KEY POINTS:
- 7-segment display is used to display the In-cabin temperature.
-To protect the LED present in the 7-segment display, resistance is used to achieve desired
current level instead of a 3-pin regulator.
- A basic LM35 sensor is used to measure the temperature of the cabin.
-The fan speed varies based on the variation in temperature recorded by the LM35 sensor.
PROBLEMS FACED:
-The connections to be made to make the 7-segment display functional.
-The code construction to achieve the functionality of the setup i.e. change in the fan speed
based on temperature and simultaneous display of temperature values.
-
SOLUTION:
-Resistance value
R= VLED
ILED
VLED= 3.5 volts (referring the datasheet for red LED)
ILED= 17 ma
But for optimum operation of LED 8O% of the rated current is used.
R= 3.5/17 x 10-3
R=205.882 Ω
Closest available resistance is used
R= 220 Ω
CONCLUSIONS:
-The sensor used determines the precision with which the temperature is measured.
-The resistance selection is crucial to safe guard the 7-segment display from damage due to
excess current flow.
-The program algorithm should cover every possibility to ensure error free execution and
setup functionality
