Week 6

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)

inspiration video

This week I made an idea I watched on youtube about a smart door sensing that there is a human and open itself. I think it looks like what wee see in hotels, malls, markets, etc. so I was inspired to make it.

Tool Chain

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

tinker cad online program tinkercad

arduino uno

ir sensor(input)

micro servo(output)

small bread board

cardboard, scissors

jumpers (male -male & male - female)

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 used tinker cad website "online simulator program" to make simulation for the circuit to make sure from the connection to avoid damaging of the components.

1-I connected the positive of the 5v arduino to a point in the breadboard and the negative to another point.

2-I connected the ir sensor and servo motor as shown in google.

Now, it is coding time, this week we used code blocks instead of writing the code:

-I connected the signal of the ir to pin9 as input and translated it as shown in the blocks.

-signal of servo to pin 8 as output and work depending on the signal of pin9.

-if signal of pin 9 is high the servo will rotate 90 degree, else will return to 0.

I tested the wiring and coding and after working properly, I copied the code and pasted it in the arduino app for compiling.

now I could say"وجرت الامور كما خطط لها"

copying the code

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 connected every thing as were in tinkercad.

-I connected the arduino cable to my pc and uploaded the code from arduino app.

Now the project work properly

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)

This project took longer time than expected, this because when I began to upload the code, there was an error message always appear and that still till I met my instructor Mohanad and he told me that the problem was in the port of the arduino.

Final Project

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

serching online libraries

This week I learned how to deal with arduino and how to program it, also I learned how to wire and program every thing with arduino using google and online libraries and this will help greatly 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?

The coolest thing was the programming of arduino.

I will never forget searching about the datasheet of every electronic device(servo, dc motor,.....) in order not to making any damage to the kit.
