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)

Don't BUZZ the WIRE

The idea for this week assignment is to create a buzz wire game! Stay Focused and away from the Wire or it will BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!! ;)

The Idea is inspired by a scene from one of my favorite childhood Comedy Actors "MR BEAN"

Tool Chain

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

For this Project I used TinkerCad to simulate the electric Circuit.

Materials Used:

Cardboard
Glue and Glue Gun
Iron soldering tool

Components Used:

Jumper Wires
LEDR
220 OHM resistor
Buzz
9V adapter
Old Wires
Glue Gun
On/Off Switch

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?

I Started with Simulating the Electrical circuit using TinkerCad

Then using Simulation tool I started simulation to make sure all compartments are connected in parallel & working perfectly.

As we are only using Buzz which needs 3-5V and Red LED which needs 2.5V I decided to use a 5V power Supply.

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?

Using Breadboard, I connected all the compartments together in parallel with the power supply and Switch.

To make my design smaller I decided to reconnect the parts without Breadboard inside the enclosure.

Now the BUzz wire game is fully finished and ready to be used!

let's BuzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz this WIRE!!

Community of Learning

Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

During designing the enclosure, I decided not to use the Breadboard to make the design smaller and lighter in weight.

Overcoming Challenges

When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this assignment?

During designing the circuit, it was confusing to create it with two switches, So I relied on a reference video on Youtube.

Final Project

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

After learning the basics of electric circuits. I will be able to design the Circuit for my final project

WOW!

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

I learned how to use two switches for the same circuit and despite it sounds easy! Believe me you will get stuck at some point during application.

Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]

Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.

one of the Coolest things I have learned this week is how to use soldering iron tool. It is really interesting and satisfying not to depend on jumper wires on all your electric circuits
