What This Document Is
This is a completed Homework 5 assignment for Engineering Problem Solving II (ENGR 121) at Louisiana Tech University, submitted by student Sydney Jackwin. It addresses a problem involving temperature sensing with an Arduino, a thermistor, and a transistor circuit. The assignment focuses on implementing a system to monitor temperature and potentially control a fan based on defined upper and lower control limits.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is intended for students enrolled in ENGR 121 who are learning to apply engineering principles to practical problems. It’s used to assess a student’s ability to translate a problem statement into a functional Arduino sketch, including variable declaration, data type selection, and circuit implementation. It’s likely part of a series of assignments building towards more complex engineering design projects.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document represents a *completed* assignment. It does not provide instruction on *how* to complete the assignment. It showcases one student’s approach and solution, which may differ from others. It also notes a limitation – the student was unable to include screenshots of the serial monitor or a picture of the Arduino setup due to an accident.
What This Document Provides
The completed assignment includes: a flowchart outlining the logic of the Arduino sketch, a list of variables and their data types used in the code, the Arduino sketch code itself, and a description of the physical setup (though without visual aids). It also includes a statement regarding the missing screenshots. This preview does *not* include the full Arduino sketch code, the flowchart image, or the circuit diagrams.
