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.
