Week 6# - 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)

INSPO

Street Lighting with Motion Sensors :

When vehicles or pedestrians pass, the road is illuminated for them.

MAIN IDEATION :

Proximity sensor works using ultrasonic sensor and LED

Making Magic with Easy Arduino Project using LED Strip and Ultrasonic Sensor #diy #arduino.mp4

From Real on YouTube

Tool Chain

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

TinkerCad

I used it to simulate the electrical circuit before implementing it.

Software

Arduino Uno

To write the code taken from TinkerCAD and transfer it to be implemented using Arduino board

Electrical tools:

LED

Ultrasonic sensor

Arduino UNO

Jumper Wires

Arduino cable

Resistance

Mini Breadboard

Small Breadboard

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?

Design on Tinkercad :

1) Open tinker cad

2) Enter the components used in it.

3) Connecting Ultrasonic to Arduino.

4)Connecting resistors to LEDs with Arduino.

Code blocks on Tinkercad :

1)ChatGPT helped me build my first block using (variables )

2) use ( set.. pin )Four times the number of LEDs.

3) use (if .. else) And put the distance equation in it.

4)Place the four LED blocks in(if .. else)and adjust them (high or low) .

What does the block do? 🤔

Definition of a variable called (distance)... It will be measured by the ultrasonic sensor... with the definition of its basic PINs.

Using the if function.
If the distance = 5. .. the LED (pin2) will open. choose *high*
the other LEDs are closed .. chose *low*

wait 1 sec

Using the else .
If the distance was not = 5
all the LED will closed. choose *low*.

The same condition is made at each required distance ( 10, 15, 20) with increasing LEDs lit.

Min Logic : 🔔

*Block mode combines the required distance and sensor reading.

*When the sensor reads a distance of 5cm. only the first LED lights up. 1sec

*When the sensor reads a distance of t10cm... two LEDs light up. 1sec

*When the sensor reads a distance of 15cm... three LEDs light up. 1sec

*When the sensor reads a distance of t20cm... four LEDs light up. 1sec

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?

Convert the block code to text code...... and enter it into the Arduino C

Build the actual electrical circuit

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?

The idea of using an ultrasonic sensor after EOWeek Session

is brilliant.

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?

problem:

When starting the simulation, the LED does not light up. Noticeable light.

Reason:

Error in writing the code.. I did not put a second stability (Wait ...sec).... and I also used(if..then ) instead of( if ... else ).

Title of Media

Final Project

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

I learned more about how to operate the sensor and integrate it into the electrical circuit.🤩

WOW!

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

The team names were creative.😂😂

Thanks Menna Asker ❤️🤝😂

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.

Games are taking over🥳.

lovely family 😍
