Design an automatic temperature control system for smart TudungSaji using arduino microcontroller
This paper presents an innovative design of a prototype TudungSaji that involves both hardware and software development. This project is designed an effective TudungSaji is able to maintain the food warm and to protect food from pests like flies and rats. Smart TudungSaji uses an Arduino microcontroller to produce an automated function. The main parts of this project consist of chassis, 2 sensors which are temperature sensor LM35 and limit switch sensor as an inputs, the ATmega328p microcontroller and 2 bulbs as an outputs. This is to ensure the warming process operates more efficiently and effectively. The algorithm is developed and implemented with Arduino Uno. It is really practical for human, especially working woman to make their life simpler. This project helps people to keep their food warm and it is portable to bring anywhere. The performance of this project was validated with the simulation circuit using Proteus 6 Lite, and the results and findings from conducting experiments on the prototype. The bulbs are activated by the LM35 sensor detected temperature below 60oC.Then, the bulbs will automatically off when temperature reaches upper 60oC.This project uses 240V 100W bulb as a heating element. It can be improvised by replacing bulbs with thermistor coil. The thermistor coil can produce more heat energy because of the material of the coil, for example in the oven.
