Abstract:

The aim is to design and develop a temperature control system. It is an useful tool for the researcher, students and all those who are affiliated with control system. This will help them to develop and understand the concepts of the control system. An embedded system is used to control the temperature. This paper includes the design and development of Microcontroller Based Temperature Sensor circuit. Microcontroller which senses temperature and measures it. To Sense the temperature LM35 is used and the output is displayed on LCD. The sensed temperature is compared with the value stored by the set point and the respective reading obtained and temperature verses time graph has been plotted accordingly, Different Materials such as cuboids of 1 cm each of Copper, Zinc, Aluminum Brass were heated for various duty cycles of PWM used from the microcontroller.[1] The various graphs showing relationship between temperature and different parameters have been plotted to validate the accuracy of the system.

Keywords:

Embedded system, Temperature Sensor LM35, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) , Liquid Crystal Display [LCD], etc.
