I decided to make this project in order to control a homemade amplifier. I have just one temperature sensor, DS18B20, but in the future I will use 4 of them to read the temperature of the heatsink in different places and make an average. I want to mention that I'm a beginner in arduino and this is my first project. I'm open to any suggestions. I have done a welcome screen and a loading bar for start-up sequence. After this I had programmed to close a relay on the main power source of the amplifier. You can see the heatsink temp on the LCD. At the DS gets hot, the speed of the fans it's shown on the lcd. When the temp is less than a minimum temp, it's shows "Fans not running". When a maximum temperature is reached, it's shuts the relay off, leaving the heatsink to get cooled back. I have used an led instead of a fan (this is what I have for the moment, but it's works, the led is fading up as the fan speed grows.
