                                  DESIGN   
                                           
                                          -For my
                                  final project i need a proximity
                                  sensor which we don't have example
                                  for. So i looked for some examples
                                  online, most of  
                                   them were complicated i couldn't
                                  follow.On this link
                                  i found the simplest one, basically it
                                  works with ULTRASONIC waves. With both
                                  the transmitter 
                                   and the receiver the sensor cant
                                  detect the distance of the surrounding
                                  bodies. But i couldn't find some of
                                  it's components on our inventory  
                                   like the BD135 - BD136 Complementary
                                    low voltage transistor and
                                  the 300Microhenry Conductor. 
                                                    
                                  -As for the conductor it can be easily
                                  done with a certain formula find it on
                                  that
                                  link but as for
                                                          the transistor
                                                          it cant be
                                                          replaced  
                                                           with any
                                                          of those we
                                                          have in the
                                                          lab. 
                                                             
              
                                           
                                                           
                                                           
                                        
                                                          -So i decided
                                                          to put that
                                                          aside and try
                                                          with a
                                                          different
                                                          sensor  
                                                          for this week
                                                          but keep
                                                          researching
                                                          for my final
                                                          project. I
                                                          decided to add
                                                          a light
