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?

wiring components with Arduino by jumpers and breadboard

wiring the out put components (buzzer , RGB led )

wiring the Bluetooth module with the Arduino

Coding

The RGB LED has a buzzer controlled by a mobile app.

When you press one, the RGB LED will light blue and the buzzer will make noise.

When you press button 2, green will come up.

When you press 3, the red colour will appear.

4 is for the buzzer only.

and 5 for the three colours together.

And 6 stops everything.

Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?

After building the code and the wiring diagram simulation, I've started to build the actual circuit on the breadboard.

Then I uploaded the code onto the Arduino UNO and I connected it to the mobile phone.

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?

Farida helped me to understand the sequence of the coding and how I could use the app on my mobile.

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?

We got stuck on the offline session, wiring the Bluetooth module, me and Amr, but we eventually figured out how to make it work.

Final Project

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

how we can wiring components toghter from arduino

WOW!

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

Constructing robot arms

and control it with the Android app.
