This week, I’m creating a wheel spinner, inspired by moments of hesitation , whether it’s deciding on personal tasks or plans with friends. Instead of always relying on websites to do the spinning, I thought about creating a physical version to make the experience even more fun and interactive!

To design and prepare my assignment, I aimed to make the motor and LED work simultaneously using a switch. I started by simulating the circuit on Tinkercad. Here are the steps I followed:
1. Insert a breadboard: This will act as the base for connecting all components.
2. Add the LED: Place the LED on the breadboard.
3. Insert the power supply: Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the positive terminal of the LED.
4. Add the DC motor: Get the DC motor and connect its positive terminal to the same row as the positive terminal of the LED.
5. Insert a 220-ohm resistor: Connect one leg of the resistor to the negative terminal of the LED. The other leg will be after the separation
6. Add the switch: Place the switch on the breadboard.
- Connect one terminal of the switch to the negative side of the LED (aligned with the resistor).
- Connect the other terminal of the switch to the positive row of the led on the breadboard.
7. Connect the negative terminals:
- Connect the negative terminal of the power supply to the negative row of the breadboard.
- Connect the negative terminal of the DC motor to the row after the switch on the negative side.
Final Result
Outputs : LED light & DC Motor Movement
Voltage : 5V to make spinning not too fast

Following the same steps used in TinkerCad on the breadboard we well get the same result.

This week, I asked Mohanad for feedback to confirm if the components I’ll use when mounting will be connected in parallel. Apart from that, I didn’t collaborate much, but I’m looking forward to contributing and exchanging ideas with my peers in the upcoming weeks!

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 got stuck, I had to rewatch some videos because I didn’t take notes the first time, and I forgot how to properly connect the circuit. This was a good reminder of the importance of taking notes while learning. Fortunately, things went well this week overall, and I was able to get back on track quickly!
