π¬ Abstract Summary
The presented work proposes an optimized embedded solution for controlling the thermal treatment process in ZnO nanostructure fabrication. Zinc foils were used as substrate, with the process fully automated through an ESP32-based embedded system:
- High-voltage (220V) control using optotriac and BT138 triac
- Web-based user interface for real-time control
- Temperature regulation and monitoring via FreeRTOS
- Integration with a live graphical interface to track temperature, process time, and target settings
The system enables precise annealing required for ZnO synthesis, and results were validated using SEM, EDX, and XRD techniques.
βThis modular embedded setup enables flexible, safe, and automated control of nanomaterial production through thermal processing.β
