Week 5 - Journal

Ideation

Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What inspired you? (Please include images or links to sources of inspiration)

This week my assignment idea is to design an electronic device

(Buzz Wire Game).

I have this idea from Google Browser

Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?

First of all i used Thinker Cad to make circuit and check it before doing it on real.

Materials:

Breadboard
on/off switch
Buzzer
Red Led
Resistor
Jumper wires
Crocodile wires
5 Volt adapter
Electric wire
Cardboard

All Materials

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?

Tinker Cad Simulation

I started by using Thinker Cad to simulate my circuit and make sure that everything will be ok

I used 5 Volt power supply & i used led with resistor 220 ohm

After that i added power switch & connected it with buzzer & led

Inside cardboard

I tried it in real & it works....

Development/Implementation Process

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

First of all, i put mini breadboard inside the box & connect jumper wires with positive & negative

I connect on side of switch bottom with positive & the other side with the wire hand of the game

Then, i connect red led with resistor by crocodile wire from side & the other side with buzzer and the main wire of the game.... the other side of the buzzer i connected it with breadboard

Finally, i put buzzer, led & switch bottom in the front of the game & connect all wires inside the box

In the back, i put the power of the adapter

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?

Hammer Head Team (Michael & Rawan) helps us while our controller stopped & gave us another controller
Rawan helps me in Buzz wire game by telling me where can i put led & resistor with buzzer
I was the organizer leader for Dish Party & communicate with many people from all groups

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?

In the extra session, i asked the instructor about my circuit on Thinker Cad, he told me that they are parallel & i will faced a problem

Then, he draw this circuit to show me how can i do it

WOW!

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

RC car is the most coolest thing i have made, it's the first time for me to do something like that & playing with it

Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]

Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: in the Hands-on activity, tutorial examples, exercises, or any other cool mini-project that you tried out aside from the assignment.
