My name is Dharsan: I am a student at WSU as well as one of the new Product Marketing Engineering Interns at Digilent. \u00a0I am working with LabVIEW and the NI myRIO to create projects that help teach people how to use LabVIEW. \u00a0This week, I’ve been working on a project that controls fan speed based on a temperature reading. \u00a0An in-depth description of this can be found on instructables.com here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the future, I will be working with LabVIEW and the chipKIT WF32 to create more small projects like this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this project I created two simple circuits: a voltage divider<\/a> to measure the voltage change across the thermistor with changes in temperature, and a transistor <\/a>circuit that switches power to the fan. \u00a0Then, using LabVIEW, a myRIO<\/a>, and a myProto<\/a>, I created three different fan speeds depending on the thermistor voltage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please let me know what you think or if you have any questions.<\/p>\n
