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)

This week's assignment was to Build and Program a smart circuit using an Arduino UNO and code blocks on tinker cad

i have got inspired by a security system project on instructable.com

Tool Chain

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

Soft ware:

I have used the TINKER CAD platform for simulating the electronic circuit.

Arduino IDE to upload the code for Arduino.

Electronic Components:

5V Adaptor to power the arduino ,buzzer and the ultrasonic sensor
Bread Board.
Arduino UNO.
Ultrasonic Sensor
Buzzer
Jumper wires.
USB Cable.

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?

input : ultrasonic sensor

has 4 pins (vin on volt / ground pin /tigger on pin 2 on arduino / echo on pin 4 on arduino )

out put : bazzer has 2 pins ( pin 6 on Arduino ( analogue output ) and ground)

powered the Arduino from the 5v pin from the + 5volts and the ground from the - from the breadbroad

here the block code shows when the ultrasonic detect a signal from 20 cm sets pin 6 to 150 as an analogue output

otherwise the pin 6 is low then the bazzer wont work

and here you will find the arduino code C which I converted the block code to the text code in tinkercad and put it in the IDE application

after that i uplode the code to the arduino and then use the 5 volt adaptor to power it without the computer

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?

here is the final circuit showes when the ultrasonic detect object the bazzer alarm get on other wise the buzzer is off

What kinds of challenges or problems did you face while doing the assignment, tutorials, or exercises? How did you solve them? Did you ask for help from an instructor or peer? Please provide a link to the tutorial or article that you used to solve your problem (if any)

for the first time i used ultrasonic i didnt know what is tigger and echo pins and i didnt know how to connect them on Arduino i searched on google and i found that they are pins for communications with arduino tigger send pulse and echo recieve

Overcoming Challenges

Final Project

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

It was my first time dealing with the Arduino IDE. So, I got familiar with it and it will help me during working on my final project in the point of programming.

WOW!

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

I have earned a variety of skills and knowledge in this week as follows:

Controlling several components by analogue and digital inputs.
Understanding the concept of analogue and digital output.
Getting familiar with Arduino IDE.
