Week #5

Journal

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)

Now , I gonna make an electronic device that performs two actions .

for me, I enjoy making Home appliances so , I choose this beautiful washing machine .

This tutorial helped me a lot to do my task .👉

Tool Chain

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

_ Software

https://www.tinkercad.com/dashboard

It is a free app for 3d design , electronics , and coding

_ Electric components

_Making Tools

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?

Firstly , opened TinkerCAD and created new circuit .
Then brought the components needed ( breadboard mini , gearmotor , red LED , 220 ohm resistor , switch , power supply ) .
After that started building my circuit , The components are connected in parallel so that they obtain the same voltages(5v)
Put a side switch to manage controlling the circuit turn on and off .
Started simulation to test if the circuit work or not .

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?

Firstly , I brought the electric components needed ( red LED , 220 ohm resistor, gearmotor , breadboard mini , switch , DC Jack , 5v adapter ) (wires , (2) male male to connect the LED to breadboard and (4) male male (2) for the Jack and (2) for the gear ).
I built the circuit as I did on tinkercad , making sure that the components are connected on parallel and the wiring is exactly connected .
Test the circuit by powering it , to make sure it works .

Secondly , I brought the making tools required to build the maquette

_ Cardboard , to build the body of the washing machine , having (6 rectangles 10*13 cm) to make a rectangular prism with scissors and cutter .

_ Small bottle , to make the inside rotary container , cutting it's cap and make some holes in it with a cutter or a digger tool .

Finally , It's time to mount them together so,

Bring one cardboard rectangle to make the base of the device , then stick 3 small rectangles on each other to make two columns in front of each other to prove the gearmotor on them so then stick the gear on with glue , and after that collect the other cardboard parts together to close the enclosure of the box , remembering to make a hole for the jack on the back side and another two small holes for the LED and switch on the top and another circle hole for the door , and to make the door : cut two circular frames from cardboard and a Circle made of transparent white paper and put it between the two frames , and to make the door open and close easily, bring thin wire and put it into small cylinder then , stick it on the extremity of the circular frame .

Overcoming Challenges

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)

During building the sumo car , we built two H_bridge circuits .

By testing the components at the first , we found out that the gear does not work , so we had to replaced it .

We faced some problems like that some wires was not connected to electricity and the AVO helped us knowing that , and sometimes we wired them not on it's place and with revising the wiring connection found out that .

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

As required in the final project to make a smart device so , it will contain smart components , these components need electricity to work so , we need to know how to power them to make them work , and that we learned in this week .

WOW!

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

Okay , I really enjoyed learning about this electric section , as it helps me understand a lot of things around me .😀

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.

We made this sumo cars in the Makeathon #1 🤩

It was wonderful building it and competes each other on the session.🥰

Also , I'm happy to say that we was the winners .🥳
