This project was developed to control a light bulb heater by using and Arduino UNO, an opto-isolated triac, a LM35 sensor, a light bulb and a cover for the light bulb to maintain the temperture.
Software used:
- Arduino IDE
- Scilab 5.5.0
Hardware used:
- Arduino UNO
- Opto-isolated TRIAC
- A light bulb
- LM35 temperature sensor
After installing Scilab 5.5.0, consider executing the next commands in console:
- atomsInstall("arduino")
- atomsInstall("serial")
- atomsInstall("guimaker")
- atomsInstall("guibuilder")
By using both the arduino and scilab files, serial communication will be achieved.
NOTE: The hardware was already set up, but still I put the components so you could have an idea. I only focused on developing the software.
