ABSTRACT

In this paper we begin with a simple project that will empower students to help solve our energy problems. They will build a 'smart' system for controlling temperature. This project can be used as a stand-alone project, as part of a competition to build the best temperature controlled environment, or as a model for other projects. In addition to the basic Arduino starter kit you will need a small lamp and computer fan (details are given further on). To further simplify the programming and wiring we break this project into 3 separate components giving the details how to wire and program each part.
