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)

The inspiration :I think about making a funny game for my little sister , Using components like LEDs & Fan & switch to make something like blower with a cartoon face

This design is suitable

Tool Chain

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

Tinker cad icon

LED

5v DC fan

220 ohm resistors

on/off switch

5v adaptor

jumper wires

crocodile wires

bread board

Software

Tinker cad : to simulate the circuit before connecting it to avoid any errors in the circuit connection

Materials

Cardboard & scissors, a pencil, cutter , thick paper to make the body of Hovercraft: for the maket

LEDs : the eyes of the game cartoon

DC Fan 5v: blower

Resistors :reduce the voltage to be suitable for the leds

switch : on/off the game

small bread board & jumper wires & crocodiles :Wires the components together

5v adaptor : reduce the 220 volt to 5 volt to be suitable for the components

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?

Thinking

1-Start with brainstorming and detecting the electricity path ,and detect the type of connection

2-draw the circuit and imagine the current direction

Tinker cad

1-start to simulate the circuit on tinker cad to detect any errors

2-The connections are :

LEDs: Two LED with parallel connection

resistance: series with the LEDs (to reduce voltage only to LEDs)

DC 5V fan : parallel with the lamps

Switch : series connection to control all the circuit

5v Adaptor : -connect it on the bread board on the -ve& +ve sides

-The fan is 5v so it doesn't need resistance

-The 2V two LEDs need resistance ,so I put 330 ohm resistor

3-start simulation

4-LEDs light & fan revolves 💡 ✅

Outputs : (2 out puts )

LED ---emitting light

DC fan ----Motion

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?

Connections
Start to connect the components together like in tinker cad simulation
LEDs: Two LED with parallel connection
resistance: series with the LEDs (to reduce voltage only to LEDs)
DC 5V fan : parallel with the lamps
Switch : series connection to control all the circuit
5v Adaptor : -connect it on the bread board on the -ve& +ve sides
-The fan is 5v so it doesn't need resistance
-The 2V two LEDs need resistance ,so I put 330 ohm resistor

Card boarding
detect the dimensions of the bread board
make a box using card board with openings to put --on/off switch

--two LEDs (eyes)

--adaptor entrance

Joining
put the bread board and the components in the box
put the fan in its place
try the device befor sticking the sides
stick the sides and try it again
playyy🤩

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 we worked in teams in the offline session to make a race car

* I helped my team in designing process on fusion 360

* They helped me in the electronic connections

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 problem:

-The wires of the LED are not well connected

-They need glue or something to stick the wires with the LEDs

The reason :

-The opening of the jumper wire is larger than the LED pin

The solution:

-Stick the wire and the LED with stuck ,I tried two types

the double face was stronger

Final Project

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

* In the process of designing the circuit of the smart planter and connecting the sensors together I will use tinker cad to simulate the circuit before connecting it to avoid any errors

* I will need the basic information about circuits connections and electrons to imagine the path of the electricity in the project circuit

Tinker cad icon

WOW!

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

Its my first time to deal with electronics and try to connect them in circuit.

Dealing with tinker cad is enjoyable , I try to connect different connections without being afraid to lose any components

Weekly Digest

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.

-The coolest thing is the race car that we made in the offline session
