Hello!

My name is Ella, I use she/her pronouns and I'm a junior.

A design/engineering strength: I'm a very creative person, and I think I'll really be able to use that to my advantage in this class

A design/engineering area for growth: when I'm far along in the design process and am presented with a big problem, I get overwhelmed.

Three commitments for the documentation of my learning and projects:

Take lots of pictures!
Keep a notebook/ folder for class so all of my ideas/ iterations are organized
Keep track of triumphs as well as challenges; both are equally as important to the design process

8/23/22

This is a circuit for lighting up one led light. The current travels from the battery, through the resistor and then finally lights up the LED.

8/25/22

This is a series circuit. The current travles from the battery thruogh the resistor. One end of the resistor is connected to the positive terminal, while the other is connected any where on the bread board. One of the LEDs is connected to the same row as the resistor (positive leg), while the negative leg connects to any other row on the breadbaord. The next LED is connected to the prior, the positive leg in the same row as the first one's negative leg, and the negative leg going into any other row. Finally, the last LED's positive leg goes into the same row as the second LED's negative leg, and then the circut is completed by putting the negative leg into the negative terminal.

Sketches for PCB design

PBC Design

For our PBC design we decided to make a Lightning McQueen circuit. We went with a parallel circuit so the LEDs would be as bright as possible

Here's our final schematic in Eagle

The tail lights don't light up :(

I did not have time to do my digital project, however my plan for my digital project was to use the microphone sensor and have the led ring light up to the beat of the music.

Final Speaker

I am most satisfied with the finished speaker. I am really proud of myself for coming in during tutorial, frees, and lunch to work on my speaker. If I were to start over, I would make a more ambitious design. A lesson that I learned during this class was to use my time wisely, and read the schematics!
