Week 5 - Journal

First, I tried to make the circuit and simulate it on tinkercad. I replaced the on/off switch with a push-button.
I have wired the buzzer sensor and the led to the breadboard.

After simulating the circuit on Tinkercad and making sure that everything is working correctly, I started building the circuit on the breadboard.
Connected the buzzer sensor to the gnd and +ve pin, and the led with a resistor to gnd and +ve pin in the breadboard and included the ON/OFF switch to control the whole circuit.

At first, I made the circuit without the metal wire to make sure that it is working as planned.

I connected all the components in parallel so that there is no division in voltage among the components and the potential difference is the same as the voltage source.
I used the 220ohm resistor with the led to limit the current flow and to keep it from receiving too much voltage.

And, 5v adapter because I searched in the datasheet of the buzzer sensor, and found that the operating voltage is 4-8v. so, 5v is suitable.

Then, I started including the metal wire and testing it.

After that, I started cutting the Prototype and fixing everything, The buzzer sensor, ON-OFF switch, The socket, the breadboard, and the LED were fixed with double face tape and normal tape.

I made two holes with the drill to pass the metal wire and fix it.

At first, I had a problem while drawing the circuit in the tinkercad. I went to youtube videos and I replaced the on/off switch with a push-button and insert in the prototype the metal wire.

I think this assignment will help me a lot when I started my final project, it give me a sense of how things go on, and helped me understand more how the components will work together.
