Week 6 - Journal

This week idea was inspired by my graduation project .It was a great chance to learn and save some time to enable me to work on the nice to have features in my project which I found on hackster .
I edited it and began with 2 features
two inputs:-
-switch's
- IR sensor
one out put :-
servo motor
process :-
turning on the switch while the IR sensor is active ... this will activate the servomotor ( open the box )

Tinkercad
I used tinkercad to simulate the circuit and write the code using tinkercad blocks
Materials :-
IR sensor
servo motor
jumpers
large breadboard
5v adapter

My Idea
on pushing the switch button the servo motor will move 90 degrees . that will only happen if the ir sensor is activate .

First :-
I connected the IR sensor and the servo motor to the Arduino.

Using my kit
I connected the servo and the IR sensor to the arduino using large breadboard and jumpers to make suer its working.

IR sensor : at first it was not working so i searched about it and i found two switches with the blue color it allows you to control its resistance and sensitivity .
I edited it and it worked
then I uploaded the code and made suer its working.

Finally ,I connected the switch button to the circuit and VOLA !! it worked .

to save some time later I started with the circuit of my project as the assignment .
