Projects on the horizon

Former Member

1 Mar 2014

I have (a bunch but for this post...) two projects in mind that I want to get working on. I figure this is a good place to keep some notes and maybe even get some feedback or suggestions along the way

  1. Arduino Hi - Low - Current Temp Monitor
    1. I go on a lot of outings with my sons BSA troop and would like to know Hi, Low and current temp over a weekend.
    2. This should display on an LCD and should have batteries to last 10 days or so (for longer trips)
      1. I am ok with a display that is only on while I hold down the momentary switch and a back light is not necessary since I will have a flashlight
    3. I don't care about Date / TIme or logging to an SD card so much (although that would be a bonus) - If I go this route I would probably use the logging shield
  2. I would like to basically replicate TMRC - System 3 block card with an Arduino
    1. I don't need all the features but I LOVE the idea of using PWM to set the speed and then reading the actual speed between pulses.
    2. This combined with Block detection would allow some very cool automation type experimentation.
  3. I am still working on a NOC temperature monitor system.
    1. I have installed about 9 temp sensors and it ran great from my UNO
    2. I want my UNO back so I need to build an Arduino with USB output to gather that data and send it to a spot where we can monitor it.
