Week # 6 - Journal

Ideation

Tell us about your assignment's idea for this week. Why do you care about this idea? What were you inspired by?

the assignment was to Program an Arduino UNO to read a signal from a single input component

I wanted to Make the idea of the music box when the sensor is on it play sound and rotate

but in the assignment it's required to use one action so it's gonna rotate only

Tool Chain

Which software/machines/materials did you use this week? Why?

Softwares: Tinkercad to simulate the circuit before phisically doing it

Arduino IDE

Materials:

Breadboard, Arduino, Motor, Sensor -i wanted to use tilt at first bu ended using photoresistor module-,Jumper Wires

Tinkercad

Sensor

servo motor

Design Process

Explain the design process of your assignment. How did you use the tool/software to design and/or simulate your assignment?

First I googled some previous examples to help
some examples were applicable
I decided to use Tilt sensor with dc motor The Idea was when the box is opened the sensor will move and the motor will rotate
When I tested the the tilt sensor with LED it didn't work
I Replaced it with photoresistor Module so when the box i opened the Motor will work
the DC Motor was Rotating so fast when I used L298N it didn't work

When the speed was less than 100 the motor needed to be pushed I don't know why :'D

Tilt Sensor

Dc Motor Problem

I Connected The servo to GND 5V and pin A0
I Connected The Sensor to GND 5V and pin A0
Programmed the Arduino
Tested on TinkerCad

Connection on Tinker Cad

I Used old Processing code to help me make the code - As processing is the only programming experience I have-

we need to use variable to make servo rotate on slower motion
We need While to make the first condition to check the sensor
the If is used to make the servo rotate 1 degree each time and the servo only rotates 180 so when it reaches this it goes back to zero
if the while loop is not happening - the sensor is off- the servo will stop in its position

Code on Tinker Cad

Processing Code

I tried to make the servo rotate back in the same speed it did but the problem was in the condition

Fabrication/Implementation Process

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

I connected the circuit as in tinker cad
uploaded the code from arduino

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?

I had a problem Connecting the DC Motor I asked one of my Peers to Turn out I connected wrong wires

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 project?

I didn't know all the components in the Kits so I used Google to define which was which

Final Project

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

i guess the final project should have Arduino So this week Knowledge will be used

WOW!

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

Tinker cad Blocks For Programming, It was simple to use

Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]

Tell us about any other cool things that you've made this week: Pre-activity, examples, exercises, or any mini-projects.

I was so happy with the 3D printed holder it looked so cool :D
