I decided to make something that combines parenting and gamification so I found that I can make a buzzer game with a green color led to encourage kids to do good things
The source of inspiration is my background about the reward system in brain and how it is useful to build internal and external motivation
Software: I used Tinkercad to design and simulate the circuit before we use the real electronic components; To avoid any problems in the real circuit and avoid damage of the components.
Electronics components
Breadboard
green LED Light
resistor 220 omm
peizo buzzer
ONE-OFF switch
DC Power (5v)
crocodile wires
Jumper wires
Material:
Cardboard
cutter
wooden box ( The enclosure of 'Hit the Number Game' )
introduction :
I used TINKERCAD to simulate the circuit before I started to Build the circuit on a breadboard in real.
The input is on off switch as real but in simulation I didn't find on-off switch so I used a pushbutton
The outputs are light and sound using led light and piezo buzzer
The power source is DC Power (5v) as the piezo can work and This leads me to insert a resistor in series with the led light
The circuit is connected in parallel as shown in simulation
Details :
I tried to draw the circuit on tinkercad so I inserted the components (LED light, Resistor, Piezo buzzer, pushbutton switch, 5v power supply)
The wiring steps:
The LED light's Anode side is connected with a the positive of the power supply, and the Cathode side is connected to ONE resistor leg so they are connecting in series.
The piezo's positive side is connected to the power supply's positive side, and the other side is connected to the same raw of the negative leg of the resistor so they are connected in parallel.
One side of the pushbutton is connected to the wire of the LED and the piezo, and the other side is connected to the power supply's negative side.
I connected them all to the 5v power supply.
I started to collect the component I need from my electronic kit.
The LED light's Anode side is connected with a the positive of the power supply, and the Cathode side is connected to ONE resistor leg so they are connecting in series. I used crocodile wires as I want to make the led light not attached to the breadboard directly. The resistor's legs are inserted in the beardboard (fixed connection)
The piezo's positive side is connected to the power supply's positive side, and the other side is connected to the same raw of the negative leg of the resistor so they are connected in parallel using the breadboard and jumper wires
One side of the switch is connected to the wire of the LED and the piezo, and the other side is connected to the power supply's negative side (the same way in the TINKEDCAD simulation).
I connected them all to the 5v power supply So the circuit is closed.
I used ready box from cardboard as an enclosure and finish it using some external cardboard
the device is now ready ( link for watching )
wiring and the final enclosure
I didn't read the requirement of assessment as first as I made series connection rather than the parallel. the solution is simply reading the requirements to get it and go ahead
I didn't know how to wire the circuit in parallel, so I got help through the tutorial on portal and I understood how to wire it.
I took time to understand the polarity concept, making many false trial to connect the circuits. what helps me are the tutorials in week 5 section on portal
I learnt how to wire the circuits and the importance of each component so i can use it efficiently
the car marathon was nice event and I learned the H bridge concept
