Vacuum Handheld
I get my Design for electronic device from Assignment requirements that may serve a need at your home and performs two actions.
I get my Design for electronic device from Assignment requirements that may serve a need at your home and performs two actions.
I found Vacuum Handheld suitable for implemented using the electrons in kit we have, because The vacuum cleaner is a motor with a fan that sucks in air and with it sucks in dust and collects it in a bag, preventing the dust from passing through the motor.
I can apply what I learned this week and the previous weeks while implementing it.

The video shows how the device works
The device sucks the dust using the motor, the rotation of the motor makes the fan suck the air inward, and the air passes through the cloth filter
It allows the air to pass through and exit from the openings at the end of the bottle, while the dust is held back and prevented from reaching the motor.
After finishing the suction, open the bottle cap and get rid of the dust accumulated on the filter.
the led mention that the device working
the filter easy to remove to clean or replace and install again
the filter held back the dust and prevented from reaching the motor

Be careful when handling sharp tools such as cutters and scissors.
Also be careful with materials that are cut such as cans.
always keep hands away sharp edges
I was cut in my finger while cutting a cans, as the edge is very sharp.
Overcoming Challenges
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?

After finish the device, I tested it to check if it succeeded or not.
I noticed that it barely sucks the dust with difficulty.
By reviewing and analyzing the problem, I concluded that I used a 5v DC motor which was so weak to perform it's required.
In order for the device to achieve its function, which is to suck the dust, it needs a motor with a higher voltage.
I found another 9V motor "DC Geared Motor" in the kit
I tried it and got the ideal result.

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?
This week I learned how to make an electrical circuit that contains more than one element and how to connect them and the difference between series and parallel.
This will be reflected in the design of the project and the creation of a successful electrical circuit.
WOW!

Making Pinball Using Cardboard
The design includes adding electronic parts and showing them in the design and taking into account their place in the design such as a screen, Arduino and wires and make opening for its USB and Power sockets
The design also includes a mechanism for the movement of the arms that lift the ball up
It also includes a pusher for the ball when it falls and the arms cannot catch it
Making many moving bumpers and using skewer stick to move them by hand
