Week 06- Journal

• The idea of the assignment is to make a small model for a door that can sense the presence of the person before entrance and exit which is inspired by the transparent photocell door sensor door found at malls. Enjoy!

There are 1  software and 3 inspired website  used:

Tinkercad: used to make a virtual circuit and simulate it before applying it to check if it is applicable or not and to make a wiring diagram for the circuit of the device.

2. Google : used to find inspirational ideas and ways to apply them and search for solutions for problems faced. 

3. Pinterest: used to find inspirational ideas and ways to apply them and search for solutions for problems faced. 

4. Autodesk Instructables: used to find inspirational ideas and ways to apply them and search for solutions for problems faced. 

5.Arduino IDE: to verify the code and upload it to Arduino 

There are 2  main Material used:

1. CardBoard sheets 

2. PVC Roll as transparent material for lights.

• The creation of the circuit on TinkerCad:

• The circuit contains 3 different components (Ultrasonic, LED and servomotor  )

• the circuit gives us 1 input : Ultrasonic sensors

• The circuit gives us 2 output: servomotor movement, and LED .

• I used color coding, red for positive and black for negative, and others to differentiate between eath functions. 

• The voltage of the power supply is 9 volts for Arduino.

• Connecting the components in the channel as shown in the figure.
