Arduino Basics

  Arduino is well known for the large variety of sensors / modules that can be connected. It is quite easy to hook up a temperature or humidity sensor to get instant feedback about the surrounding environmental conditions. However, sometimes you do not have a temperature sensor. Sometimes you have a sensor, but would like to know the temperature in other cities ! Or you would like to know what the temperature will be tomorrow? Well now you can !! All you need is a Temboo account, an internet connection and the following components: Parts Required 2 x Arduino UNO (or compatible board) Ethernet Shield ITDB02-1.8SP TFT LCD Module Solderless Breadboard Jumper wires Mini Breadboard 4.5cm x 3.5cm Protoshield     Project Description An Arduino UNO (and Ethernet Shield) queries Yahoo using a Temboo account, and retrieves weather informati...

Introduction: The IRTEMP module from Freetronics is an infrared remote temperature sensor that can be incorporated into your Arduino / microcontroller projects. It can scan a temperature between -33 to +220 C, and can be operated using a 3.3 to 5V power supply. It can be powered directly from the Arduino 5V pin.  This module can also provide an ambient temperature reading if required. The Servo used in this project is a SG-5010 standard servo which will be utilised to display the temperature reading from the IRTEMP module. Parts Required: Freetronics Eleven or any compatible Arduino. Freetronics IRTEMP module MG-995   or SG-5010 Standard servo Mini Breadboard 4.5cm x 3.5cm Protoshield and female header pins (not essential - but makes it more tidy) 9V Battery and Battery Clip Wires to connect it all together Gauge parts: Paper (to print the face of the gauge), and some glue to stick it to the wood. MDF Standard panel (3mm width) - for the top and base of the gauge. Galvaniz...
