Chapter Iii
The system developed consist of a sensing unit, processing unit, display unit, and a
notification unit. The sensing unit comprises the vibration sensor which gives off signal
when certain vibrational intensity is achieved. The display unit comprises the LCD
Display with I2C Module to display time. The processing unit comprises the Arduino Uno
and Real Time Module. Lastly, the notification unit comprises the buzzer which serves
as indicator when the clock ticks. The diagram illustrates the whole system consists

C.5 Buzzer
A buzzer is an audio signaling device that can be mechanical, electromechanical,
or piezoelectric. It is commonly used in alarm devices, timers, and confirmation of
user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
C.7 Proteus
Proteus 8 Professional is a electronics circuit board design, PCB circuit board
assembly and prototyping software that can also be used to for real time simulation
of microcontroller such as 8051, design of schematics of electronics and external
electrical circuits and PCB (printed circuit board) design.
C.8 Arduino IDE
The Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used to
The following steps are taken to upload the code to the Arduino Uno:
1. Ensure that the port of the Arduino is connected and configured to
laptop/computer. Check in the Device Manager if the port of Arduino is working
properly.
2. In tools, select Arduino Uno for Board.
3. Connect the needed components to the pins of the Arduino Uno.
4. Once all codes are written, compile and verify them to check if the code is
working.
5. Press the upload to insert the code into Arduino Uno in order to test it.
D. Testing Methods
To verify and determine the functionality and effectivity of the prototype, the following
tests are done:
i. Functionality Test
ii. Protype System Test
