The objective of week #8 was to develop a Bluetooth controlled electric circuit to control a RGB Led and a Buzzer.
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 the standard breadboard.
For the specific electric components, here they are:
Ardunio Uno
Bluetooth Module
Buzzer
RGB Led

The designing process of the circuit
I opened TinkerCad and inserted the breadboard, first.
I connected the Arduino positive (5V) and negative (GND) terminals to the negative and positive lanes of breadboard.
I placed a buzzer in the breadboard, connected the positive terminal to terminal no. 5 and the negative terminal to the common ground.
I placed a RGB led in the breadboard, connected the
R >> Resistor 220 Ohm >> Terminal 8
G >> Resistor 220 Ohm >> Terminal 9
B >> Resistor 220 Ohm >> Terminal 10
and the negative terminal connected to the common ground.I developed the code using the IDE.
Input Components:
Bluetooth Module
Output Components:
RGB Led
Buzzer

The implementation process:
I selected the components from the electronic kit.
I mounted all components as per the design.
Then, I connected the Arduino to the PC and uploaded the code.
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?

When first uploaded the code, the buzzer was neither effective nor responding as expected. After investigation, I figured out that the +/- terminals were exchanged. Hence, I adjusted the connections for the circuit to function properly.
