Mar 26, 2018 - Oscar Gonzalez gives us a simple tutorial for speed controlling a PC FAN and reading a LM35 temperature sensor with an Arduino.

In this arduino based project, we are going to control DC fan speed according to the room temperature and show these parameter changes on a 16x2 LCD display. It is accomplished by the data communications between Arduino, LCD, DHT11 sensor Module and DC fan that is controlled by using PWM. PWM is a technique by using which we can control voltage. Circuit Components • Arduino UNO • DHT11 sensor • DC Fan • 2n2222 transistor • 9 volt battery • 16x2 LCD • 1K resistor • Connecting wires This project consists of three sections. One senses the temp erature by using humidity and temperature sensor namely DHT11.

Second section reads the dht11 sensor module’s output and extracts temperature value into a suitable number in Celsiu s scale and control the fan speed by using PWM. And last part of system shows humidity and temperature on LCD and Fan driver. Here in this project we have used a sensor module namely DHT11 that are already have discuss our previous project namely “”. Here we have only used this DHT sensor for sensing temperature, and then programmed our arduino according to the requirements. Working of this project is very simple. We have created PWM at pwm pin of arduino and applied it at base terminal of transistor. Then transistor creates a voltage according to the pwm input.

Make the Universal tool - CARPROG inside have powerful 16-bit MPU and full set of automotive interface drivers. In basic version you will get hardware with extra functions: 12 input/output pins forEEPROM in-circuit programmer, future possibility's to make on the same hardware Microcontroller programmer, Immobiliser Transponder Key programmer with antenna adapter for 125/134 kHz, K-line diagnostic (dashboard odometer programming, immobilizer key programming), CAN line diagnostic,+5V/+12V output, USB, power supply only from USB.

To understand it more simply, if you are applying 5 volt for driving a motor then motor will moving with some speed, now if we reduces applied voltage by 2 means we apply 3 volt to motor then motor speed also decreases. This concept is used in the project to control the voltage using PWM. (To understand more about PWM, check this circuit: ) The main game of PWM is digital pulse with some duty cycle and this duty cycle is responsible for controlling the speed or voltage.

Suppose we have a pule with duty cycle 50% that means it will give half of voltage that we apply. Formula for duty cycle given below: Duty Cycle= Ton/T Where T= total time or Ton+Toff And Ton= On time of pulse (means 1 ) And Toff= Off time of pulse (means 0) Circuit Description Connections of this temperature controlled fan circuit is very simple, here a liquid crystal display is used for displaying temperature and Fan speed Status. LCD is directly connected to arduino in 4-bit mode (Check this tutorial for more details: ). Pins of LCD namely RS, EN, D4, D5, D6 and D7 are connected to arduino digital pin number 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2. And a DHT11 sensor module is also connected to digital pin 12 of arduino.
