1. Introduction:
All fans which are used now a day are controlled manually by voltage regulators which
have different stages of speed. This process is done manually which can be done
automatically by the use of this circuit. Here we are introducing an efficient fan speed
regulation circuit, by which the speed of a fan can be controlled depending up on the
room temperature. The circuit is highly efficient since energy loss can be minimized by
power saving as the circuit automatically adjusts the fans speed.

2. Objectives:-
The objectives of this project are:

The main objective of this project is to build and examine the automatic temperature
controlled fan speed.
To vary the speed of fan accordingly.
To reduce the power consumption.

3. Literature Survey:
Automation is the process of controlling the system and information to lessen the
need for human participation. Home automation represents the idea of controlling
household appliances in an integrated system. It may include lighting control,
heating, ventilation, air conditioning, security and other appliances. Various
sensors, ie temperature detector, smoke, fire, gas, PIR, light etc. are used for smart
home. These sensors use the input signal to control household appliances. But the
implementation of a unified connectivity between devices and the main controller
in a cost-effective way is very decisive. This work includes the control of
switching of lights and fan according to attendance of person, control of motor
speed of DC (fan) according to the variation of temperature. Thus, the DC motor
speed is controlled by the service / PWM signal.

4. Problem Statement:
We can not regulate the speed of fan automatically.

5. Problem Description:
Sometimes due to the suddenly change in surrounding temperature, we have to always
regulate the speed of fan to maintain the temperature. To maintain the temperature we
have to regulate speed of fan manually.
6. System Architecture:

This project is a standalone automatic fan speed controller that controls the speed of an
electric fan according to the requirement. Use of embedded technology makes this closed-
loop feedback-control system efficient and reliable. The microcontroller (MCU)
 ATMega8/168/328 allows dynamic and faster control and the LCD makes the system
user-friendly. Sensed temperature and fan speed levels are simultaneously displayed on
the LCD panel.

7. Modules :
First we can connect L293D motor driver IC to Arduino as below. You can read articles L293D
Motor Driver IC and H-Bridge Motor Driving for more information about the working of
L293D.

 Connect pin 1 (Enable 1) of L293D to pin 5 of Arduino.

 Connect pin 2 (Input 1) of L293D to the pin 4 of Arduino.
 Connect pin 3 (Output 1) of L293D to one terminal of the DC motor.
 Pins 4 and 5 of the L293D are ground pins, connect these to common ground (battery
ground + arduino ground).
 Connect pin 6 (Output 2) of L293D to the remaining terminal of the DC motor.
 Connect pin 7 (Input 2) of L293D to the pin 3 of Arduino.
 Pin 8 is Vcc2, which is the driver/motor power input, connect it to positive of the
battery.
 Pin 16 is Vcc1, which is logic voltage input (voltage level of control signals provided
by Arduino). Connect it to 5V output of Arduino.

After that connect DHT22 sensor to the Arduino, it is using a single wire bus for
communication.

 First pin is VCC power input, connect it to 5V output of Arduino.

 Second pin is DATA output, connect it to pin 6 of Arduino.
 Third pin is NOT USED.
 Fourth pin is Ground, connect it to ground.
 Now we can connect 16×2 LCD to the Arduino.
 Pin 1 is VSS, connect it to ground.
 Pin 2 is VDD, connect it to 5V output of Arduino.
 Pin 3 is VEE, for adjusting display contrast. Connect it to the variable terminal of a
potentiometer whose fixed terminals are connected to ground and 5V.
 Pin 4 is RS (Register Select), it is used to select data or command register. Connect it
to pin 12 of Arduino.
 Pin 5 is R/W (Read/Write). Connect it to ground since we are only writing data to
LCD in this project.
 Pin 6 is EN (Enable), it is used to indicate a valid data/command in data lines (D0 ~
D7). Connect it to pin 11 of Arduino.
 Pin 7 ~ 10 are data pins (D0 ~ D3), used to transmit data/command to LCD controller.
But these pins are not used in 4 bit LCD interfacing, so connect it to ground.
 Pin 11 ~ 14 are data pins (D4 ~ D7), used to transmit data/commands to LCD
controller. Connect it to Arduino pins 10, 9, 8 and 7 respectively.

8. Application:
 This project can be used everywhere where power consumption has to be
controlled.
 In home appliances, at industries, organisations, institutes.
 In computers, it can be use to cool the processor, as it gets heated.
9. System requirements with justification:
 Arduino UNO
 DHT11 sensor
 DC Fan
 9 volt battery
 16x2 LCD
 Connecting wires
