Introduction ----------------- In this project, we will use motors, buttons and thermistors to make a manual + automatic smart fan whose wind speed is adjustable. Required Components ------------------------------ In this project, we need the following components. .. image:: ../img/list2_Smart_Fan.png :width: 800 :align: center It's definitely convenient to buy a whole kit, here's the link: .. list-table:: :widths: 20 20 20 :header-rows: 1 * - Name - ITEMS IN THIS KIT - LINK * - Raphael Kit - 337 - |link_Raphael_kit| You can also buy them separately from the links below. .. list-table:: :widths: 30 20 :header-rows: 1 * - COMPONENT INTRODUCTION - PURCHASE LINK * - :ref:`cpn_gpio_board` - |link_gpio_board_buy| * - :ref:`cpn_breadboard` - |link_breadboard_buy| * - :ref:`cpn_wires` - |link_wires_buy| * - :ref:`cpn_resistor` - |link_resistor_buy| * - :ref:`cpn_power_module` - \- * - :ref:`cpn_thermistor` - |link_thermistor_buy| * - :ref:`cpn_l293d` - \- * - :ref:`cpn_mcp3008` - \- * - :ref:`cpn_button` - |link_button_buy| * - :ref:`cpn_motor` - |link_motor_buy| Schematic Diagram ------------------------ ============ ======== ======== === T-Board Name physical wiringPi BCM SPICE0 Pin 24 10 8 SPIMOSI Pin 19 12 10 SPIMISO Pin 21 13 9 SPISCLK Pin 23 14 11 GPIO22 Pin 15 3 22 GPIO5 Pin 29 21 5 GPIO6 Pin 31 22 6 GPIO13 Pin 33 23 13 ============ ======== ======== === .. image:: ../img/schematic_3.1.4_smart_fan_mcp3008.png :align: center Experimental Procedures ----------------------------- **Step 1:** Build the circuit. .. image:: ../img/july24_3.1.4_smart_fan_mcp3008.png .. note:: The power module can apply a 9V battery with the 9V Battery Buckle in the kit. Insert the jumper cap of the power module into the 5V bus strips of the breadboard. .. image:: ../img/image118.jpeg :align: center **Step 2:** Set up the SPI interface and install the ``spidev`` library (see :ref:`spi_configuration` for detailed instructions). If you have already completed these steps, you can skip this. **Step 3**: Get into the folder of the code. .. raw:: html .. code-block:: cd ~/raphael-kit/python **Step 4**: Run. .. raw:: html .. code-block:: sudo python3 4.1.10-2_SmartFan.py As the code runs, start the fan by pressing the button. Every time you press, 1 speed grade is adjusted up or down. There are **5** kinds of speed grades: **0~4**. When set to the 4\ :sup:`th` speed grade and you press the button, the fan stops working with a **0** wind speed. Once the temperature goes up or down for more than 2℃, the speed automatically gets 1-grade faster or slower. Code -------- .. note:: You can **Modify/Reset/Copy/Run/Stop** the code below. But before that, you need to go to source code path like ``raphael-kit/python``. After modifying the code, you can run it directly to see the effect. .. raw:: html .. code-block:: python #!/usr/bin/env python3 import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import spidev import time import math # Pin configuration BTN_PIN = 22 # Button GPIO (physical pin 15) MOTOR_IN1 = 5 # Motor forward MOTOR_IN2 = 6 # Motor backward MOTOR_EN = 13 # PWM enable pin # GPIO setup GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(BTN_PIN, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP) GPIO.setup(MOTOR_IN1, GPIO.OUT) GPIO.setup(MOTOR_IN2, GPIO.OUT) GPIO.setup(MOTOR_EN, GPIO.OUT) # PWM setup for motor speed control pwm = GPIO.PWM(MOTOR_EN, 1000) # 1kHz frequency pwm.start(0) # Initialize SPI for MCP3008 spi = spidev.SpiDev() spi.open(0, 0) # Bus 0, CE0 spi.max_speed_hz = 1000000 # 1 MHz # Global variables level = 0 currentTemp = 0 markTemp = 0 def read_adc(channel): if channel < 0 or channel > 7: return -1 adc = spi.xfer2([1, (8 + channel) << 4, 0]) value = ((adc[1] & 0x03) << 8) | adc[2] return value def temperature(): analogVal = read_adc(0) Vr = 3.3 * analogVal / 1023.0 Rt = 10000.0 * Vr / (3.3 - Vr) tempK = 1.0 / (((math.log(Rt / 10000.0)) / 3950.0) + (1.0 / (273.15 + 25.0))) Cel = tempK - 273.15 return Cel def motor_run(level): if level == 0: GPIO.output(MOTOR_IN1, GPIO.LOW) GPIO.output(MOTOR_IN2, GPIO.LOW) pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(0) return 0 if level >= 4: level = 4 GPIO.output(MOTOR_IN1, GPIO.HIGH) GPIO.output(MOTOR_IN2, GPIO.LOW) pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(level * 25) # Map level (1–4) to 25%–100% return level def changeLevel(channel): global level, currentTemp, markTemp print("Button pressed") level = (level + 1) % 5 markTemp = currentTemp # Add event detection for button press GPIO.add_event_detect(BTN_PIN, GPIO.FALLING, callback=changeLevel, bouncetime=300) def main(): global level, currentTemp, markTemp markTemp = temperature() while True: currentTemp = temperature() if level != 0: if currentTemp - markTemp <= -2: level -= 1 markTemp = currentTemp elif currentTemp - markTemp >= 2: if level < 4: level += 1 markTemp = currentTemp level = motor_run(level) time.sleep(0.2) try: main() except KeyboardInterrupt: pass finally: pwm.stop() GPIO.cleanup() spi.close() Code Explanation --------------------- #. Import required modules: - ``RPi.GPIO`` for GPIO control (button and motor), - ``spidev`` for communicating with MCP3008 ADC, - ``time`` for delays, - ``math`` for temperature calculation using logarithmic functions. .. code-block:: python #!/usr/bin/env python3 import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import spidev import time import math #. Set up GPIO pins: - Button on GPIO22 (with internal pull-up), - Motor control using GPIO5 (forward), GPIO6 (backward), and GPIO13 (PWM enable). .. code-block:: python BTN_PIN = 22 MOTOR_IN1 = 5 MOTOR_IN2 = 6 MOTOR_EN = 13 GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(BTN_PIN, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP) GPIO.setup(MOTOR_IN1, GPIO.OUT) GPIO.setup(MOTOR_IN2, GPIO.OUT) GPIO.setup(MOTOR_EN, GPIO.OUT) pwm = GPIO.PWM(MOTOR_EN, 1000) pwm.start(0) #. Initialize SPI communication to the MCP3008 (Bus 0, Chip Enable 0) at 1 MHz. .. code-block:: python spi = spidev.SpiDev() spi.open(0, 0) spi.max_speed_hz = 1000000 #. Define ``read_adc()`` function to read a 10-bit analog value (0–1023) from the specified MCP3008 channel (0–7). .. code-block:: python def read_adc(channel): if channel < 0 or channel > 7: return -1 adc = spi.xfer2([1, (8 + channel) << 4, 0]) value = ((adc[1] & 0x03) << 8) | adc[2] return value #. Define ``temperature()`` function to: - Convert analog voltage to resistance, - Apply the Steinhart–Hart equation to compute temperature in Celsius. .. code-block:: python def temperature(): analogVal = read_adc(0) Vr = 3.3 * analogVal / 1023.0 Rt = 10000.0 * Vr / (3.3 - Vr) tempK = 1.0 / (((math.log(Rt / 10000.0)) / 3950.0) + (1.0 / (273.15 + 25.0))) Cel = tempK - 273.15 return Cel #. Define ``motor_run()`` to: - Stop motor at level 0, - Run motor forward at increasing speed based on level 1–4, with PWM duty cycle of 25% to 100%. .. code-block:: python def motor_run(level): if level == 0: GPIO.output(MOTOR_IN1, GPIO.LOW) GPIO.output(MOTOR_IN2, GPIO.LOW) pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(0) return 0 if level >= 4: level = 4 GPIO.output(MOTOR_IN1, GPIO.HIGH) GPIO.output(MOTOR_IN2, GPIO.LOW) pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(level * 25) return level #. Define ``changeLevel()`` callback for button press to: - Increase the motor level cyclically (0 to 4), - Record the current temperature as the new baseline. .. code-block:: python def changeLevel(channel): global level, currentTemp, markTemp print("Button pressed") level = (level + 1) % 5 markTemp = currentTemp GPIO.add_event_detect(BTN_PIN, GPIO.FALLING, callback=changeLevel, bouncetime=300) #. Define ``main()`` loop to: - Monitor temperature change relative to the marked temperature, - Decrease level if temperature drops by 2°C or more, - Increase level if it rises by 2°C or more, - Adjust motor speed accordingly every 0.2 seconds. .. code-block:: python def main(): global level, currentTemp, markTemp markTemp = temperature() while True: currentTemp = temperature() if level != 0: if currentTemp - markTemp <= -2: level -= 1 markTemp = currentTemp elif currentTemp - markTemp >= 2: if level < 4: level += 1 markTemp = currentTemp level = motor_run(level) time.sleep(0.2) #. Run the main function and ensure proper cleanup on Ctrl+C (stop motor, cleanup GPIO, close SPI). .. code-block:: python try: main() except KeyboardInterrupt: pass finally: pwm.stop() GPIO.cleanup() spi.close()
