The assignment idea is to design something special with two different types of output components.
I chose the blender as a container of my circuit components.
I saw the same idea before with a great finish.
Mini Breadboard
Resistor 220 ohm
DC Motor
Push Button
Jumper Wires
Adapter 5V-2A
Red Led
Can
Scissors
Plastic cup
Cutter
Glow Gun
Bottle cap
Prototype the electrical circuit on a breadboard
In this project, I used two outputs (light) in Red Led and (move) in the DC motor.
Get the power supply (5v - 2A) as the power source, I used a mini-Breadboard to be easy
in hiding in the bottom of the can.
I used the push button as it will be suitable for the blender than (on/off) switch.
I chose the red led to be suitable for the color schema of the Blender and as the second output.
I used a resistor for the led, connect all together as shown in the video below ↓
1st:
I chose this plastic jar, but I chose another one as it's not so suitable for my blinder.
I cut the can into two pieces, then make the bottom piece some short by cutting off its edge and making the gaps line to be easy in putting the two pieces together later.
2nd:
I glue the plastic cup (blender bowl) with the top piece of the can (motor part).
I made a tiny hole in the middle between them for the DC motor.
I made a tiny hole in the middle between them for the DC motor.
I cut a piece of the can to make the sharp blades.
3rd:
I prepared my mini-Breadboard and attached all the components to it.
I checked the circuit and made sure all is correct, and it was working.
I checked also the voltage and all was good.
4th:
After connecting the mini breadboard with the DC motor, led, push-button, and the Adapter, I made holes for each to make sure all the components inside the can and nothing showed up.
I checked the circuit again, and all was good.
I attached the blender bowl with its hand with double face glue.
I glowed the black hat head to the top of the blender bowl.
When I plugged in the circuit to the adapter, I noticed that the Led light wasn't on and had a problem there. I used the Avometer to check all the wires and connections, all was good I had just switched the (+ Positive) and the (- Negative) wires of the Led.
I advised my team to make the design of the RC car a little small to make it stable and fast, unlike our rival.
One of my team colleagues " Ahmed Mahfouz " advised us about the design of the RC car that should have a fillet in the front to make it easy for us in the fight to drag the rival.
I made a mistake, that I didn't measure the DC motor nail tall before I glued the Blender bowl with the base. It was short to put the blades.
But I fixed the problem by making the blades bonded up with an angle to give the blades space to spin free.
Circuit Prototype
I can design a circuit now and prototype it with the breadboard and practicing will make it so easy to accomplish.
The Coolest thing I have learned this week was the H-Bridge trick that made me able to switch the directions of the motor in an effortless way like joysticks.

It was challenge really for me to complete this design
