This week my assessment revolves around making a circuit
I get inspired by Sewing machines because I have a passion for learning sewing
electric component for making the circuit ( led /breadboard / resistor / dc motor/Lots of wires / 5 v adaptor for powering the circuit )
Thinker cad for designing the circuit
cardboard and Scotch tape for shaping the circuit and string for applying the circuit
I started the design on Thinker CAD using the previous components I have explained: LED/breadboard/resistor / DC motor/Lots of wires / 5 v adaptor for powering the circuit ) then I started stimulation to ensure the circuit worked.
I made a parallel circuit. because the max current amber for the LED is 20 ma. in this circuit, we have 330 ohms resistant so when we use the 5 v the led current will be less than 20 ma.
After ensuring the circuit works on THINKER CAD I made the circuit on a breadboard and connected it to 5 v power to ensure the circuit works. the DC motor can bear to 18 v but I chose 5v power for the DC because I didn't want the DC motor in full power to control its movement in the circuit.
after that, I cut the cardboard, inserted the circuit inside it, and tried it to ensure everything worked together.
yes. I asked for feedback on making my circuit about which component I would engage with the DC motor and my peer helped me with it by choosing the led with the DC motor.
I got stuck while making the circuit in Thinkercad I made a mistake inside the circuit and the LED exploded, then I checked out the circuit viewed the learning video again, and corrected it by making surethe 330 ohm resisent is connected to the LED and the LED not in connented direct to the ground.
I can use these skills in designing the circuit of my final project by using thinker cad and the electric components.
The coolest thing is how easily I can make a circuit
I will never forget the first time I made a parallel circuit and made two components work together.
