Week 7 - Journal

Ideation

Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What inspired you? (Please include images or links to sources of inspiration)

In this week I understand Arduino Code structure and write Arduino C code syntax correctly. And that helped me to do my assignment.

I got my assignment idea from my final project, Make an interaction plant but using LEDs and Arduino and alarm system using buzzer and motor.

That assignment is a same of Week6 assignment but a changed the sensor and attach dc motor to it make the role of water pump.

Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use in the assignment? Why?

I used Arduino 1.8.15.
The materials which I used is Arduino, RGB LEDs, Resistors, buzzer, Servo motor, temperature sensor, dc motor, L298N Driver Module, breadboard and jumpers.

Design/Preparation Process

Explain the design and/or preparation process of your assignment. How did you use the tool or software to design and/or prepare your assignment before fabrication/implementation?

1- I make the circuit in tinkercad and I used photoshop to put L298N Driver module with my circuit.

2- Using Arduino 1.8.15. to make the code I made it ii 2 parts.

Part1: I made the emoji code according to temperature sensor

When temp.>29 making sad face
When temp.<29 making happy face

Part 2: attach other components

The action is making the motor display.

I made manual using by using push button and switch between manual and automatic using switch.

Development/Implementation Process

Explain the development/implementation process of your assignment. How did you use the machine/tool to manufacture or implement the design of your assignment?

1- I tested part 1 to make sure the code is working.

2- I connected all parts.

3- I made an enclosure from cardboard.

3- Finally tested the final product

Community of Learning

Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

In EOW session I didn't make the circuit and it was too hard to connect all components and my instructor amany helped me to understand the connections like L298N Driver module and she encourage me to making the connection again and that helped me to make that assignment

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?

In tis week I got stuck a lot

1- I made the code and test it in real circuit and it work perfect but when I made the enclosure it didn't work and because of it was a lot of wires I didn't know the error so I connect all wires totally again more than one time.

2- the motors wires was unconnected once and connected another "it is a problem in motor".

Final Project

How can you use the skills and knowledge that you've acquired this week in your final project?

In my final project I will make a spare time to make a troubleshooting because when the circuit put in an enclosure it never work from first time.

WOW!

What is the coolest thing that you've learned this week? What is something that you will never forget from this week?

Making a LEDs controller by using push buttons and potentiometer
