Lessons learned:
- Powering motors through arduino.
- My first larger project with lots of wires.
- It's good to proactively lead school projects, because that means someone is leading.
Description
This project was a school project we've completed as a 4 person team.
The concept is simple - the window opens or closes based on outside conditions. The conditions are online weather information, room temperature, humidity and time (certain times a day the window opens).
The whole project was programmed through MATLAB. The micro controller unit was responsible for getting the data from sensors and opening and closing the window, while the PC was getting the online data and sending it to the MCU.
