💻 Implementation Details

🌡️ 1. Sensor Reading Logic

The ADC module handles sensor readings:

void ADC_Init(ADC_Type ADC_Configuration) {
    // Configure ADC reference voltage
    switch(ADC_Configuration.Reference) {
        case AREF:
            CLR_BIT(ADMUX, REFS0);
            CLR_BIT(ADMUX, REFS1);
            break;
        case AVCC:
            SET_BIT(ADMUX, REFS0);
            CLR_BIT(ADMUX, REFS1);
            break;
        case INTERNAL:
            SET_BIT(ADMUX, REFS0);
            SET_BIT(ADMUX, REFS1);
            break;
    }
    
    // Configure ADC adjustment
    if(ADC_Configuration.Adjustment == LEFT) {
        SET_BIT(ADMUX, ADLAR);
    } else {
        CLR_BIT(ADMUX, ADLAR);
    }
    
    // Configure prescaler
    ADCSRA &= 0xF8;
    ADCSRA |= ADC_Configuration.Prescaler;
    
    // Enable ADC
    SET_BIT(ADCSRA, ADEN);
}

🔔 2. Buzzer Control System

The buzzer module provides alert functionality:

void BUZ_Init(BUZ_Type BUZ_Configuration) {
    GPIO_SetPinDirection(BUZ_Configuration.Port, BUZ_Configuration.Pin, 
                         PIN_OUTPUT);
}

void BUZ_On(BUZ_Type BUZ_Configuration) {
    if (BUZ_Configuration.Active_Status == ACTIVE_HIGH) {
        GPIO_SetPinValue(BUZ_Configuration.Port, BUZ_Configuration.Pin, 
                         LOGIC_HIGH);
    } else if (BUZ_Configuration.Active_Status == ACTIVE_LOW) {
        GPIO_SetPinValue(BUZ_Configuration.Port, BUZ_Configuration.Pin, 
                         LOGIC_LOW);
    }
}

void BUZ_Off(BUZ_Type BUZ_Configuration) {
    if (BUZ_Configuration.Active_Status == ACTIVE_HIGH) {
        GPIO_SetPinValue(BUZ_Configuration.Port, BUZ_Configuration.Pin, 
                         LOGIC_LOW);
    } else if (BUZ_Configuration.Active_Status == ACTIVE_LOW) {
        GPIO_SetPinValue(BUZ_Configuration.Port, BUZ_Configuration.Pin, 
                         LOGIC_HIGH);
    }
}

🧠 3. Decision Making Logic

The main application implements intelligent decision making:

// Example decision making logic (conceptual)
void ProcessSensorData() {
    u16 temperature = ADC_GetReading(TEMP_SENSOR_CHANNEL);
    u16 humidity = ADC_GetReading(HUMIDITY_SENSOR_CHANNEL);
    u16 light = ADC_GetReading(LIGHT_SENSOR_CHANNEL);
    
    // Temperature control
    if (temperature > TEMP_HIGH_THRESHOLD) {
        // Turn on cooling
        Device_TurnOn(COOLING_DEVICE);
        // Activate alert if very high
        if (temperature > TEMP_CRITICAL_THRESHOLD) {
            BUZ_On(tempAlertBuzzer);
        }
    } else if (temperature < TEMP_LOW_THRESHOLD) {
        // Turn on heating
        Device_TurnOn(HEATING_DEVICE);
    } else {
        // Normal temperature range
        Device_TurnOff(COOLING_DEVICE);
        Device_TurnOff(HEATING_DEVICE);
        BUZ_Off(tempAlertBuzzer);
    }
    
    // Similar logic for humidity and light control
    // ...
}
