Week 5 Journal

Assignment:

This week's assignment is to design, simulate, and build a simple electronic device that performs two actions and is Integrated within an enclosure.

I chose to make a House alarm

TINKERCAD Simulation

Real Circuit Prototype

For the enclosure:

I used cardboard for the enclosure, I cut out all the main parts, then, on the front side, I cut out a circle and cover it with a piece of a transparent plastic bag, also I cut out the pushbutton place. and assembled them with the tap, finally, I taped the circuit inside the enclosure.

electronics make me confused, every time I hade debuge in the curciut, thanks to my team they explaned the wiring to me and checked if I wired it correctly, and corrected it for me.

This assignment aims to understand the basic circuit analysis, how to connect components optimally to prevent them from overheating or burning out, and how to assemble and organize components in an enclosure without shortening the circuiting or messing up the circuit. also, -Knotting the jumper wires- tip on the breadboard to make them shorter, in order to keep the circuit clean and easier to debug for problems

My final project contains RGB LED light, Buzzer, and a pushbutton, I learnt how to connect them in parallel.

IN the EOWeenk session we are asked to make a SUMO RC Car that is controlled through pushbuttons and operated via H-bridge circuits, and is Integrated within a laser-cut enclosure,

Tools & Materials that we used

Ahmed Hammad, Abdelrahman sidiki and I were in a team, we started with building the circuit in the breadboard and tested it, then we moved to the design part to design our car, finally, we cut it with the laser cutter and assembled the parts and the curcuit,

after all teams have finished the whole process, we started a Sumo Car tournament, every team has two-person to control the car
