The objective of week #5 was to design an electric circuit to mimic an electric fan with LED. The circuit is controlled used three buttons.
I got inspiration from Google as seen in the pics.

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?
I used TinkerCad to build and simulate the electronic circuit. Then, I used the electronic kit to build the actual circuit. For the mounting of the electric components, I used cardboards.
Electric components includes:
Push buttons
Electric Fan
Led
Adaptor

The designing process of the circuit
I opened TinkerCad and inserted the breadboard, first.
I inserted a powersource and adjusted the voltage to 5V.
I connected the negative and positive terminals to the negative and positive lanes of breadboard.
Then, I placed three buttons and connected them parallelly.
I placed a fan in the breadboard, connected the positive terminal to the positive lane in the breadboard and the negative terminal to the second button.
I placed a led in the breadboard, connected the positive terminal to the positive lane in the breadboard and the negative terminal to the third button connected to a 220 ohm resistor.
Output components:
Led
Fan
Development/Implementation Process
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?

The implementation process:
I took the dimensions of the fan and the led to prepare for the cardboard mounting.
I selected the components from the electronic kit.
I mounted all components as per the design.
Then, I connected the adaptor as a power source.
I placed the fan and the led inside in the cardboard design.
I tested the circuit as in the video attached.
Overcoming Challenges
Overcoming Challenges
When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this assignment?

For the mounting of the fan, I had a challenge to place the fan into a cardboard block without glowing it. Then, I made a cut exactly matching the dimensions of the fan inside the cardboard. Hence, the fan exactly fitted inside the space.
