To overcome this challenge, the designers mount heatsinks on the components to dissipate the heat, however, in many commercial and home appliance devices, the emb...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/b/blog/posts/cooling-fan-controller-using-an-lm35-no-mcuFri, 31 Dec 2021 06:36:13 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f0c4c6df-1d89-4999-a504-f829a9bd947ersjawale240<p>Great project! <br />I had done a similar mini-project during my undergrad days using a single LM35 with multiple opamp comparator, I was able to control devices as the temperature deviated from the set-points.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=22645&AppID=160&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/b/blog/posts/cooling-fan-controller-using-an-lm35-no-mcuThu, 30 Dec 2021 01:48:14 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f0c4c6df-1d89-4999-a504-f829a9bd947eshabaz0<p>Hi,&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>This reads like marketing for Altium and Samac, but&nbsp;nevertheless, this sounds odd, how come Altium Designer didn&#39;t have LM358 and Si2303 within its libraries by default? Both are common components (the MOSFET has the same symbol and footprint as a hundred other SOT-23 MOSFETs..). If you really wanted to demonstrate the value, you should have chosen very unusual parts that cannot possibly be expected to be within Altium Designer&#39;s libraries.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=22645&AppID=160&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
