Week 5 - 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)

Buzz Wire Game

The assignment's idea of this week is to design, simulate, and build a simple electronic device that performs two actions.

I was confused to choose what but finally I decided to choose Buzz wire game that I found it here in amazon.

Tool Chain

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

Software

I used the TinkerCad to simulate the Buzz wire game.

Materials

Wood - wires - buzzer - led -adapter 5v - on/off switch - crocodile wire - nails.

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?

At first, I made a simulation in Tinkercad to try my circuit and know if it is ok or no.

I connected the buzzer (-ve side) with the the -ve side of the adapter, and the other side of buzzer with the cathode of led.

Then, I connected the anode side of led with the switcher, and the other side of the switcher with the adapter.

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?

Firstly, I connected the lamp cathode to the positive side of the buzzer via crocodile wire, and the lamp anode with side of switch.

Then, I connected the other side of the buzzer to wire that I will use it as the tool of the game.

Then, I connected the other side of switch to the adapter.

I connected the side of the buzzer to the wire.

The connection of wires

Finally, I made this shape by wood and a wire in between.

And finally, this is the final result of Buzz Wire Game.

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)

When I connected the Resistor with the LED in parallel and made a simulation, There was an error on the led because it has a big volt, so I increased the resistance in the resistor to be the resistance in the led is suitable, so I made the resistance in resistor = 350 ohm instead of 320 ohm and it works well.

Final Project

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

Now, I can use what I learnt in this week in my final project as the Buzzer, I can use it to make voice when the user be near with the machine.

WOW!

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

We made RC car that it was very fantastic :) , I made it with my team mates Mohamed Khodary and Samir.

At first, we designed our car shape using Fusion 360, Then we used the laser cutter for making it.

Then, we made a circuit and connected 2 motors to car, each motor for a wheel, after making this a cool car, we raced together, it was fun ^_^

Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]

Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.

I made a lot of circles to try everything in my kit. I made serial and parallel circles... You can watch the videos below to know how I made them.

I learned the difference between the voltages of the adapters
