Open Source, Real-Time Temperature Monitoring & Control using Scilab & Arduino

Abstract

Our project is a working model which incorporates temperature sensors to measure temperature. “Temperature Monitoring System”, is a system that can be used in an industrial like factory or inside the main distribution frame room for industries. Here we are using two open source platforms Arduino and Scilab for temperature monitoring. The Arduino and Scilab communicated with the help of serial port connection “USB-UART”. The main issues in a temperature monitoring system are how the system communicates with the user, if the temperature is beyond the stable temperature defined by the user. It is a system that is applied to detect temperature and display the value of temperature on the monitor, as well as it will be displayed on the LDC screen. The graph of the temperature variation with respect to time will be displayed on the monitor, which will give the value of temperature every second. While the monitoring system uses a computer system to monitoring the temperature data.
