Week 5
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)
My inspiration came from my old Facial Cleansing Brush
it was just motor and light.
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Software
TinkerCad
Tools
Scissor
Glue Gun
Tape
Cutter
Materials
Wires
Hobby motor
green LED
BreadBoard
Resistor 330/220 Ohm
ON/OFF Switch
DC Adaptor 5 Volt
Female DC Power Adapter
Cardboard
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?
Designing (Tinker CAD)
1- install all materials we are going to use from components in tinkecad
power supply 5V.
LED.
Resistor.
breadboard.
Hobby Gearmotor.
slide switch.
2- Connect all components on the breadboard (Parallel).
3- start the simulation feature to make sure every component is working.
Making the circuit
connecting
-VE charged wire of the Hobby Gearmotor to the side of slide switch & -VE charged wire of LED.
the other side of the slide switch is connected to -VE charged wire of the power supply 5V.
the other side of the LED connected to +VE charged wire of the Hobby Gearmotor & +VE charged wire of power supply 5V
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?
I cut the cardboard in an easy shape to handle AND made a hole for the led, button, motor, and adaptor putting all components inside and gluing The cardboard shape to close it well.
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)
Thank God, there weren't any nails or nuts ^-^
During the midweek session, we faced a problem of the circuit didn't work so we troubleshoot to know where the problem so the problem was in the +ve & -ve charged wires, It was hard to recognize which wire represented the +ve charge and which one represents the -ve charge because we didn't use dark color wire for the -ve wire and red for the +ve wire. it was hard to diagnose the wire, but when we marked the wires in black and red it was easy for me to handle it.
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
I Learned how to design shapes with cardboard and how to design electrical circuit by using tinker cad, it is going to help me to design my final project.
