the assignment this week is to Build circuit using (Motor, Buzzer, LED...etc)
My idea this week was to make a rotating lamp in a decorated box to make a nice shadow at night
i got inspired from instructables.com found an amazing lamp which attracted me alot
I have used the TINKER CAD platform for simulating the electronic circuit.
Compass.
Pencil.
Cutter blade.
Scissors.
Screwdriver.
Glue gun.
9V Adaptor. ( for the motor which can be powerd in range of 5 volts to 12 volts and the lamp works good with 9 volts also)
Hobby Gearmotor. ( output ) 7 volt to 12 volt
Bread Board.
lamp (out put ) 9 volt for good light to 12 volt
push button . (input) to open and close the circuit
Jumper wires.
Crocodiles.
Adaptor Socket.
Cardboard.
Hot Glue.
I Used the TINKERCAD platform to simulate the circuit and calculate the values of current and resistors that I will need.
I used the 9V Adaptor as a power source for the lamp and the motor
I also connected the components of the circuit in parallel, because if they are connected in series, the voltage will be divided by the number of components, each according to its resistance, and therefore not all components will work as required.
I used the electronic components I mentioned above to build the circuit of the project.
After building all components of circuit, I plugged the adaptor into the electricity source to make sure that it is working properly.
The next step was to cut the cardboard according to the following dimensions:
Electronics enclusure: 30*10*5 cm.
lamp box diameter: 10*10*10cm.
The bracket for the lamp : 10*10 cm. D=5 cm
i opened a circular place R=3 for the on/off switch and the adaptor socket
After that, I Assembled the structure of the fan using the glue gun.
here you can find when i clicked on the push botton the motor and the lamp are on
in the beginning i used 5 volt adaptor but it didnt work well
the lamp didnt give good light and the motor was so slow then i changed to 9 volts and then it worked very good
knowledge and skills I had learned this week will reflect a lot of benefits on the final project, for instance,
knowing electronic components
how to build circuit
using thinkercad to simulate the circuit
Understanding the concept of the electronic circuit and its components.
Learning how to power every single component
Learning how to power multible components on the same circuit.
Understanding the concept of parallel and series connection.
Learning how to use the Avometer.
