A pyranometer measures the sun’s irradiance (power/area, basically “brightness”) on a surface. Despite the similar names, it is completely different from a pyrometer, so stop right here if that is what you are looking for. This Instructable describes how to build and test a modified version of the pyranometer kit offered by Dr. David Brooks of the

Two other tutorials I have written step you through the basics (Arduino 101) and how to create a really basic data logger (Arduino Datalogger – simple). This tutorial will step through how to attach servo motors, and use temperature sensor to move it! The premise is that often, you want to respond to some input

While there is nothing better than curling up by the fire during winter, the bitterly cold season can wreak havoc on your property. It is, therefore, crucial to prep your home in advance to ensure it can withstand the wear and tear of the arduous weather conditions. If you want to maintain a stunning, warm

Now I think just about everybody has a binary clock and here’s my version. What I enjoyed was that this project combined some woodwork, programming, learning, electronics and perhaps just a little artistic creativity. It shows time, month, date, day of week, temperature and humidity on the marble display in a binary form – an

A friend of mine is a scientist who does experiments that are very sensitive to air temperature and humidity. The incubator room has a small ceramic heater but the heater’s thermostat was not nearly accurate enough, only able to maintain the temperature within 10-15 degrees. Commercial devices that log temperature and humidity can be quite

n this tutorial we are going to show you how to setup your own temperature and humidity sensor. We are going to use a DHT22 unit, which is a low-cost digital output relative humidity and temperature sensor. The device includes a capacative humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure air temperature DHT22 Specifications Temperature Range: -40

During my high-school sophomore year, the 3rd floor of our house lighted on fire due to a short circuit. Fortunately, my family was away on vacation for Christmas. But if we were home, wouldn’t it be crucial to tell the direction of fire quickly so that we know the direction to evacuate? Consider another situation.
As my first project with Arduino, I would like to share how we can make a homemade Aquarium Management System. If you want your fish to be fed automatically and if you want to check the aquarium status like temperature, water level etc., this project might help you. Step 1: The Components Here we are

This is officially my first Instructables article, so I’m going to admit that I am using this opportunity right now to try it out. Get a feel of how the platform works, the whole user experience side of it. But while I am doing that, I figured I can also use the opportunity to share
