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)
I have seen while searching on google the photo of "F F" written with two 7'segments.
I thought that idea may help me to write a word with just two letters. So ,I decided to write "hi".
The second thing is the shape of the fan , I noticed it has 4 holes which I decided I'll put 4 LED's there .
Tool Chain
Tool Chain
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
TinkerCAD website
DC Brushless FAN
4 LED's
On off switch
Some male-female and male-male wires
2 cathode 7'segment
DC jack
Breadboard
5V Adaptor
A box from cardboard
I have used TinkerCAD website to simulate and test my project, then I have used cardboard to be the enclosure I used also Fan, LED's , 7'segments to act like the output devices. Also, I used 5V DC adaptor as my components need only 5V so, I needed a DC jack to convert from AC to DC . I needed also a breadboard to help me to connect my wires.
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?

Design in TinkerCAD website
I used the search tab to collect my tools then I started connecting them optimally(in parallel connection), I put a 220 Ohm resistor in each connection from the power to the 7'segment I used the data sheet of 7'segment to help me to write the word "hi". Also, I used series resistors for LED's to lower the voltage as they need about 2-3 voltage only. Finally I put the push button series to the negative part of the power supply.
Circuit design _ Tinkercad.mp4Done!
Actually, it's a great moment seeing it virtually working.
Development/Implementation Process

connections.mp4final shape.mp4After I made sure of the design on TinkerCAD and saw it working, I moved to the tools and started with the LED's connections, then moved to the 7'segment and connected it parallel according to the datasheet, then I connected the fan in parallel way also. Finally I put the positive and negative ends of the power supply in the breadboard .
After I have checked that it's working I brought the switch and connected it between the negative end of the power supply and the place of the negative supply in the breadboard.
Finally, I made some holes in the upper face of the box to put the output and input tools.
Overcoming Challenges
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 started putting the LED's in the five corners of the fan I couldn't put the the crocodiles in a correct way as they were touching each other:(.
From the end of week tutorial I have learned that they can't be touching each other and that would cause a problem.
So, I decided to put the 4 LED's alone and that seemed better.
Final Project
Final Project
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
This week I have learned how to use tinkercad to simulate the circuit (how to get components, use blocks, get the text code).
Also, I learned how to use the physical components, how to troubleshoot the circuit using avometer (it helped me to check if the voltage is enough in my circuit or not and etc.).
I have learned from this week activities how to search quickly and get information I need , which helped me a lot ,for example I needed to know the pins for the 7'segment and how to write the word "hi".
Actually, the shape is like a magic box which allow you to only click a button to open a fan, 4 LED's and say "hi":0
WOW!
WOW!
What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

My team was the first to complete the mid weak two activities containing the two extra tasks :0
