Summary
Our project demonstrates an electronic closed loop tire pressure regulation system that uses internal heating instead of mechanical pumps to maintain optimal pressure. A pressure sensor, microcontroller, and MOSFET controlled heating pads work together to detect underinflation and raise internal temperature to restore target pressure. This system showcases practical embedded control, power electronics, and thermodynamic principles working together in real hardware.
