This project demonstrates building a real-time clock (RTC) with temperature display using an Arduino, DS3231 RTC chip, and SSD1306 OLED display (128×64 pixels). The DS3231 RTC chip provides more accuracy than the DS1307 and incorporates an onboard temperature sensor. It maintains timekeeping even without the main power, making it well-suited for this application. It communicates […]
With all due respect to the Utah Opera’s production of La bohème, we just couldn’t resist poking a little fun at master electrician [David Smith]’s quick lighting hack for the opera. And who knew an opera from 1896 would need a garbage can fire? Live and learn. In what appears to be a case of “The show must

In this project I’ll display the temperature in a 4 digit 7 segment display (common anode). The sensor is the cheapest you can find so actually the temperature changes pretty easily which makes the display to show always different temperatures. But the idea is to apply this code to other projects with 7 segment displays
