Abstract

Each and every part of human life is somehow linked with the embedded products. Embedded systems are product of hardware and software co design. It is becoming an integral part of engineering design process for efficient analysis of data acquisition. Data acquisition implies the gathering of information about a system or process. It is the process of collecting data in an automated way from analog and digital sources of measurement, such as sensors and devices under test. The present paper describes the design of an embedded system for the control of temperature and light intensity in a single system using sensors, microcontroller and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). It describes the controlling action incorporated in the hardware to control any device connected when specific conditions are met.
