how to create a thermostat in matlab

Here are the general steps to create a basic thermostat in MATLAB using GUI:

  1. Open GUIDE tool in MATLAB.

  2. Create a new GUI.

  3. Add two slider components to the GUI, one for setting the temperature and other for setting the threshold temperature.

  4. Add a button component to the GUI to update the temperature.

  5. Add an LED component to the GUI which will show whether the heater is on or off.

  6. Add a text box to display the current temperature value.

  7. Add a function to update the temperature value when the button is pressed.

  8. Add a function to control the heater.

  9. Set the threshold temperature using the slider component.

  10. Set the current temperature value from an external source (e.g. sensor).

  11. Update the LED component status based on the current temperature value and the threshold temperature.

  12. Finally, run the GUI and test it with different slider values to verify if the thermostat is working as expected.

Here is some sample code that demonstrates how to create a basic thermostat GUI:

main.m
function myThermostat
% Create GUI Figure 
fig = figure('Visible','off','Position',[360,500,450,285]);

% Create sliders to control the temperature and threshold
sld1 = uicontrol('Style', 'slider', 'Min', 0, 'Max', 100, 'Value', 20,...
    'Position', [175 120 200 20], 'Callback', @sld1_callback);

sld2 = uicontrol('Style', 'slider', 'Min', 0, 'Max', 100, 'Value', 10,...
    'Position', [175 90 200 20], 'Callback', @sld2_callback);

% Create button and text to update the temperature
btn = uicontrol('Style', 'pushbutton', 'String', 'Update',...
    'Position', [225 60 100 20], 'Callback', @btn_callback);

temp_text = uicontrol('Style','text','Position',[175 210 200 20],...
                'String','Temperature: 20 C', 'HorizontalAlignment',...
                'left', 'FontSize', 12);

% Create LED to indicate status of heater
LED = uicontrol('Style','togglebutton', 'String', 'Off', ...
                'Position',[225 10 100 30], 'Callback', @LED_callback);

% Make the GUI visible
fig.Visible = 'on';

% Slider callback function
function sld1_callback(source, ~)
    temp = round(source.Value);
    temp_text.String = ['Temperature: ' num2str(temp) ' C'];
end

% Threshold slider callback function
function sld2_callback(source, ~)
    threshold = round(source.Value);
end

% Button callback function
function btn_callback(~, ~)
    % read the current temperature 
    current_temp = 20 % replace this with your sensor code
    temp_text.String = ['Temperature: ' num2str(current_temp) ' C'];
    
    % check if temperature is below threshold and turn on the heater
    if current_temp < threshold
        LED.String = 'On';
        LED.Value = 1;
    else
        LED.String = 'Off';
        LED.Value = 0;
    end
end

% LED callback function
function LED_callback(source, ~)
    if source.Value == 0 % if the heater is off
        source.String = 'Off';
    else % if the heater is on
        source.String = 'On';
    end
end

end
