Here are the key components of a temperature controller system using an 8085 microprocessor:
- 8085 microprocessor - Acts as the central processing unit to control the system.
- ADC interface board - Contains an ADC (analog to digital converter) which converts the analog temperature sensor output to digital for the microprocessor. Also interfaces the ADC to the microprocessor bus.
- Temperature sensor (e.g. thermistor) - Measures the temperature of the plant and provides an analog output to the ADC.
- Relay and driver circuit - Switches power to the heating element on/off under microprocessor control to regulate temperature.
- Supporting hardware - Includes memory (ROM, RAM), I/
