13. Output devices¶
This week task as below:¶
- Individual project
Add an output device to a microcontroller board you’ve designed and program it to do something.
I am going to connect my board to a relay and a fan. By programming the board, the chip can turn on or turn off the fan by measuring different temperature.
Power supply¶
Step 1:
This is the power supply I use for this assignment. It is a GX550 power supply.
Step 2:
In order to turn on the power supply, I need to connect “PS-on” to the “ground”. they are pin 16 and pin17.
Step 3:
As shown in the diagram, after connecting PS ON and ground, the power supply is turned on.
Step 4:
There is a 12V, I use the meter to measure it is 12.28 Volt. It is used for 12V power supply of the Fan.
Step 5:
Also, there is are 5V supplied.
It is measured that it is 5.17 Volt and it is used to give the power for the board.
Output device, programming and testing¶
Step 1:
As you see that the power supply connecting to the cable of my board.
Step 2:
All cables are sucessfully to my board
Step 3:
I am going to connect the power supply, my board with chip, board with input device (temperature sensor) and relay.
The connecting diagram look like below.
Step 4:
Connecting between my board with chip and my board with input devices and relay.
Step 5:
Here is the completed connecting diagram. You may see that fan, my board with chip, my input device board and relay are connected.
Step 6:
The program logic behave like this.
Case 1 ：Room temperature is lower than 25C, The LED will keep flashing and fan is turned off.
Case 2 ：Room temperature is higher than 25C, The LED will turn on and fan is turned on.
