Week# 4 - Journal

POWERING THINGS USING ELECTRONS

Ideation

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

Assignment's ideas : make circuits project switch between two devices (led and buzzer) when i turn on the led the buzzer should be off and when i turn on the buzzer the led will be off.

i inspired my idea from Sample project Ideas (7-Segment Display with LED Indicators ) .

i Design, simulate, and build a simple electronic device that performs two actions at the same time by switch.

Tool Chain

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

i used tenkarCad to simulate the circuits and check it then i used the breadboard and components to make the circuits in real.

the components :

breadboard.
power adaptor 6V.
4 wires.
resistors.
LEDs.
Buzzer.

7.Slideswitch.

Design Process

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

VID_20210207_102915.mp4

this video simulate the circuits in tenkarCad and show the components (the power supply and buzzer and wires and led and resistor and slide switch.

and below the schematic diagram of my circuit .

and I used ohm's law to calculate current and resistance.

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?

the image explane the circuits and how it word.

i collect the compenents in the breadboard "led and wire and resistor and buzzer and slideswitch and power supply after i calculate the resistant and current using ohm law and multimeter"

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?

my instructors helped me on how to connect RGB LED the .because my academic background is not engineering, but by watching a lot of videos and asking my partner in the group they helped me many times to understand the component and how I use it ,

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 encountered some difficulties in linking electrical physics with electronic components in the beginning, because my academic background is not engineering, but by watching a lot of videos and asking my colleagues in the group, I was able to connect them and began to use electronic components in a good manner, which helped me in solving the practical Assignment's .

Final Project

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

now i can use the electrical components that i need in my project like leds and sensors to make simple circuits .

now I can use ohm low to calculate the circuits .

using multimeters

using tenkarCAD to simulate the circuits .

WOW!

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

make my first circuits successfully.

Weekly Digest [OPTIONAL]

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