It was about time I made my first official hardware tutorial, so I thought what I can do that uses a fair amount of inputs and outputs, while still being fun.
I came up with the Temperature Commentator.
It senses that you are in-range, then turns a sign saying "Think warm thoughts" with a red LED if it's below 62F, and "All is going well" with a yellow LED if it is equal to or above 62F.
I was moving it to a custom enclosure and generic arduino board, but I ran into some walls that I thought were unnecessary to try to overcome at this time.Β
I just want to get to building my next project! :)
Although I do want to get a few kinks worked out...
Some issues I've been having:
- Hardware - When 9V battery is connected to the Uno, the servo acts funny, oscillating in pulses
- Code - When proximity is read, the voltage changes and temp is read higher than normal, and falls back down about 5 degrees F once removed.
If anyone can help, I'd be highly appreciative!
