Week 4 - 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)

My idea for this week is a game , a buzz wire game where you shouldn't touch the wire, If you do you lose .

Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?

I used tinker cad to create the circuit and simulate it . it is an easy to use software

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 had the idea that the design needs Two OUTPUTs , so I have chose LED and Buzzer .

The led and the buzzer will be connected in parallel , so both have the full voltage which is 5V .

I will represent the buzz wire as a push button , so when it is clicked represent as if it is touched .

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 have created the circuit on the breadboard and tested it was working fine .

Second thing was to add the circuit to enclosure , I used a pizza box to add all the components to it :D . and that was the hard part .

I have chosen 5 v as a power source because the led and buzzer would work under 5 v . the led will have a resistor in serious and the buzzer will be connected in parallel with them to have the full voltage .

Community of Learning

Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

Mohand descried the requirements for the circuit , so it was pretty easy to design what components in the circuit .

Overcoming Challenges

When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this assignment?

creating the enclosure and putting everything together was not easy , so every one has to decide which component goes first and which is the next one and so on .

Final Project

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?

I will use what I have learned to design the power circuit for my final project .

WOW!

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

Tinkercad , it is an easy to use simulation environment .
