Week 5 - 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)

my assignment is simple electronic device that performs two actions.

so i got my inspiration while i was searching from this photo, i think it is very cool to see fan-table which has LED's light

so while it turns on it will make circular of color light.

fan toy

Tool Chain

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

use to design the circuit and simulate it

cardboard from any old device container

sticks skewer

jumpers wire

3v batteries

Red LEDs

dc motor

adapter 9v and 5v

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?

major part

first i start to build the man function which means that fan with motor

simple circuit of led and battery

note that it is okay to connect the led directly from two tips with battery but i prefer to use male-female jumper to be able to disconnect the circuit without destroying it to save the power of battery.

i remove the insulator of male side in jumper to make good conduction with battery.

i built the circuit on tinker cad and simulate it to make sure there is no dangerous

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?

first try = first failure 😅

the yellow led test was fixed by crocodile wire just to make it easier to adjust in test.

the problem here is the bleeds can not fix with the motor's shaft.

first try.mp4

so to solve that i make a small square cardboard and i fix it with bleeds from the rear and have rectangle in center to fix them with motor's shaft

glow the battery in the rear of bleeds

after many attempts i have fixed it and it work well

finialy work.mp4

build the column of standing

by using sticks i have fixed the dc motor with stand column.

on the bottom of stand i will hide the bread board and all electric components.

i try to attach every single wire to avoid mess wiring

so it is time to finish it with all sides of cardboard.

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)

in sumo rc car while my team were building H bridge the motor was turn on just forward and it didn't response when we push two other buttons to turn backwards, so we were troubleshooting all wires, buttons and jumpers to get where is the problem and we figured out that there were two jumpers didn't work and we solve issues by replacing them

Final Project

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

the finial shape is amazing i really love it, because it was filled with obstacles but finally it comes up.

WOW!

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

the sumo RC car fight was a really the coolest thing in the week, it was filled with exciting moments.

our car design was not the best sure but we were the winner of the fight due to light weight, stability and balanced on the flat surface.
