8. Build a flowchart to describe the operation of a microcontroller (MCU) based temperature regulating system. The system monitors the temperature of a heated environment using thermistors and regulates the temperature by turning on fans. The MCU periodically reads the temperature from 64 different thermistors (each is driven by its own constant current source) by selecting each through an analog multiplexer. The resulting voltage is converted into an 8-bit digital value using the MCU's analog-to-digital converter. There are two temperature ranges recognized— low temperature and working temperature. When the temperature is low, the MCU turns all the fans off. When the temperature is in the working range, the MCU uses a complex algorithm to determine the number of fans to turn on. [A]
