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)

This week assignment was about design, simulate, and build a simple electronic device that performs two actions. an electronic device that performs two actions.

I got my inspiration after watching this video.

in my Assignment idea I tried to make something very similar to device we use in our daily life so I decide to make a Mini hand blender.

Tool Chain

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

Empty pack of gum

Mini wire whisker

A cap of sun screen

Push bottom switch

Green LED

DC Motor

Resistor 220

Jumper wires

BreadBoard

Adaptor 9V

AutoDesk TinkerCad

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?

After I decide the project idea I start to design the circuit on Tinker Cad.
It is consist of:
Input: switch
Output: DC Motor - LED - resistor
Power Tool: 9V Power supply

Circuit Type: Parallel

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?

I transfer the circuit into bread board and test everything is working

Then I prepared all the tools I will need.

Make a hole for DC Motor

Also a hole for fix whisk stick

Insert the DC moto in the pack

Filled the cap with glue.

Fixing the whisk in the cap

Installing the cap onto the motor.

A hole for push button

Inserting the push button

Also Hole for LED

Connecting the wires to the components

Mount all in box

Put the switch

The Final Project

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?

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 I finished everything and tested the device, the speed of the motor was very slow.
I tested the motor without attaching the whisk, and it had a normal speed, but when I attached the whisk, it became very slow.

Solution: I tried changing the power supply from 5V to 9V, and the speed was perfect.

With power: 5V

With power: 9V

Final Project

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

WOW!

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

From those...

To This...

Our homes have many things that can be Recycled for other useful purposes.

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.
