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)

The assignment of this week is to build and Program a smart circuit using an Arduino UNO which reads a signal from an input component (Sensor, Switch, or variable resistor) to control an action component (Motor, Buzzer, LED...etc) using Code Blocks

I want to design a smart light that could produces light when some thing get close to it so it could help any one to study and when we go far away from it,it could turn off.

Tool Chain

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

Simulator online program

Bread board

Jumpers

Arduino uno

220 ohm resistor

White LED

Ultrasonic 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?

I used tinker-cad "online simulator program" to draw and test the circuit.

Then I used the program to make the blocks of the code.

I let the Arduino to take the read of trigger pin 3 and echo pin 2

Condition:

If the distance less than or equal 6 cm the LED which connected to pin 9 will turn on

If this condition is not found the Led will turn off.

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 the circuit as in the tinker cad .

I sent the code to Arduino cc to test the code. and upload it to the Arduino uno.

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)

I had a problem during uploading any code to the Arduino I tried many times and didn't find any solution.

My instructor Maram helped me and we fin that the problem was in the connecting cable of the Arduino and by changing the cable it works.

Final Project

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

From what I have learnt in this week I could connect some sensors and build a blocks.

WOW!

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

Title of Media

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.
