Temperature Controlled Fan ON-OFF Switch Using Arduino Nano 16X2 LCD and LM35 Sensor

 

Compact Temperature controlled fan on/off switch is based on Arduino Nano multipurpose TWOVOLT shield, the circuit consist LM35 temperature sensor, 16X2 LCD, 12V relay including driver transistor, circuit works with 12V supply and can controlled any fan from 12V to 230V AC, for testing purpose I have connected 12V DC fan. At normally open switch of relay. The shield has many other parts can be omit if not required, refer circuit diagram for more info. Relay can switch load up to 7amps supply 5V to 230V AC.
