Mixer
A mixer is a kitchen device that uses a rotating mechanism to prepare food or liquids by mixing them.
I used Tinkercad to simulate the circuit
After that, I used Breadboard to see the working of the circuit.
Tools used are DC motor 5V, switch, resistor 330 ohms, LED light, and adaptor 5V.
I used Cardboard as enclosure to the circuit after finished it.

During this week, I worked with the team which made a great effort and we helped each other. We designed a RC car.
The lantern combines two parts:
The electronic circuit which is a H-bridge
The Laser cut body
RC car
When I got stuck, I asked Ahmed or Farida to help me.
Challenge 1
When I did my assignment, I faced a challenge connecting the motor to the circuit because I initially connected the motor in parallel with the adaptor. So the motor worked when the supply was applied, and this is my mistake because you must control this circuit with a switch. After that, I connected the motor in series with the switch and in parallel with the branch (Led in series with a resistor). So finally I controlled the circuit with my switch.
Challenge 2
I faced a problem when we made an RC car base in Fusion 360 in the laser cutter, the holes that I did were 3 mm but in fact, I needed 5 mm at least for the jumpers. So, I used the Makita Cordless Drill to expand the holes. Sometimes I take a pause and start researching RC cars.
We can avoid this problem when we do the assignment.
Focusing on how to combine electrical, mechanical, and enclosure parts are the skills and knowledge that I have acquired this week in my final project.
The coolest thing that I have learned this week is how to design an RC car and prepare electrical, mechanical, and enclosure.
Measurement of the base holes is the thing that I will never forget from this week.
