Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What were you inspired by?
- A scaled down simple prototype for a shading device outdoors.
- I think this idea is greatly related to my final project concept to understand the mechanism.
- I was inspired by the Shading umbrellas in KSA mainly and the new trend of kinetic architecture.

Making the Shading component move according to the LDR plus having an RGB LED that changes color according to temperature from warm to cold.
Input : LDR module sensing light "sun is direct".
Output : Servo motor moves to make a shading above the person standing beneath the roof.

The model works where the LDR module receives light form the mobile flash "representing the direct sunlight above the user".
then the servo motor receives this data from the LDR so it rotates in a direction to achieve shading for the user "through the white foam board"
and when there is no flashlight the servo motor gets back to its original position.

1- Fixing the foam board to the horn of the servo motor, so I had to connect them using some stitches.
2- The LDR wasn't working at first so I had to somehow rotate it with a screwdriver. plus I though it would be better to connect a LED to make sure that the sensor works instead of checking the motor each time.
3- The temperature sensor sometimes might have a difficulty in detecting the cold objects.
