Week 8- Journal
Ideation
Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What inspired you? (Please include images or links to sources of inspiration)
The idea of ​​this week is to control by phone via Bluetooth with RGB LED and BUZZER , I searched YouTube to find similar ideas in these links
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Arduino Bluetooth Control
Arduino to copy the text code and upload it to Arduino UNO.
Breadboard to connect components -Jumper wires To connect electricity to components
- RGB LED To be able to turn on different lights - buzzer To make a sound when one of the lights is turned on
- Arduino uno To make the code and activate the components
- 3 Resistor (220 ohm) To introduce the appropriate current to the LED
Design/Preparation Process
Explain the design and/or preparation process of your assignment. How did you use the tool or software to design and/or prepare your assignment before fabrication/implementation?
I wrote the code at the beginning, I defined the inputs and outputs
Then I wrote the code for the void loop
Then I specified the data for the lighting of each LED
I also specified the data to turn on and off the Buzzer
Finally, when I finished the code, I uploaded it to the Arduino to activate the circuit
Development/Implementation Process
Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?
First,I connected all components to the breadboard
Then I connected the resistors
Here I connected the Arduino to the breadboard And I connected the bluetooth module to its places
Here I connected the RGB LED to the Arduino
I connected the BUZZER
Then I connected the Arduino to the laptop to download the code and here is the shape of the circuit at the end
This is how to connect the wires on Tinkercad
Here are the inputs and outputs of the Arduino Bluetooth Control program
Overcoming Challenges
What kinds of challenges or problems did you face while doing the assignment, tutorials, or exercises? How did you solve them? Did you ask for help from an instructor or peer? Please provide a link to the tutorial or article that you used to solve your problem (if any)
I had a problem uploading the code to the Arduino, then I searched and I knew that the TX & RX wires must be disconnected before uploading
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
One of the best things we learned during this week is to control the components of the phone via bluetooth , and it is one of the important things that will help us to make our project better.
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?
I controlled the RGB led through the color led controller app without having to write a code
