Project III - 11. Thermostat on The Touch Screen LCD (Arduino Based)

Thermostat on The Touch Screen LCD

Thermostat is a tool used to maintain the temperature level in accordance with the set point that has been determined. The temperature is read by the LM35 sensor wich output signal is Analog data. It will be processed by Arduino using ADC, and the result will displayed on the Touchscreen LCD. 3x4 keypad module is use to set the set point valued and it made with Touch Screen on the LCD. To make control fot the heater is used a relay that connected with to Arduino at pin 0. Because pin 0 in Arduino is used as download data, so when the process of downloading, just unplug the connection of pin 0 to Relay so that the download process is work well.

How it Works

1. Connect the Arduino with Peripherals needed
2. Plug in the Power Source on the device
3. Compile and upload the script program above to your arduino

IMPORTANT: WHEN UPLOADING SCRIPT PROGRAMS, UNPLUG RELAY CONNECTIONS TO ARDUINO PIN !

4. Normal LCD conditions display the readable temperature.

5. The heater will turn on if the temperature is less than Set Point value (20 degrees )
6. The heater will turn off\if the temperature is equivalen with set point
