Temperature Control Program Implementation

This program is developed using MATLAB to control temperature and achieve optimal results. Although the initial prototype was written in C, the MATLAB implementation significantly enhances flexibility and scalability through its specialized toolboxes. The Control System Toolbox provides essential functions for designing PID controllers (using functions like pidtune for automatic tuning), while the Data Acquisition Toolbox enables real-time sensor data processing. For thermal modeling, we implemented transfer function analysis using tf and step functions to simulate system response. The program incorporates temperature calibration algorithms that utilize linear regression (via polyfit) for sensor data correction. MATLAB's visualization tools (plot, subplot, and custom GUI components) create intuitive real-time temperature monitoring interfaces. The system achieves precise temperature regulation through feedback control loops that continuously compare setpoints with actual readings using comparator functions. This comprehensive approach makes MATLAB the optimal choice for sophisticated temperature control applications requiring data analysis, real-time processing, and visualization.
