week 6 # - 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)

This week's assignment was to build and program a smart circuit using the Arduino UNO which reads a signal from an input component to control an action component using Code Blocks

I wanted to do something related to my final project

Is to rotate the part responsible for turning on the shading with a servo motor according to the sunlight and I add a led light to indicate the turning on. so I chose to make the input with an (LDR ) and the output from the servomotor

TOOL CHAIN

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

Software

Tinkercad used to simulate electrical circuits and components, so I can calibrate circuit calculations,

Arduino IDE is used for downloading the code to the Arduino UNO

TOOLS

Arduino Uno
LDR senor
Red led
220-ohm resistor

servo
breadboard
jumper male-male & female male

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?

Tinkercad for simulation

NOTE I used pir just for simulation as LDR during simulation doesn't work

first connecting Arduino to beard board

connecting servo to pin 10
connecting the + of the servo with the breadboard and Arduino 5V
connecting the _ of the servo in the breadboard and Arduino GND

Then the red led, connect it to the beard board and connect - of led with the - of beard board for not burn it I used a 220-ohm resistor and to pin 8

Then the LDR ( pir), connect it to the beard board to +_ and to pin 5

coding

Input: Read pin 5 (Pir )

-Output: Pin 10 (Servomotor )

I used if condition as if the pin 5 is high ( there is sun light )turn on the led and rotate servo to 180

if there is no sun light turn off the led and rotate servo 0

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?

1st

coding

Downloading the code to the Arduino UNO using Arduino ide

2nd

I started to make the connections on the real breadboard according to the design on Tinker CAD but by using LDR with 3 pins to GND, 5V , and PIN 5 ( DO)

FINALLY

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 had a problem using LDR in tinker cad as it doesn't work so I asked Alaa Wahba, my teammate t wasn't accurate to simulate it on tinker cad

The solution is using PIR to just simulate it and in real simulation i used LDR and it worked or search for LDR with led tinker cad

Final Project

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

I tried to make a simulation of one of the main functions in my final project, so it helped me to think more about the mechanism of my final project

How the mechanism works using electronics and responding to sunlight

WOW!

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

The coolest thing this week is using a servo to make the minion wave his hand when it senses your existence by using ultrasonic sensor
