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)

Flash LED

The inspiration came for this project.

I need a flashlight to help me with vision, and it can also include an addition like a fan, because I often feel hot due to a lot of walking, so I decided this week to make a flashlight with simple components and an easy electrical circuit so that it helps me.

Tool Chain

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

For Electrical Design

Tinkercad Software for designing the electric circuit

Materials :

1- Breadboard and Jumpers to connect the components.

3- 5V Adaptor to power the circuit.

4-Electric Fan.

5- Light blub.

6- 2 ON/OFF switch

8-Crocodial Wires.

and other plastic materials such as bottle ,and, cutter to make the body.

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?

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?

Cutting the plastic bottle.
After cutting the cover, I installed the breadboard with wires:

Fan installed

On/Off Switch of Fan Connected

Light Blub Connected

Test the Light Blub

Switch of Light Blub

Adaptor Connector

All wires connected

Test all functions

Tap the cut parts

Community of Learning

Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

This week was completely different for me, because I was with Tim for most of it, away from electricity. In general, we started distributing the work, such as Arabic design, and then electrical connections, and frankly, we learned from each other.

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?

The biggest challenge I faced was that the fan switch was directly above the fan, and this caused me to cut a lot of the cover, but I figured out that by sticking it, I could close this slot.

Unfortunately, I opened a slot, and the switch was adjusted to its size, and I almost solved the challenge.

Final Project

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

I will use electronics to measure the percentage of soil moisture. My learning of electronics will provide me with an electrical foundation in the form of an application that will help me in my graduation project.

WOW!

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

The best thing about this week was that I worked on the project at the weekend, and I gathered all the children in the family and taught them how to deal with electronics, and they also worked with me on the project with their hands.

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 design a small racing car and were defeated
