Week #6 - 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)

Automatic Door Open.

While entering a lot of hotels or company you can see that they have doors opened automatically

And now I can say it is a very easy idea. It is all about using a sensor which detect motion and by programming or logic the output signal from sensor could control the motor in charge of opening the door

Tool Chain

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

I use Tinker Cad for simulation https://www.tinkercad.com/

Wires to make connections

Servo motor to lock or unlock the door

IR sensor to detect any motion

Arduino Uno to control IR and Servo

Arduino IDE to upload the code on (Run the program)

breadboard to make wiring easy

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?

TO better view check the circuit by your self

https://www.tinkercad.com/things/4LsvoY4bWdC-automatic-door-open

Make the circuit on Tinker Cad and make sure from connections.
Translate what I want to Code blocks (If IR sensor detect motion rotate servo 90 and wait one second degree else rotate it to zero and wait one second).
Start simulation and make sure it work correctly.

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?

Make the connections real

Download the code on Arduino IDE to run it on Arduino board (You can find the code file at Assignment Design Files

its "Door Automatic Open.ino" )

See the results and be PROUD

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?

While the last offline session I had a challenge to make a wave hand

through the progress my team had a lot of errors in connections due to that We do not use color code wiring and also we forgot to connect the positive and negative sides of Arduino as showed in the figure.

THE Moral use red wires to connect positive pole and black ones to connect negative pole (use color code wiring)

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?

While the last offline session I had a challenge to make a wave hand

through the progress I make a dangerous mistake it was that

I swapped between the positive and negative wiring

I was connecting it to my servo and Arduino

the servo be very hot (You can not touch it ) and I could not find the mistake until the instructor (Ahmed Abdelnaser ) helped me and discovered it (AND finally the waving hands were worked correctly)

it is a dangerous mistake, its badly effect could damage your USB portal

So Take CARE ADOUT THIS ONE

Final Project

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

WOW!

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

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.
