Temperature Cycler

Project: IoT Glass Testing Device

Description:

• Developed an IoT-based glass testing system using a Raspberry Pi and Python. Implemented a PID control loop for optimized testing cycles, calibrated sensors for accurate temperature control, and integrated basic IoT functionalities using HTML and CSS for remote monitoring.

Key Points:

• Made the design from scratch using 3D printed components, switches, relays, heater, fan, thermocouple, buttons and LCD screen controlled using GPIO connector on the Raspberry Pi.
• Implement PID control for efficient testing cycles and sensor calibration for temperature accuracy.
• Integrate basic IoT features for remote monitoring using HTML/CSS.
• The image below shows flowchart of the system:

Results: Achieved stable and consistent testing conditions with the PID control loop. Sensor calibration ensured accurate temperature control during testing. Basic IoT integration enabled remote monitoring and control capabilities.
