Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper discusses the development of an automated controller for a Mojo v3-based solar heating system. The developed system operates using 6 sensors (DS18B20 Dallas) expanding the platform's applicability. An in-tegrated system allows controlling temperature and heat using Dallas sensors. The control and monitoring system is implemented in the VHDL and VERILOG languages. A control algorithm has been developed that activates libraries and constants, a real-time clock module, temperature sensors, and server connection. When the server connection is established, the temperature sensor readings are recorded and saved in the XML file in the Ethernet module. XML facilitates data processing by automatically or manually interpreting spreadsheet programs.
