ABSTRACT

This project is an independent automatic fan INTRODUCTION

speed controller that uses an electronic
circuit made up of an Ardiuno Board to
control the speed of an electric fan in
accordance with the requirements. This
closed-loop feedback control system is
efficient and reliable thanks to the use of
embedded technology. We used the Ardiuno
board for fan speed control because it is
among the most advanced controller circuits.
It senses and transforms it into an electrical
signal that is sent to the micro controller by
the temperature sensor DHT11. The LCD
monitor simultaneously shows the fan speed
in percentage (%) and the sensed
temperature in Celsius.
The project's goal is to use temperature

sketch.
• Read the temperature sensor's DHT11 value
and save it in a variable temp sense.
• Compare the value that is stored with the
threshold that is established to turn on the fan.
• The motor will be in the OFF state if the
temperature sensor value is less than 26°C.
• The motor will be operating at 20% of its
maximum speed if the temperature sensor
reading is equivalent to 26°C.
• The motor will be operating at 40% of its
maximum speed if the temperature sensor
reading is equivalent to 27°C.
• The motor will be operating at 60% of its
maximum speed if the temperature sensor
reading is equivalent to 28°C.
• If the temperature sensor reading is 29°C or
higher, the motor will be operating at 80% of its
maximum speed.
• If the temperature sensor reading exceeds
29°C, the motor will be ON and moving at
100% of its maximum speed.
• Continually check the temperature and,
depending on the sensor value, take the
appropriate action.

under varied temperature conditions. It
outlines the behavior of the embedded
system in terms of how it responds to
temperature variations in real time.

8. Conclusion
The project's goal is to automatically adjust the
fan temperature. The most effective method for
using measured temperature to control fan
speed is found to be PWM. The system is
operating as it should. There is no need to
manually adjust the fan speed repeatedly
because it relies on the temperature.
