A relay will be used to switch the heater on or off.
A thermistor will be used to measure the temperature.
A comparator will be used to process the temperature measurements.

Action taken to remedy problem |
| 1 - 07/12/05 | measure the temperature of a fish tank | Heating and cooling the tank measuring the tank temperature with a thermometer measuring the thermistor output |
||
| 2 - 07/12/05 | turn on a heater if the tank is too cold | measuring the comparator circuit to see if it turns on/off at the correct temperature | ||
| 3 - 07/12/05 | provide enough current to turn on the relay to turn on the heater |
