My old Sewing machine
Inspirations
This week's assignment is inspired by an old hobby of mine; sewing and making new clothes from thrift items. So, I decided to create a prototype of a sewing machine for my project.

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
TinkerCad
I used Tinkercad to build and test the circuit connections and ensure everything was functional before installation.
Material used in Tinkercad
1 Breadboard
1 hobby gearmotor
1 LED
1 Switch
1 Resistor
Materials for the device's enclosure
I used Cardboard, Glue gun, tape, cutter
Materials for electric circuit
1 Breadboard
1 hobby gearmotor
1 halogen lamp
1 Switch
Wires

Preparation in Tinkercad
Preparation in Tinkercad
I used Tinkercad to build and test the circuit connections, ensuring everything was functional. Using a 9V power supply to simulate the circuit, the motor successfully rotated, and the LED emitted light. The circuit is connected in parallel, and detailed steps are mentioned in the photo.

I recreated the Tinkercad circuit using hardware components.
*steps:
connected terminals of the power supply (9v adaptor) to the breadboard, and used crocodile wire to add the switch to the circuit as shown in the video.
connect the motor to +ve and -ve terminals of the switch
Connect the LED to +ve and -ve terminal
Building the circuit
Cutting
Cut the cardboard sheet into the desired shapes and dimensions
Gluing
Glue the cardboard with glue gun or tape
Mounting
Adding the circuit to the cardboard
Front interface
Cut the cardboard sheet into the desired shapes and dimensions
Final result

I faced a challenge while mounting the components, especially the Gearmotor, but I rewatched the video from (EOWeek Self-Practice), and it helped me a lot!
