WEEK8

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)

I decided to make something that combines kids Education and gamification so I found that I can make an educational kit for kids to help them in learning colors and numbers.
The source of inspiration is my maker diploma peers.

Tool Chain

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

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.
I also used Arduino IDE Program to write the code and upload it to Arduino uno

Electronics components

Breadboard
Led light (RGB)
10 resistor 220 omm
arduino uno
Jumper wires
Android Phone GUI
Smart mobile phone
Bluetooth HC-05 Sensor
7Segment

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?

Introduction :

I used TINKERCAD to simulate the circuit before I started to Build the circuit on a breadboard in real.

The inputs :

Android phone GUI
bluetooth HC-05

The outputs are

1. 7 segment

2. RGB

The power is supported from arduino uno (3.3v) as bluetooth sensor can work friendly

The circuit is connected as shown in simulation using wires and breadboard

the Arduino Uno takes orders through code

The smart circuit communicates wirelessly via a Bluetooth module to a phone &a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on Phone is used to send data to Arduino to control the action components

wiring diagram

Details :

I tried to draw the circuit on tinkercad so I inserted the components ( resistors,7 segment, RGB ,Bluetooth sonsor, Arduino uno, breadboard, wires )

The wiring steps:

Bluetooth

TX pin HC-05 Sensor on pin 0.
RX pin HC-05 Sensor on pin 1.

RGB and resistors

Green pin RGB LED on pin 9.
Blue pin RGB LED on pin 10.
Red pin RGB LED on pin 11.

The power source is 3.3v from arduino uno

then I used Arduino C Text to write your code in Arduino

7 segment and resistors

1. 1. A pin 7Segment on pin 2.
  2. B pin 7Segment on pin 3.
  3. C pin 7Segment on pin 4.
  4. D pin 7Segment on pin 5.
  5. E pin 7Segment on pin 6.
  6. F pin 7Segment on pin 7.
  7. G pin 7Segment on pin 8.

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?

The smart circuit is wired and tested with an actual Arduino board and electronic components on a breadboard

Bluetooth (The power source is 3.3v from arduino uno)

TX pin HC-05 Sensor on pin 0.
RX pin HC-05 Sensor on pin 1.

RGB & resistors

Green pin RGB LED on pin 9.
Blue pin RGB LED on pin 10.
Red pin RGB LED on pin 11.

7 segment & resistors

1. 1. A pin 7Segment on pin 2.
  2. B pin 7Segment on pin 3.
  3. C pin 7Segment on pin 4.
  4. D pin 7Segment on pin 5.
  5. E pin 7Segment on pin 6.
  6. F pin 7Segment on pin 7.
  7. G pin 7Segment on pin 8.

then I used Arduino C Text to write your code in Arduino

I upload the code in arduino after checking any mistakes
then I test the project

The code scenario

If Button N.1 is Pressed through the Mobile,The LED Lights up in green and Shows the Number 1 on 7Segmant.

else If Button N.2 is Pressed through the Mobile,The LED lights up in red and the number 2 Appears on 7Segmant.

else If Button N.3 is Pressed through the Mobile,The LED Lights up in Blue and the Number 3 Appears on 7Segmant.

else If Button N.4 is Pressed through the Mobile,The LED Lights up in light Blue and the Number 4 Appears on 7Segmant.

else If Button N.5 is Pressed through the Mobile, The LED Lights up in mixed colors, and the Number 5 Appears on 7Segmant.

else If Button N.6 is Pressed through the Mobile, The LED goes out and the Number 6 Appears on 7 Segmant for One Second.

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 didn't find the idea easily so I finish this task after inspiration of my peers and instructor
Error messages appear while uploading, the solution is uploading without connecting blutooth sensor
After finishing real wiring and uploading the code,the bluetooth doesn't work or connected to mobile The diagnosis was problem in some wires continuity after testing by avometer, I reconnected the circuit then checking the code for any mistakes

Final Project

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

using Bluetooth sensor in combination with manual inputs as well as coding and uploading on arduino are so helpful to me during final project phase

WOW!

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

participating in Robot arm Makeathon was something new and interesting to me
