Linked Thermostat Alan Diamond Ravi Patil
Objectives • Temperature sensing device • Multizone capabilities (two) • Heating and Cooling operation • Personal computer software interface • Internet accessible
Applicable Skills • Data Acquisition • Feedback System • Sensor Calibration • AC/DC Circuit Design • Internet Connectivity • JAVA, HC-12 Coding • Project Experience
Temperature Sensing • Radio Shack Model 103-AT (10k @ 25°C) • ± .3°C Precision • -50°C to 110°C Range • Application Range 20°C to 40°C (68°F to 104°F) • Within application range, linear voltage-temperature relationship
Temperature Sensing Using the Steinhart equation and the provided specifications, one can obtain the output voltage of a thermistor.
Heating Unit • Household light bulb with lamp fixture • Standard 75W light bulb • 12VDC activated 10A relay • Activated by HC-12 5VDC signal • Relay driven by common emitter ckt • Relay connected to AC signal from wall outlet
Cooling Unit • Utilizes 2 CPU fans per zone • 110mA, 33W 12VDC fan • One draws in airflow, the other pulls out airflow • Fans driven by common emitter ckt
Zone Construction • 10”x10”x10” cube • Plexiglass material • Sensors in front • Heating in back • Cooling in sides • Wires through back
Serial Interface • Standard RS232 serial port • Interfaced with JAVA • Sun Javax.comm package • Provides serial port class
Preliminary User Interface • PC software interface • Set and view zone temperatures • Accessible over the internet • using remote web server
System Power Consumption • 120VAC wall-powered system • Heating requires 75W • Cooling requires 1.3W • HC-12 requires minimal power
Project Testing • Sensor calibration – received thermistor voltage versus visual thermometer reading (± 2°F ) • Correct heating/cooling functionality according to current temperature • Web server integration • Separate component testing • Full system integration testing
