Project Ideation
1- Tell us about the idea of your project. Why do you care about this? What were you inspired by? Include images and videos of similar projects
it`s a zoetrope Because I am interested in stop-motion, so I decided to make a kind of stop-motion animation using the zoetrope . I love the models that Akinori Goto makes . He is a Japanese artist .
-Because I like this machine and it has existed for a long time, I wanted to make one for me, in a new and advanced way, and control it with the Arduino, so that it would be easier to control the speed of rotation and see the shapes moving .
it will work When the sensor senses that the lighting of the place is low, it is sent to the Arduino, the motor starts, the RGB led lights up, the acrylic sheet rotate, and the shapes engraved on them appear at the sheet above the RGB led place.
user can change the motor speed with potentiometer
Project Construction
2- Explain the CAD process of your project. How did you use the software to design your project? (List the softwares/tools/materials...etc that you used)
software
tools and machines
Prusa
PLA plastic
-Arduino uno
-jumper wires
-potentiometer
-led RGB
-DC motor
-breadboard
-IR Sensor HW-201.
-motor controller l293
-resistors 220 ohm
-9v adaptor
-regulator
-ON/OFF switch
I used Fusion 360 to draw all the sketches and all the parts and make sure that all the parts are the exact size after assembling them together and before fabricate
I started making sketches to adjust the sizes
First I drew the base then I started drawing the parts that raise the motor and the base that it will be fixed .
-then the parts that will be installed by bearing ball in order to have a suitable height and touch the upper surface that will rotate to help the motor in its rotational movement
-Then I drew the parts that will raise the LED
-And I drew the sides, the front part, with the potentiometer slot and the back part
And the right part has the on-off switch, the power source, and the sensor
3- Explain the fabrication process of your project. How did you use the machine to fabricate your project? (List the softwares/tools/materials...etc that you used)
After that, I send all the parts to RD works software to modify the settings for the machine before the fabrication.
all black to cut speed 10 , power 60
After making sure all settings were correct,I went to the lab to fabricate . move the file to the machine and put the cheat , click run to start fabrication the design
After that, I send all the parts to RD works software to modify the settings for the machine before the fabrication
I did a test first to check the speed and power required to cut and etch the acrylic and used different settings .
all black to cut speed 10 , power 60
red to ingraving used :
power : 23
speed : 300
After making sure all settings were correct,. move the file to the machine and edit heatbed temp and Setting the filmant to PLA means that Nozzle temperature will be 210°C
Project Electronics & Power Management
4- Describe your electronic circuit. What are the input and action components? What is the function of each? How do the components integrate together to form your smart system? (List the softwares/tools/components...etc that you used)
After that, I connected all components, so I connected the potentiometer and the RGB LED and LDR sensor , on/off switch to control the curcuit on or off , motor , motor controller and I used a voltage regulator
.
- RGB-led
connected negative leg to negative on a breadboard.
- ( led green ) to breadboard to 220-ohm resistor to the pin 11 Arduino
(leg blue ) to breadboard to 220-ohm resistor to pin 9 Arduino
-(leg Red ) to breadboard to 220-ohm resistor to pin 8 Arduino
- potentiometer
positive leg to positive section on a breadboard
- and negative to the negative section on a breadboard
-and out leg (input ) to (A0)pin Arduino
-motor
I connected leg to the enable side in the controller
and wiring the pin enables A on the controller to pin (3) Speed

5- What is your power source? How did you select the suitable power source for your project? (List the softwares/tools/components...etc that you used)
The power source for the device will be
9V 2A Adapter: for powering all components.
Project Programming
6- Describe the code of your project. How did you program each function of the project?
I searched for a code to find out how to write the code to control the speed of the motor , And I found a code and I understood the method of write , then I began to modify it and combine it with the other code so that the sensor works, so it sends the request to the components to work and control the speed of the motor through the potentiometer
When the LDR sensor (input) senses that like the lighting is low , it will make the motor (output) work and the LED (output) will light up And we can control the speed of the motor during the potentiometer
-used 9v adaptor
-pin (7,input) sensor
-pin (3,output) (speed motor)
-pin (2 ,output) direction
-pin (9,output) blue led
-pin (8,output ) red led
-pin (11,output) green led
-A0 (input) potentiometer

Overcoming Challenges
9- 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 project?
When I tried cutting the acrylic cheet for the first time, the engraving appeared in the whole shape and I did not like its shape, but Salma helped me and suggest to me to use the picture and make scan on the picture.
