Temperature measurement

chiversj

A super smart thermometer that measures temperature and logs with time stamp, and other information. Creates a log over a period of time. Then downloads information into computer or other devices. Having it talk would be a neat plus feature.

  • Sounds like a project using parts like https://www.sparkfun.com/wish_lists/34664 . add bluetooth to indoor pc an the sky's the limit.

    Why not use a RaspPi and a Temp/Humidity Sensor DHT22 (available from element14)?

    Get a full-blown RaspPi and once the H/W and S/W is finalized, put same onto RaspPi

    Zero Board.

    Below is my Canned Answer to people possibly considering RaspPi

    ________________________

    WRT (With Respect To) S/W for the RaspPi there are Two

    Flavors

    1.

    Raspbian (Debian) O/S gotten at:

    www.raspberrypi.org

    2.

    Minibian O/S gotten at:

    https://minibianpi.wordpress.com/

     

    ------------------

    I personally have Two separate uSD/SD memory Cards

    I boot-up w/ the card that will dictate what I want to do.

    Minibian for using the RaspPi to control/obtain Outside

    World Parameters.

    Raspian (Debian)  to use RaspPi as a general-Purpose Computer.

    __________

    WRT H/W for the RaspPi, there are also many options,

    but one is unique:

     

    This being the RaspPi Zero. RaspPi Zero is a stripped-down RaspPi

    Board that one would use AFTER you have developed your H/W &

    S/W on the Full-Function RaspPi Boards

    BTW the RaspPi Zero does NOT have connector for RaspPi Camera

    Module

    __________

    WRT to Learning/Receive-Mentoring about the RaspPi, there are MOOC

    (Massively Open Online Courses) courses on the web.

    edx.org

    coursera.org

    udemy.com [A PAID Site: Tuition $$ required]

  • Would this be used more for indoor, outdoor, both, or something else entirely?

    I went to the URL suggested by CM. It too, suggests an Arduino Variant to be the Basis for any Weather Station. The Arduino Fio (the variant) appears to use/have : 1) Polymer Ion Batterry to run RTC (Real Time Clock), 2) micro-USB B female connector  for charging said battery (NOT used for programming/interfacing w/ this Arduino Fios), Programming, I believe is done thru a Pololu (manuf) USB AVR Programmer such as manuf. p/n 1030, MCM distributor # 83-15690, BUT I think you have to Solder onto pins on the bottom of the Arduino Fio. I just recv'd (physically) a USB AVR Programmer today but my Gertduino does Not get it's Programming thru this device. (I bought it for Insurance, in case I needed it) My Gertduino gets it's programming via the GPIO Header Pins on the RaspPi.

    Full Disclosure: I am NOT planning/building with any particular Project in Mind (like a weather station) .I am playing around w/ the various options in both H/W and S/W

    Q: How would you describe a person who re-Marries?
