Week #5 - 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)

Smart Curtain

INSPIRATION

Smart Curtain...

The idea was inspired to have a merger between this week and the previous week.

So I designed a smart curtain that works in two states...

The first case: manually by pressing the button

The second case: using Photoresistor

"Tool Chain"

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

Servo Motor

Jumpers

Push Button

Resistors

TINKERCAD

Adaptor

Photoresistor (LDR)

Card Board

Crocodiles

RED LED

Bread Board

Arduino UNO

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?

1st

Smart Curtain - Circuit Design

We design the desired circuit on TINKERCAD to keep the components safe and make sure that the electronic circuit is built correctly.

2nd

Smart Curtain - Simulation

We simulate the desired circuit on TINKERCAD to check the working process of the electronic circuit is correct or not.

"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?

-CODE-

The main Function that will be looped while Arduino is powered ON.
The photocell will read the value on analog pin A0 and print it on serial monitor. '
After that if I pushed the button the servo will be rotated to the specified value.
If I used LDR sensor the servo will be rotated to the specified value that comes from LDR.

Declaration of pins

Declaration Variables

At first, I built and designed my circuit on TINKERCAD.

Then, I implemented the circuit on bread board
then, I put it into the body

I prepared the cardboard to be suitable for all components

Automatic Mode ON

Finally, That is the final output...

IMG_9965.MOV

Manual Mode ON

"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)

confusion

Problem: Not being able to fix Push Button on the card board due to its small legs.

Solution: I used crocodiles wires to attach it to its small legs from one side, and from another side is connected to male-male wire.

"Final Project"

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

The final output...

IMG_9967.MOV

Automatic Mode ON

IMG_9965.MOV

Manual Mode ON

"WOW!"

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

"Used Files"

Assignment Design Files

Arduino Code

TINKERCAD - Simulation

Note

I Have a problem with uploading videos, and i didn't find any solution
