The idea for this week assignment is to control wirelessly using mobile App smart circuit that contains at least TWO action components.
I decided to Control RGB & Buzzer to give different OUTPUTS using Arduino Bluetooth Control App to perform different actions.
The idea is a trial to simulate my final project actions as RGB is a substitution for LED matrix & buzzer is a substitution for Speakers.

First I started simulating my Circuit on Tinkercad.
As Tinkercad don't support BT module. I decided to use Ultrasonic sensor instead to Demonstrate the circuit.

For my Smart Circuit I wanted it to perform the following actions:
If serial read 1 then turn RGB to white.
If serial read 2 then turn RGB to Red.
If serial read 3 then turn RGB to changing colors with delay 100 ms between each color.
If serial read 0 then turn RGB OFF.
And in all conditions turn Buzzer on for 50 ms as an alert
Using Arduino IDE, I transformed my code map to a real .iNO CODE

I found on the media channel Michael added a really cool feature for controlling the action components using voice commands from BT controller app and I found it really interesting and with searching I found the concept behind it is really easy. As for each saved voice command we give it a number so for example if you Said TURN LIGHTS ON the app will convert it to an order 1 and the OUTPUT will be the same as IF 1 Condition.
Overcoming Challenges
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 testing, I found the IF CONDITION 3 only work for 1 time and don't run in a loop. So I have to figure out the problem to make my code run in a loop so the RGB will keep changing colors when in CONDITION 3.

The coolest thing I've learned this week is the magic of voice commands and how can I use it to control different components wirelessly using my mobile.

I learned how to use the PWM(pulse width modulation) in different actions like controlling the intensity of light using values from 0-255.
