hardware-prerequisite.jpg
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Connect''' SMPS''' and '''USBasp''' to the '''Mainboard''' as shown in the picture.

Keep these connections throughout this tutorial.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Open LDmicro
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Now let us open '''LDmicro'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click ‘Instructions -> Insert Coil’
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Insert a '''Coil''' from '''Instructions'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Rename the coil as LED. Click the OK button.
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Rename the''' Coil''' as '''LED '''as shown.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Place the cursor to the left of the coil

Click ‘Instruction -> Insert Contact’
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Place the cursor to the left of the '''Coil'''.

Insert a '''Contact''' from Instructions.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Double-click on the contact
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Double-click on the '''Contact'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| A dialogue box opens.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Highlight Negated

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| We can find a check-box called ‘'''Negated'''’ just below the name box.

If it is checked then the Contact is a '''Negated Contact'''.

If it is unchecked then the Contact is a '''Normal Contact.'''

'''Normal Contact''' will pass the signal when its state is logic 1.

Thus, we have two types of Contacts.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Highlight Source column
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| These Contacts have three source types which are '''Internal Relay, Input pin, '''and''' Output pin'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Highlight unchecked Negated box

Highlight Input pin
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| By default, '''Negated''' is unchecked with source as ‘'''Input pin'''’.

‘'''Input pin'''’ represents that Contact reads an input pin of the microcontroller.

Don't change them.

Keep the default settings as it is.
|-

|-

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| We will learn about other types of '''Contact''' and sources in the later tutorials.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Rename it as ‘switch’ >> Click OK button
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Rename the Contact as ‘'''switch'''’ and click the OK button.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Now we will check the working of this logic.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click ‘Simulate -> Simulation mode’ >> Click ‘Simulate -> Real-time simulation’
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Let us turn on the simulation mode.

For that, click '''Simulate''' and then on '''Simulation mode.'''

Next, start real-time simulation as shown.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Highlight state of Xswitch and YLED
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Observe the state of '''Xswitch''' and '''YLED''' in the '''I/O list'''.

Initially, the state of '''Xswitch''' and '''YLED''' are 0.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Double-click on Xswitch
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| The input to the '''Xswitch''' is logic 1 as it is connected to positive rail.

Change the state of '''Xswitch''' to 1 by double clicking on it.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Highlight state of YLED
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| We can observe that the state of the '''YLED''' has changed to 1.

That means input to '''YLED''' is logic 1.

This in turn indicates that output of '''Xswitch''' is logic 1.

Thus, when the state of a '''Normal Contact''' is 1, it passes the signal through it.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click Simulate -> Halt Simulation >> Click Simulate -> Simulation Mode
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Now, turn off the simulation mode.

For that, click '''Simulate''' and then on '''Halt Simulation.'''

Then click '''Simulate''' and '''Simulation Mode'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Now let us compile the logic.

The detailed steps on how to compile and save the logic are explained in the earlier tutorials.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on Settings >> Click on Microcontroller >> Select AVR ATmega16 40-PDIP

Click on Settings >> Click on MCU parameters >> Change Crystal frequency to 16 >>Click OK button
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on '''Settings''' and select microcontroller '''AVR ATmega16 40-PDIP.'''

Adjust its parameters as shown here.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Double-click on Xswitch in I/O list >> Select PC0 >> Click OK button
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Assign '''pin''' '''PA0''' to the Coil '''YLED'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Double-click on YLED in I/O list >> Select PA0 >> Click OK button
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Then assign the '''pin PC0''' to '''Xswitch'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on Compile >> Click on Compile as >> Go to Desktop/LDmicro folder >> rename it as ‘normalcontact.hex’ >> Click on Save.

Click OK button
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Compile it as ‘'''normalcontact.hex'''’.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on File >> Click on Save As >> Go to Desktop/LDmicro folder>> Rename it as ‘normalcontact.ld’ >> Click on Save
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Then save the ladder diagram as ‘'''normalcontact.ld'''’.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Now we will see the working of this logic on hardware.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Connect Mainboard to PC using USBasp

laptop-usbasp.jpg

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Connect the '''Mainboard''' to your laptop using '''USBasp'''.

Turn on the power supply.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Go to terminal >> type '''avrdude -c usbasp -p m16 -U flash:w:normalcontact.hex '''>> Press ENTER
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Open the Terminal by pressing '''CTRL+ALT+T''' keys simultaneously.

Go to the folder where you have saved the hex file.

Type the command as shown and upload this hex file to the '''Mainboard'''.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Remove the '''USBasp''' connection from the laptop.
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Turn off the power supply.

Remove the '''USBasp''' connection from the laptop.

This will prevent any hardware damage.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| normalcontact-NO.png
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Let us see the connection details now.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| normalcontact-NO.png
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Connect '''GND''' and 5V of the '''Switchboard''' to '''GND''' and 5V of the '''Mainboard''' respectively.

Then connect '''NO1''' of the '''Switchboard''' to '''PC0''' of the '''Mainboard.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| normalcontact-NO.png
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Connect '''GND pin''' of the red LED of '''Traffic Light module''' to '''GND''' pin of the '''Mainboard'''.

Then connect the +5V pin of the red LED to '''PA0 pin''' of the '''Mainboard'''.

Make the connections as shown in the picture.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| After making all the connections properly, turn on the power supply.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| We can observe the red LED is off initially.

It is ON whenever the '''NO1''' is pressed.

That is the corresponding switch LED and the red LED glows simultaneously.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| normalcontact-NC.png
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Now connect '''PC0''' to '''NC1''' instead of '''NO1 '''as shown in the picture.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Let me show the live demo of the output.

We can observe that the red LED glows even before the switch is pressed.

And turns off whenever the '''NC1''' is pressed.

That is the corresponding switch LED and the red LED glows alternately.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| normalcontact-L.png
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Now connect '''PC0''' to '''L1 '''as shown in the picture.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Initially, the red LED is off.

When '''L1''' is pressed, both''' L1 '''switch LED and the red LED turns on.

The LED will turn off when we press '''L1''' one more time as these are latch switches.

Thus, the corresponding switch LED and the red LED glows simultaneously.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| This shows how a '''Normal''' '''Contact''' behaves with different types of switches.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Turn off the power supply.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
