Abstract:

 

This paper presents an automatic room conditioning system for controlling temperature and relative humidity at an essential level. The system is intended to design for the production of fruit-fly in a mass scale by automatically maintaining the room conditions of sterile insect technique (SIT) laboratory. The designed system consists of microcontrollers, a temperature and relative humidity sensor module, a radio-frequency (RF) data transmitter and receiver module, keypad and switching circuits. The integrated system works as a microcontroller acquires the temperature and relative humidity value from the sensor module, compares it to the predefined value of these parameters, and generates corresponding signals for the switching circuits to keep the temperature and relative humidity at required level. Data acquisition from senor module is performed using bidirectional 2-wire communication protocol. Moreover, the temperature and relative humidity data along with switching records are transmitted to a remote monitoring unit using RF transmitter and receiver module, where the more flexible universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver/transmitter (USART) protocol is employed for performing the serial communication between microcontroller and RF transmitter and receiver modules. The results show that the developed prototype system is performing satisfactory to maintain the desired room conditioning for mass production of fruit-fly of SIT laboratory and to monitor the room conditions remotely. It is supposed that this low-cost user friendly system can also contribute in many research and industrial areas, where automatic room conditioning system is crucial.
