Week 7 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)

assignment

This week's assignment was to design and program a smart device that performs a certain function or solves a problem, using the program Arduino to read signals from multiple input components to control multiple action components, using Arduino C (Text Code).

inspiration

I chose to design a smart parking system When the car approaches the IR sensor picks up a signal so it turns on the buzzer so that the guard pays attention so the guard presses the switch to move the servo motor so that it allows the car to pass.

Tool Chain

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

Software

tinkercad: I use tinkercad to simulate the circuit before actually designing it.

Arduino IDE: To write the codes responsible for programming Arduino-compatible boards.

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?

First: I used (Arduino Uno, servo motor, Breadboard, IR sensor, Buzzer, on/ off switch, and LCD)

Then: I started wiring them:

I Connect the Servo motor with the ground, power, and pin ( 5 ).

Then I connected the IR sensor with the ground, power, and Pin ( 6 ).

Then I connected the Buzzer with the ground, and Pin ( 7).

Then I Connect the slide switch with the ground, power, and pin ( 3 ).

Then I connected the IR sensor with the ground, power, and Pins (13, 12, 11, 10, 1, 0).

note :

The input component are the IR sensor and on/ off switch.

The output component are the servo motor, Buzzer, and LCD.

I used TINKERCAD to simulate the circuit before I started to Build your circuit on a breadboard and test it.

First: I defined the component I used and which pins they are connected to on the Arduino.

Second: in the Void Setup sekchen, I wrote the processes I want to be run for once.

Third: Void loop sekchen:

If the reading of the switch is equal to high

if the reading of the sensor is equal to 1

turn on the buzzer, turn on the LCD, and print on it welcome back, and move the motor 90 degrees

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?

First: I used (Arduino Uno, servo motor, Breadboard, IR sensor, Buzzer, on/ off switch, and LCD)

Then: I started wiring them:

I Connect the Servo motor with the ground, power, and pin ( 11 ).

Then I connected the IR sensor with the ground, power, and Pin ( 2 ).

Then I connected the Buzzer with the ground, and Pin ( 13 ).

Then I Connect the slide switch with the ground, power, and pin ( 3 ).

Then I connected the IR sensor with the ground, power, and Pin ( A4 ),(A5).

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 faced a problem when turning on the circuit, the switch was not working.

solutions:

I found that when writing the code I wrote if the switch is high without writing digital read, I modified it and found the switch worked.

Final Project

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

This assignment aims to learn how to control multiple components by Arduino board through multiple inputs. 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 control my final project components as I need.

WOW!

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

In the EOWeek Session, we divided groups Our team consisted of me and Eslam. to Build a simple representation of a smart home system. This system senses the light in a room, as well as, weather parameters (temperature and humidity) in order to control a DC fan and a DC lamp.

Tools & Materials

1 DC Lamp

2 Relay Modules

1 DC Fan

2 Push Buttons

Jumper Wires

Crocodile Wires

1 DHT Sensor

1 Microwave Sensor

1 LDR Module
