Description This project is a small sensor to monitor Temperature, Humidity, and Light levels. The project may end up in a toy Star Trek TNG Tricorder case at some point in the future, but I wanted to document where it is at a today. Originally I used an Adafruit Huzzah (ESP12) board, but after I determined I wasn’t going to use the wifi, I switched to the Adafruit Adalogger board. <p><em>This post is some free-ish form notes about a project that is either work in progress or complete.</em></p> <h2 id="description">Description</h2> <p>This project is a small sensor to monitor Temperature, Humidity, and Light levels. The project may end up in a toy Star Trek TNG Tricorder case at some point in the future, but I wanted to document where it is at a today. Originally I used an Adafruit Huzzah (ESP12) board, but after I determined I wasn’t going to use the wifi, I switched to the Adafruit Adalogger board. This board has many more analog channels which could be of use for other sensors in the future.</p> <p>The choice of resistors and the MINLIGHT and MAXLIGHT values will vary depending on the board in use.</p> <p><img src="../2017-08-23-small-projects-temperature-humidity-and-light-sensor-images/Screen-Shot-2017-08-23-at-14.50.38-224x300.png" alt="" /></p> <h2 id="parts">Parts</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/2796">Adafruit Feather M0 Adalogger</a></li> <li>AM2302 (eBay)</li> <li><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/326">Monochrome 0.96″ 128×64 OLED graphic display</a></li> <li>Resistors</li> <li>Photo Resistor</li> </ul> <h2 id="code">Code</h2> <p><a href="https://github.com/suidroot/arduino/blob/master/TempHumLumSensor.ino">https://github.com/suidroot/arduino/blob/master/TempHumLumSensor.ino</a></p> <h2 id="photo">Photo</h2> <p>This photo is of my current PoC on a breadboard of this project.</p> <p><img src="../2017-08-23-small-projects-temperature-humidity-and-light-sensor-images/IMG_0788-225x300.png" alt="" /></p> suidroot electronics small projects Electronics
