The preventer of emotional and wrong decisions
INSPO
INSPO
I think I'm taking this journal as a real journal you know 😅
As we all know -if you don't know what I am going to say next, believe me, you're fortunate- making a terrible decision depends on our emotional mind, as we don't consider our wise side at that moment, so what if we have a device to warn us from making a wrong decision from the beginning?
The maze reminded me of the maze we entered because of one wrong decision.
علااااااامة ياااارببببببب

Metaphoring the bad decisions with the maze, as once you enter it, it's a little tricky to get out.
I wanted the maze to warn us at every step, and it includes 3 phases:
The 1st phase, there will be a red light.
The 2nd phase, there will be strong noise from the buzzer.
The final phase, the floor & the whole maze will start vibrating, and you'll have to face the consequences of your shitty decisions 😅
Important Side Note

There's a lot of EXIT doors in the maze, as you can always get out, and it is not always that hard you know?

Sketching the maze plan
The Design:
The Design:
The concept is drawing the maze in a loop shape or whirlpool that is divided into small zones. Each zone represents a phase, and each phase delivers us to the next phase. Finally, you'll be forced to face your consequences, but the maze should contain many exits, as it's always possible to walk away from this dilemma.
The creation of the circuit on TinkerCad:
The creation of the circuit on TinkerCad:
The circuit contains 3 different components( Red LED, Buzzer, and Moving Motor).
The circuit gives us 3 outputs: light, noise, and vibration.
Using 3 push buttons to control the opening and closure of the 3 components.
The voltage of the power supply is 9 volts.
Connecting the components in parallel.

In this step, I connected the motor and the LED in parallel.
Checking the circuit

In this step, I checked all the wiring was correct and connected the circuit to a power source.
Finalizing the circuit

Here, I started connecting all the wires with crocodiles, so they could be mounted with the maquette.
Details of Wiring
Details of Wiring
I started with connecting the +ve and -ve rail with the DC power jack, then connected the separated rails together.
After that, I wired the LED, the +ve one with the +ve rail, the -ve with the resistor (220 ohm), and the resistor with the -ve rail.
The buzzer is wired with the +ve rail, and the -ve rail.
The motor is wired with the +ve rail, and the -ve rail.
I started to check the wiring by connecting them with the 9v adopter, and it was right.
Finally I added the switch buttons to every +ve wire of the 3 components and extended the needed wires with crocodile wires.

Generating the idea, and making the maquette took a lot of time, but I really wanted to finish it, So I'm glad I did.

While I was simulating the circuit on TinkerCad, this problem popped up, So I was afraid that the LED would burn, but it didn't as I didn't take much time

I had no idea before how all of this work, so I had to watch the videos 5 times, and I was like repeating every step in the videos, and finally, I got it, Thanks to Asker videos

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
Understanding the connections of wiring -in parallel & series- will help me, If I need any electrical connections in my final project.
Using the motors in Sumo Car widened my perspective, as I had a moving part in my final project.
Doing the H-bridge manually, I think will make me grateful for the new technology.
WOW!
WOW!

Coolest thing i learned.mp4Being able to finally understand what connecting in parallel & series really means, and doing it myself is the best.
Teaming with Omar and Ghada, developed my skills in Team Work.
Knowing more about myself, I discovered that I love learning, even if it is my least favorite topic.

Midweek Session
Midweek Session
I enjoy the midweek sessions; because Menna makes us engage, and interact, this week we learned about the 7 segment and the purple LED.
Also, teaming up with Omnia was great, as I always thought I had a problem with Teamwork, but I figured out that it depends on the people you team with, so here are the tips I learned:
All team members must want to team with you.
To have enough patience, until you get heard or understood, it's not easy, but we aren't always right.
Trusting the process, and knowing that everything can be fixed if we stick together.
Looking forward to being an Instructor

You guys keep influencing me, I'm really proud of Menna, She's very supporitve, helpful, and reaaallly patient, actually, she makes me proud that I am a girl like her 😍
Also Ahmed, he's really good, and help me think better, and I am also happy that he's young, yet very qualified.
How Saeed's, Ahmed Ibrahim's, and especially Asker's videos helped me.
Maybe one day I will be part of the team, and help people know more about themselves as you let me!
