Things used in this project

Hardware components

×1
Shield, Screw, Mega 2560
This shield brings out EVERY pin on a Mega 2560 to a terminal block. The center area is open for breadboards and there are also duplicate pads for soldering to any Mega pin. Each terminal is clearly marked and follow the Mega pinning. The terminals can accept up to 18GA wire or two 22 ga (dupont) wires. Tinning is suggested. This arrives as a kit. Terminals blocks MUST be snapped together BEFORE insertion or soldering. Install reset sw (optional, very tiny surface mount) and double row connector first for ease of soldering.

MicroSD card reader/writer
microSD card is used for data logging. Program captures temperature and humidity data every 15 minutes. Additionally program startups are logged. The program tracks the daily highs and lows of both temp and humidity at midnight. The files are named logMM-YY.txt where mm is the current month and YY is the last two digits of the year, New files are created automatically. data volume is low and the card is big, the installed 32gb card should NEVER run out of space.

Coffee Pot Relay Circuit

Coffee Pot relay and NEMA 5-15 cord set (Plug & Outlet) Coffee pot relay comes on with alarm and, if ignored, will automagically go off one hour later. The power state can be manually overridden.
The relay is peak rated at 10A @ 125VAC, however for safety, its de-rated to an 800W limit.

DHT-11 Sensor Development

DHT-11 Assembly drawing
Used to capture temperature and humidity data. Plan is to upgrade to the higher precision DHT-22 in the future.

IR Receiver Development

38kHz IR receiver module development

LDR Module Assembly Drawing

LDR Mounting, wiring, dimensions, and picture.

Micro SD card

Micro SD card assembly and wiring drawing. The microSD card is used for data logging, The temp and humidity are logged every 15 minutes. Additionally the daily highs and lows and their times are logged at midnight. The data file turns over monthly and is named "LOGmm-yy.txt". This one card should hold all the data this system will ever collect.

MP3 Player

MP3 Player with speaker. Uses microSD card with canned phrases/sounds/music for announcing the hours and alarm.
Two 3D mounts are needed, one for the player and a second for the 2" speaker.

Potentiometer and Button Input

The potentiometer and the button work in conjunction to perform analog numerical input. The user is prompted to adjust the dial to the desired value and press the button to enter that value.
This is a fast and intuitive entry method and can be scaled from just two choices to 100 with smooth response.

RGB LED Assembly Drawing

10mm, RGB LED mount, wiring, dimensions, and picture.
