the size, the more power rating of 1/4 watts. The four colour rings on its body tells us the value of resistor value as given below. colours CODEBlack 0Brown 1Red 2Orange 3Yellow 4Green 5Blue 6Violet 7Grey 8White 9Figure29The first rings give the first digit. The second ring gives the second digit. The third ring indicates the number of zeroes to be placed after the digits. The fourth ring gives tolerance (gold 5%, silver 10%, No colour 20%).In variable resistors, we have the dial type of resistance boxes. There is a knob with a metal pointer. This presses over brass pieces placed along a circle with some space b/w each of them.Resistance coils of different values are connected b/w the gaps. When the knob is rotated, the pointer also moves over the brass pieces. If a gap is skipped over, its resistance is include in the circuit. If two gaps are skipped over, the resistances of both together are included in the circuit and so on.12.The 555 TIMERDescriptionThe LM555/NE555/SA555 is a highly stable controller capable of producing accurate timing pulses. With a monostable operation, the time crack is controlled by one external resistor and one capacitor. With an astable operation, the frequency and duty cycle are accurately controlled by two external resistors and one capacitor.Figure30Features High Current Drive Capability (200 mA) Adjustable Duty Cycle Temperature Stability of 0.005%/C Timing FromSec to Hours Turn off magazine Less Than 2SecApplications Precision Timing Pulse Generation fourth dimension Delay Generation Sequential TimingPin Description of 555 timepieceFigure31Power supplyPin 8 is used to connect the positive power supply (Vs) to the 555. This can be any voltage between 3V and 15V DC, but is commonly 5V DC when working with digital ICs. Pin 1 is the 0V connection to the power supply.Trigger and Reset InputsPin 2 is called the trip off input as it is this input that sets the output to the high state. Pin 4 is called the reset input as it is this input that resets the o/p to the low state. twain pins may be connected to push buttons to control the operation of the 555.Sometimes the reset input is not used in a circuit, in which case it is connected directly to Vs to that unwanted resetting cant occur.Threshold and evokePins 6 and7 (and sometimes the Trigger i/p, pin2) are used to set u p the timing view of the 555 IC. They are normally connected to a combination of resistors and a capacitor.OffsetPin 5 can be used to alter the timing looking of the 555 IC in applications such as frequency modulation.OutputPin 3 is the digital output of the 555.It can be connected directly to the inputs of other digitaICs, or it can control other devicesFigure32When the low signal input is applied to the reset terminal, the timer output remains low regardless of the threshold voltage or the touch off voltage. Only when the high signal is applied to the reset terminal, the timers output changes according to threshold voltage and trigger voltage. When the threshold voltage exceeds 2/3 of the supply voltage while the timer output is high, the timers internal discharge Tr. turns on, lowering the threshold voltage to below 1/3 of the supply voltage. During this time, the timer output is maintained low. Later, if a low signal is applied to the trigger voltage so that it catchs 1/3 of the supply voltage, the timers internal discharge Tr. turns off, increasing the threshold voltage and driving the timer output again at high.Fig 33 Monostable OperationFigure34Figure 34. illustrates a monostable circuit. In this mode, the timer generates a fixed pulse whenever the trigger voltage falls below Vcc/3. When the trigger pulse voltage applied to the 2 pin falls below Vcc/3 while the timer output is low, the timers internal flip-flop turns the discharging Tr. off and causes the timer output to become high by charging the external capacitor C1 and setting the flip-flop output at the same time. The voltage across the external capacitor C1, VC1 increases exponentially with the time constant t=RA*C and occures 2Vcc/3 at td=1.1RA*C. Hence, capacitor C1 is charged through resistor RA. The greater the time constant RAC, the longer it takes for the VC1 to reach 2Vcc/3. In other words, the time constant RAC controls the output pulse width. When the applied voltage to the capacito r C1 reaches 2Vcc/3, the comparator on the trigger terminal resets the flip-flop, turning the discharging Tr. on. At this time, C1 begins to discharge and the timer output converts to low. In this way, the timer operating in the monostablerepeats the above process. Figure 10 shows the general waveforms during the monostable operation. It must be noted that, for a normal operation, the trigger pulse voltage needs to maintain a minimum of Vcc/3 before the timer output turns low. That is, although the output remains unaffected even if a different trigger pulse is applied while the output is high, it may be affected and the waveform does not operate properly if the trigger pulse voltage at the end of the output pulse remains at below Vcc/3Fig 35 Astable operationAn astable timer operation is achieved by adding resistor RB to Figure 1 and configuring as shown on Figure 5. In the astable operation, the trigger terminal and the threshold terminal are connected so that a self-trigger is for med, operating as a multi vibrator. When the timer output is high, its internal discharging Tr. turns off and the VC1 increases by exponential function with the time constant (RA+RB)*C.When the VC1, or the threshold voltage, reaches 2Vcc/3, the comparator output on the trigger terminal becomes high, resetting the F/F and causing the timer output to become low. This in turn turns on the discharging Tr. and the C1 discharges through the discharging channel formed by RB and the discharging Tr. When the VC1 falls below Vcc/3, the comparator output on the trigger terminal becomes high and the timer output becomes high again. The discharging Tr. turns off and the VC1 rises again. In the above process, the section where the timer output is high is the time it takes for the VC1 to rise from Vcc/3 to 2Vcc/3, and the section where the timer output is low is the time it takes for the VC1 to drop from 2Vcc/3 to Vcc/3. When timer output is high, the equivalent circuit for charging capacitor C1 i s as followsFig 36 Astable operation Waveform12.diodeThe simplest semiconductor device is made up of a sandwich of P-type semiconducting material, with contacts provided to connect the p-and n-type layers to an external circuit. This is a junction diode. If the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the p-type material (cathode) and the negative terminal to the N-type material (Anode), a large current will flow. This is called forward current or forward biased.If the connections are reversed, a very little current will flow. This is because under this condition, the p-type material will accept the electrons from the negative terminal of the battery and the N-type material will give up its free electrons to the battery, resulting in the state of electrical equalizer since the N-type material has no more electrons. Thus there will be a small current to flow and the diode is called Reverse biased.Thus the Diode allows direct current to pass only in one direction while blocki ng it in the other direction. Power diodes are used in concerting AC into DC. In this, current will flow freely during the first half(a) cycle (forward biased) and practically not at all during the other half cycle (reverse biased). This makes the diode an effective rectifier, which convert ac into pulsating dc. Signal diodes are used in radio circuits for detection. Zener diodes are used in the circuit to control the voltage.Figure37Some common diodes are-1. Zener diode.2. Photo diode.3. Light Emitting diode.ZENER DIODE-A zener diode is specially designed junction diode, which can operate continuously without being damaged in the region of reverse break down voltage. One of the most important applications of zener diode is the design of constant voltage power supply. The zener diode is joined in reverse bias to d.c. through a resistance R of suitable value.PHOTO DIODE-A photo diode is a junction diode made from photo- sensitive semiconductor or material. In such a diode, there is a provision to allow the light of suitable frequency to fall on the p-n junction. It is reverse biased, but the voltage applied is less than the break down voltage. As the intensity of consequent light is increased, current goes on increasing till it becomes maximum. The maximum current is called saturation current.LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED)-When a junction diode is forward biased, expertness is released at the junction diode is forward biased, energy is released at the junction due to recombination of electrons and holes. In case of silicon and germanium diodes, the energy released is in infrared emission region. In the junction diode made of gallium arsenate or indium phosphide, the energy is released in visible region. Such a junction diode is called a light emitting diode or LED.LIST OF INSRUMENTS TOOLSTOOLSSoldering IronTweezersScrew DriverCutterDe Soldering PumpINSTRUMENTSDigital MultimeterOTHER MATERIALSSolder hangDe Soldering WickSoldering Iron StandImage of projectFigure3 8Applications1.Electronic Jam Is Commonly Used In Quiz ContestsFigure392.Finger First Is The Basic Principle3.It Adds Beauty To Active Quiz Shows Contains ManyBuzzer Rounds4.Inputs Can Be Handle At A TimeFigure405.Uses Seven Segment Display Instead of LED/bulbFor Visual Interface6.This Electronic Jam Is Built With The View Of doThe Game Show Priority LessAdvantagesHandy deviceLow power consumptionMore accurateEasy to useVisual user interface adds its advantageDisadvantagesInput is limited to eight.Future scopeInstead of Seven Segment display LCDscreens can be implementedPriority attend of all inputs can be imparted inOutputConclusionProject Aims the Implemenatation of Electonic Jam for making Quiz shows priority LessSeven Segment display included for more User nterfaceCost of ProjectS.No.ComponentQuantityCost1.IC743731602.IC 5551303.IC 74301604.IC 74471355.IC 741471656.IC74001247.IC74041208.Transistor139.Diode2410.7 segment display12011.Transformer14012.Ceramic Capacitor2413.Elec trolytic Capacitors1514.Resistor184015.PCB designing60016.Misc(Solder wire, connecting wire, Connectors etc)200Total1210
