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)

traffic light

I want to make a traffic light system so I searched on the arduino project HUB to find a close idea and do it. Because when I was little I loved watching their colors

Tool Chain

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

Software

to stimulate circuit

to upload code to arduino board

electric components

5 v adaptor

bread board

crocodiles wires

220 ohm resistors

jumpers

LEDs

arduino board

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?

Circuits designed on TinkerCAD

i used if condition and divided potentiometer range on three for three lamps

connection:

red LED on pin 5.
yellow LED on pin 3.
green LED on pin 4.
3 resistors each LED have resistor .
potentiometer 3 pins one on ground one on positive and the middle on pin A0 .

code blocks:

I want to Control with potentiometer in changing between LEDs colors.

so MARAM suggested if condition.

my input is potentiometer

and output is LEDS light

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 copied the code from tinkercad to arduino.

Then downloaded on arduino board.

then connected all electronic parts together.

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)

At first I wrote a code like this so the stimulus results were unwanted.

2 LEDs light in he same time.

MARAM and ASMAA SAIED helped me in this part and suggested to make digital write for each LED.

Final Project

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

It's my first time using Arduino UNO.

I am sure it will help me so much in my final project
