Week #7 - 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 I decide to go through my project and use my cardboard prototype to match the assignment and make low feudality prototype of my project

You can check this link to be familiar with my project ideation and inspiration

Final Project Proposal

Tool Chain

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

Wires to make connections
Servo motor to lock or unlock the door
LDR sensor
LED
Resistor 220ohm
Keypad
LCD 16*2
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?

VID20220301163220.mp4

Connect circuits using wiring color code (Black for GROUND and Red for VCC).
Make code on Arduino IDE (If user input the correct password servo will rotate to 90 and unlock the door, and if the user press ' * ' the servo will rotate to 0 and lock the door. Use LDR to control LED beside keypad incase light was off ).

The code file is attached below in Assignment Design Files

"Project min&complete .ino"

Run code and make sure it does not have any errors.
Upload the code on Arduino IDE and upload to Arduino board
Make sure they work, code and wiring do the function correctly.

Code Functionality: (Press on Arrow pointing down)

The main function is to control servo using certain password.

I used keypad to enter the password through and display using LCD

if the password entered was '789#' which is the correct password the motor rotate 90 degree (unlocked position) and any other inputs the motor will locate at locked position

then I added display feature which is shown "Hello THOMAS" if the correct password was entered.

but if it the correct password was not entered the LCD display "Enter Correct Password".

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?

Use cardboard to make low feudality prototype

Connect 5V adaptor to circuit using DC Power connector Ground to ground and VCC to Vin on Arduino.
- Install each component on its ideal position
- 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?

This Program is very helpful for me and it could help me a lot not just in Maker Diploma but also in my collage life.

the below link has a quick and simplified explanation, and how to download.

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?

Final Project

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

I use this assignment to make Low feudality prototype and test my project

Now I can say I am about to finish my 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.
