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 Parking Sensor system , that sends a sound once the vehicle is near to something , and the sound gets louder when getting much nearer .

Tool Chain

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

As a software :

I used Arduino IDE to program the Arduino .

I Used Tinker Cad .

As Hardware I Used :

Arduino
UltraSonic
Buzzer

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 have designed the circuit on tinker cad as following .
programmed using the blocks so that when the distance is more than 30 cm the buzzer not working and starts to work if the distance is more than that .
Then wired every thing up .
Programmed the arduino so when the distance is less than 30 Cm the buzzer starts to work

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?

for the buzzer connected the positive pin to pin 11 and other pin to GND
For the ultrasonic connceted the echo and trig pin to 6 , 7 Pins , and other two pins to the VCC and GND .
Programmed the Arduino with the code from tinker cad .
It is a simple functionality when we gets near to the ultrasonic the buzzer is activated .
if the ultarasonic is not detecting any object the ultrasonic will stop .
The connections is shown in the video attached .

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?

Mena helped me in getting the idea of the project , Me and Mena were discussing the various option which includes one sensor and one output , I was willing to use the ultrasonic , so she propsed to use a buzzer and this is a parking sensor system .

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?

when I made a direct mapping between the ultrasonic distance to the buzzer analog value , the mapping was giving values bigger than 0 like 2 , 3 , so the buzzer has some sound .

Final Project

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

Using Tinker cad in simulation is very helpful for me in the 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?

Using tinker cad programming blocks .
