  • Select "SineAnalogGenerator1" and in the properties window set Amplitude to 0.30 and Frequency to 0.1,set enabled to False and click on the Pin icon and select Boolean sink pin
  • Select "CompareValue1" and in the properties window set Value to 24 (temperature that will start the fan) and Compare Type to ctBiggerOrEqual
  • Select "CompareValue2" and in the properties window set Value to 24 (temperature level that will stop the fan) and Compare Type to ctSmaller
  • Double click on the "AnalogValue1" and in the Elements window drag "Set Value" to the left
  • In the properties window set Value to 0.5
  • In the Elements window drag another "Set Value" to the left
  • In the properties window set Value to 1

Double click on the "DisplayOLED1"

In the Elements window:

  • Drag "Draw Text" to the left and in the properties window set Text to "TEMP"
  • Drag "Text Field" to the left and in the properties window set Size to 2 and Y to 9
  • Drag "Draw Text" to the left and in the properties window set Text to "HUMIDITY" and Y to 26
  • Drag "Text Field" to the left and in the properties window set Size to 2 and Y to 36
  • Drag "Draw Text" to the left and in the properties window set Text to "FAN ACTIVE" and Y to 54 and set Enabled to false, click on the pin icon and set BooleanSinkPin

Close the Elements window

In Visuino Connect Components

In Visuino, at the bottom click on the "Build" Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the "Compile/Build and Upload" button.

Play

If you power the Arduino UNO module, the OLED Display will start to show the temperature and humidity values and if the fan is Active. Once the temperature raises above 24 degrees the fan will start to spin.

Congratulations! You have completed your project with Visuino. Also attached is the Visuino project, that I created for this Instructable, you can download it and open it in Visuino: https://www.visuino.eu
