Week 6 - 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)

color mixing wheel

make a simple electronic tool to make a primary color mixing. manually by switches.

and automatic by IR sensor (if it is dark turn on the white (maxing from all color) light).

Tool Chain

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

Software

helping in simulating the circuit.

Components

Breadboard

resistors (220 Ohm)

RGB LED (common cathode)

jumpers (female-male and male-male)

push button switch

LDR sensor

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?

Manual mode

Circuits designed on TinkerCAD.

connection:

-RGB LED: common cathode to ground and red pin to pin number 2 in Arduino.

- the push button to pin number 5 to control the red light.

connection:

-RGB LED: blue pin to pin number 4 in Arduino.

- the push button to pin number 6 to control the blue light.

connection:

-RGB LED: green pin to pin number 3 in Arduino.

- the push button to pin number 7 to control the green light.

Code blocks on TinkerCAD.

testing first push button to on red light.

but the simulation is not correct (it is always run without pushing on the switch)to solve the problem adjust the code on Arduino ID.

each bottom will light color (red, green blue)

if IR sensor is high white light will light up.

this condition two mixing color.

take this code to Arduino ID.

provide a (_PULLUP) beside the INPUT of the push button.

now it is run perfectly.

provide these lines controlling the green light.

provide these lines controlling the blue light.

Automatic mode

Circuits designed on TinkerCAD.

it is not the right sensor but it is the same connection with Arduino and code.

LDR module connection with Arduino

provide these lines (LDR).

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?

Testing (Manual mode) on the breadboard.

Testing (Automatic mode) on the breadboard.

2.mp4

Maxing color code (Manual mode).

if push the button to on red light and push the button to on green light together, to mix those colors and get a yellow light.

if push the button to on green light and push the button to on blue light together, to mix those colors and get a cyan light.

if push the button to on red light and push the button to on blue light together, to mix those colors and get a purple light.

(not possible on TinkerCad to simulate it)

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)

the mixing color is not correct, because lines of code are not arranged correctly.

part 1 of the code

part 2 of the code

part 3 of the code

testing (here, when push on 2 switches to mixing color, it is not mixing right)

After the arrangement of the code lines correctly.

move part of the Boolean operator (And) in the first.

part 2 of the code

part 3 of the code

Final Project

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