INTRODUCTION TO ARDUINO
BOARD
Defining Arduino: Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform in
electronics based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Subtly
speaking, Arduino is a microcontroller based prototyping board which
can be used in developing digital devices that can read inputs like finger
on a button, touch on a screen, light on a sensor etc. and turning it in to
output like switching on an LED, rotating a motor, playing songs
through a speaker etc

The Arduino board can be programmed to do anything by simply


programming the microcontroller on board using a set of instructions for
which, the Arduino board consists of a USB plug to communicate with
your computer and a bunch of connection sockets that can be wired to
external devices like motors, LEDs etc.

7|Page
The aim of Arduino is to introduce the world of electronics to people
who have small to no experience in electronics like hobbyists, designers,
artists etc.

Arduino is based on open source electronics project i.e. all the design
specifications, schematics, software are available openly to all the users.
Hence, Arduino boards can bought from vendors as they are
commercially available or else you can make your own board by if you
wish i.e. you can download the schematic from Arduino’s official
website, buy all the components as per the design specification,
assemble all the components, and make your own board.

HOW TO PROGRAM AN ARDUINO?

The Arduino tool window consists of the toolbar with the buttons like
verify, upload, new, open, save, serial monitor. It also consists of a text
editor to write the code, a message area which displays the feedback like
showing the errors, the text console which displays the output and a
series of menus like the File, Edit, Tools menu. Thus the code is
uploaded by the bootloader onto the microcontroller.

 LM35 is a temperature measuring device having an analog
output voltage proportional to the temperature.
 It provides output voltage in Centigrade (Celsius). It does not
require any external calibration circuitry.
 The sensitivity of LM35 is 10 mV/degree Celsius. As
temperature increases, output voltage also increases.

            E.g. 250 mV means 25°C.

 It is a 3-terminal sensor used to measure surrounding


temperature ranging from -55 °C to 150 °C.
 LM35 gives temperature output which is more precise than
thermistor output.

INTRODUCTION
The project is based on the working of temperature controller using
LM35 and fan ascooler. The circuit automatically senses the
temperature and works normally within a particulartemperature range.
Above that range the sensor produces a signal and automatically turns
on thecooling fan to control the testing temperature. 0-100°C electronic

be controlled with the help of a LM35 [Link] LM35

series are precision integrated-circuit temperature sensors, whose output
voltage islinearly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade) temperature.
The LM35 thus has an advantage
over linear temperature sensors calibrated in˚ Kelvin, as the user
is not required to

LM35 is an analog, linear temperature sensor whose output


voltage varies linearly with change in temperature. LM35 is
three terminal linear temperature sensor from National
semiconductors. It can measure temperature from-55 degree
celsius to +150 degree celsius. The voltage output of the LM35
increases 10mV per degree Celsius rise in temperature. LM35
can be operated from a 5V supply and the stand by current is
less than 60uA. The pin out of  LM35 is shown in the figure
below.

So that’s all info you need about LM35 for this particular
temperature display project using arduino uno. So lets get to
LM35 temperature sensor interfacing with arduino!

We are using Arduino Uno as our board and LM35 can be


connected to arduino as shown in circuit diagram.

12 | P a g e
Note:- LM35 is an analog temperature sensor. This means the
output of LM35 is an analog signal. Microcontrollers dont
accept analog signals as their input directly. We need to convert
this analog output signal to digital before we can feed it to a
microcontroller’s input. For this purpose, we can use an
ADC( Analog to Digital Converter).If we are using a basic
microcontroller like 8051, we need to use an external ADC to
convert analog output from LM35 to digital. We then feed the
output of ADC ( converted digital value) to input of 8051. But
modern day boards like Arduino and most modern day micro
controllers come with inbuilt ADC. Our arduino uno has an in
built 10 bit ADC (6 channel). We can make use of this in built
ADC of arduino to convert the analog output of LM35 to digital
output. Since Arduino uno has a 6 channel inbuilt ADC, there
are 6 analog input pins numbered from A0 to A5. Connect
analog out of LM35 to any of these analog input pins of arduino.

METHODOLOGY:
All the modules used in the above block diagram are
integrated. The fan speed can be monitored by the variation
of temperature. Basic concept of this project is to getting the
temperature, displaying the temperature and temperature
change is reflected as vary in fan’s speed. Here temperature
sensor used in the project is LM35 and the o/p of this sensor
is given to analog to digital converter. The complete working
is allowed or not can be decided by external interrupts.
Temperature sensor LM35 is interfaced with the 8051
microcontroller’s analog pin because, temperature sensor
changes temperature into voltage. Here temperature sensor
should be interfaced correctly to the microcontroller in
order to get correct reading. The speed of the fan can be
decided by the temperature examine by the microcontroller.

15 | P a g e
Microcontroller controls the DC fan using the IC L293D
motor control. This IC L293D is a dual H-bridge motor
driver used to control the speed and direction of DC motor.
It also offers isolation between microcontroller and motor.
Motor speed can be controlled by using the pulse width
modulation (PWM) technique. The proposed system is also
provided with auto or manual switch which gives the option
to user to control the speed of fan. When the button is
pressed, the speed can controlled by manually that means
user can control the fan speed manually. An LED can also
be connected at RC1 to demonstrate the status of auto or
manual switch. If light emitting diode is blinking, it means
the fan control is manual. So finally we can conclude that,
when the power supply is given to the entire circuit then the
microcontroller reads the surrounding temperature of fan.
The analog value of the temperature is given by the sensor
and applied to the ADC pin of microcontroller. The value of
analog is changed to the digital by the microcontroller
internally. If the temperature is superior to the threshold
value, then microcontroller sends a signal to the controller to
turn ON the motor. Thus fan starts rotating.

The temperature sensor used in the proposed system is
LM35. The o/p of this temperature sensor is linearly
proportional to the Celsius scale. This IC doesn’t need any
external calibration to give accuracies. The main function of
the temperature sensor in the proposed system is to detect
the temperature of external environment of fan. The
properties of temperature controlled fan mainly includes the
following When the temperature surpasses 25 ᵒ C then fan
should run at max speed. When the temperature drops
below 25 ᵒ C then fan should be stopped.

Common questions

Powered by AI

The LM35 temperature sensor offers several advantages for a temperature control system. Firstly, it provides an output voltage linearly proportional to the Celsius temperature, making it very straightforward to use without needing conversion from other temperature scales like Kelvin . Additionally, it does not require any external calibration circuitry, which simplifies the design and increases precision . The LM35 is designed to be operated over a wide temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, and it has a high accuracy compared to thermistors, providing a more precise output . Furthermore, the sensitivity of LM35 is 10 mV per degree Celsius, allowing for fine granularity in temperature measurement .

The Arduino platform facilitates the creation of digital devices for temperature control systems by providing an easy-to-use open-source electronics platform that integrates both hardware and software elements. It allows the reading of various analog inputs from sensors like the LM35 and processes these inputs through its inbuilt ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) to produce digital outputs, necessary for precise temperature monitoring and control . The platform is equipped with a USB plug for easy programming and a range of sockets for connecting external devices like fans and LEDs, which enables automation without needing extensive electronic expertise . Arduino's open-source nature means users can modify and upgrade their systems freely, using well-documented libraries and community support to create complex control systems efficiently .

The project's architecture supports scalability for various environmental control applications through its modular design, leveraging Arduino's open-source platform and a minimal component approach. The use of widely compatible sensors like the LM35 and flexible control logic implemented via Arduino's programming language allows the system to be easily adapted for different power outputs or additional environmental inputs like humidity or light sensors . The project's reliance on standard interfacing techniques, such as PWM for motor control and integrated ADC for data conversion, means that it can be easily expanded to manage additional devices or larger systems while maintaining consistent performance and control logic . Moreover, offering both automatic and manual control modes allows for easy customization based on specific operational environments or user preferences, further enhancing the project's adaptability across diverse applications .

The Arduino-based temperature control system can benefit a wide range of practical applications owing to its compactness, low component usage, and cost-effectiveness. It is suitable for air conditioners where efficient temperature regulation is essential. Water heaters can utilize this system to maintain desired temperature levels, thus preventing energy wastage . Additionally, it can be applied in snow-melting systems to control heating elements based on ambient temperature changes. Industrial applications like heat-exchangers, incubators, ovens, and mixers can employ this system for precise process control and energy conservation . Moreover, veterinary operating tables and thermal baths can utilize this technology to ensure patient comfort and care by maintaining optimal temperatures .

The Arduino UNO's built-in ADC simplifies the temperature sensing process with the LM35 sensor by directly converting the analog voltage output from the LM35 into a digital value that the Arduino can process. This eliminates the need for external conversion hardware, which simplifies the project design and reduces component count and overall cost . The Arduino UNO has six analog input pins that are connected to its ADC, allowing for direct interfacing with multiple sensors, enhancing the system's modularity and flexibility. This integration allows for real-time temperature monitoring and control directly through the Arduino software, facilitating quick adjustments and improving the system's responsiveness .

The integration of auto and manual switches into the temperature control system enhances its usability by providing flexibility for the user to control the fan speed either automatically, based on processed temperature data, or manually, according to personal comfort preferences or specific operational requirements . In automatic mode, the system operates independently, adjusting the fan speed as needed to manage temperature efficiently without user intervention. In contrast, the manual mode allows users full control over the fan speed, making it possible to override automatic controls for immediate changes. This dual-mode operation ensures the system can meet varying user needs, from those requiring a hands-off approach to those needing full control over environmental factors . Moreover, an LED indicator can display the current operational mode, providing clear feedback to users about the system status .

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) plays a critical role in controlling the speed of the fan within the temperature control project by varying the average power delivered to the fan's motor. The microcontroller generates a PWM signal, which dictates the proportion of time the motor is powered on versus powered off, effectively controlling the speed of the fan . This method allows for smooth and precise control over the fan's speed, which is directly related to the sensed temperature changes by the LM35 sensor. By adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM signal based on temperature readings, the fan speed can be continuously modulated to match the desired cooling requirements, achieving efficient temperature regulation .

The implementation of the described temperature control system can substantially enhance energy efficiency through several mechanisms. By dynamically adjusting fan speed according to real-time temperature data obtained from the LM35 sensor, the system ensures that energy consumption is minimized during lower temperature conditions when full fan power is unnecessary . This targeted control reduces overall electrical demand, leading to potential significant reductions in electricity costs. Furthermore, by maintaining optimal temperature levels, the system minimizes the thermal cycling often seen in conventional heating or cooling systems, thereby further reducing average power consumption and enhancing the lifespan of both the electronic and mechanical components involved . The compactness and minimal component usage contribute to reduced power loss across the system, ensuring that it operates efficiently even in prolonged usage scenarios .

Potential future enhancements for the project to improve efficiency and performance could include integrating wireless connectivity features for remote monitoring and control, allowing temperature adjustments across a network or via smart devices . Additionally, implementing machine learning algorithms could enable predictive modeling of temperature trends, leading to more proactive control adjustments and more efficient energy use. Upgrading the system to support multiple sensors can adjust control for localized environments more precisely. The incorporation of advanced power management ICs can further reduce energy consumption by optimizing power delivery to components based on demand variations . Finally, utilizing more precise digital temperature sensors could enhance measurement accuracy and reliability, leading to better control outcomes .

The use of an H-bridge motor driver like the L293D is significant in the temperature control system's fan operation due to its ability to control both the speed and direction of the fan motor. The L293D allows for bidirectional control of the fan's rotation, essential for applications where reversing the fan's direction may be needed to optimize airflow . It provides electrical isolation between the microcontroller and the motor, thereby protecting sensitive electronic components from potential back emf (electromotive force) generated by the motor . Additionally, the L293D supports PWM control, facilitating seamless adjustments in fan speed according to real-time temperature inputs, essential for maintaining efficient temperature regulation with minimal energy consumption .
