Week 8 - 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 communicate wirelessly with a Smart Circuit via a Graphical User Interface contains at least TWO action components.

Tool Chain

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

I used Tinker cad to design and simulate my electronic circuit,

Then i used Arduino program for coding.

And finally i will make actions with mobile app (Arduino Bluetooth Control)

Tools:

Arduino Uno
Breadboard
Wires
Resistors 220 ohm
Bluetooth Module
Buzzer
RGB LED

Arduino Bluetooth Control

Arduino Uno

Bluetooth Module

Wires

Breadboard

Buzzer

Resistor 220 ohm

RGB LED

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 Circuit

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

I connected Bluetooth Module with Arduino on RX & TX and the other pins with ground & 5v on breadboard

I connected buzzer with Arduino on pin 7 & the other side on ground

I connected RGB LED with Arduino on pins 2,3&4 with resistor 220 ohm and other side on ground

And Arduino connected with ground & 5v with breadboard

I started with define all pins on Arduino

RGB LED on 2, 3 & 4

Buzzer on 7

Then i define all pins as output in void setup.

In void loop i used if condition as;

if the incoming data 1; it will be Red light

if the incoming data 2; it will be Green light

if the incoming data 3; it will be Blue light

if the incoming data 4; it will be White light

else; the Buzzer 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?

I used the same components that i used on thinker cad

I connected Bluetooth Module with Arduino & breadboard, connected RGB LED with resistors 220 ohm & with Arduino, connected buzzer with Arduino & breadboard

Finally i upload the code & do it in real with 9V 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?

I think if I didn't attend the Hackathon in the EOWeek session, i couldn't do my assignment & couldn't learn how i use smart Bluetooth Module in my final project.

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 EOWeek session while we connect 3 servo motor to play Hackathon, we found that there was a servo didn't work & Yasser gave us his servo
While i finished everything in my assignment this week i found that i works.. i sent on our group on slack more than 1 person helps me & i works (Mohamed Tarek THNANK YOU SO MUCH)

Final Project

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

Bluetooth Module will help me if i want to connect the my vending machine wirelessly & make an order with mobile application.

WOW!

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

The most Coolest thing when we made a smart game with Bluetooth Module & play with it in teams.

Our team (me & Bassem) name is: EL-KABEER :)
