assignment
This week we had to build and program a smart circuit using an Arduino UNO.
inspiration
I chose a fan design that is controlled by a push button Where when you press the push button the fan works and when you raise your hand from the push button the fan does not work.
Software
I use tinkercad to simulate the circuit before actually designing it.

First: I used ( Arduino Uno, a fan, and a pushbutton)
Then: I started wiring them:
I Connect the fan to the ground, and pin ( 2 ).
I connected the pushbutton with the power, pin (3) and resistor then connected the resistor with the ground.
I used TINKERCAD to simulate the circuit before I started to Build your circuit on a breadboard and test it.
Simulation on tinkercad
I created the code using code block in tinkercad Where when you press the pushbutton the fan works and when you raise your hand from the push button the fan does not work.
After finishing the simulation in tinkercad I practice it using the real components.
I used the Arduino UNO board to control the input and output.
The input component is the push button.
The output component is the fan.
Simulation
I faced a problem while connecting 7Segment, where after connecting all the resistors and the on / off switches when I tried to turn it on, it didn't work.
solutions:
Change 7Segment from anode to cathode.
This assignment aims to learn how to control components by Arduino board through input triggers. This gives you more control over the components in your circuit and the ability to program each one of them individually to do certain tasks, That will help me controlling my final project components as I need.
In the EOWeek Session, we divided groups Our team consisted of me and Yara. to Build a Smart Waving Hand using Arduino. When you wave at the smart hand, it waves back at you! đź‘‹
