Background
The issue with our dorm is the lack of measurement tools to determine the temperature inside our room. It often requires a lot of effort to find the perfect temperature setting. While we can use the weather app on our phones, it only provides the overall city temperature, whereas I need the local temperature specifically within my dorm. To address this, I have decided to take on a project to build my own temperature and humidity sensor.
The sensor I am developing will accurately measure temperature within the range of 0-50 degrees Celsius and humidity within the range of 5-95%. By utilizing resources from my GT ECE store, I can borrow any additional equipment necessary for this project. Furthermore, the Arduino board I will be using is versatile and can be reused for various purposes. This project is not only affordable but also offers a great opportunity for learning and having fun.
Steps
- Start by getting all the things ready. Things that needed:
