Title: Air Conditioning Vent Controller
Abstract: The purpose of an air conditioning vent control system has two main focuses. The first is to help people who would like to open and close their household ac vent and the second is to improve the efficiency of their current household air conditioning systems. This system focuses on utilizing a microcontroller that can be programmed to control a servo motor to operate a ac vent. Our design will be simple, cost effective, and easy to install. Our goal is to manage the air temperature of a room by operating a vent with a push of a button, which will control airflow, and thus improve energy efficiency. To accomplish this, we purchased a low cost TI EZ430-RF2500 development tool and a high torque servo motor. We also developed the software and mechanical components we needed to operate a home ac vent. We will demonstrate a working prototype of an ac vent, in an open and closed loop. This solution will provide both help to the person whom uses this in their home and energy efficiency savings on their monthly electric bills.
