what is a safe temperature for arduinos and other electronic components??

nmmbeginer

ok guys so i have a problem. right now my electronic work area is in the basement and i am running out of space. so i thought that i might move to my shed that is in the back yard. but the shed is not climate controlled and so it gets really hot ( like a max of 102 F) in the summer and cold ( below freezing) in the winter. i guess my question is it this an ok place to keep my arduinos and other electronic things or not. right now it dose get a little damp in there but i can fix that by putting the windows on and keeping the door shut.

    John is right on the money there, I just want to add an additional thing

     

    If your using the shed as storage and have suitably bagged items with deccasent etc, that is great but you need to be aware of bringing something from the shed (Cold) into the House workshop (Warm), it will suddently get a large amount of condensation on the packaging as it is moved into the warm house. Give it a few hours before removing or even opening the sealed packaging to prevent the condensation forming on or in the electronics stuff

     

    If your running out of space in the basement, use the shed for storage of infrequently used items and the basement area for the LAB image, if you want insparation of the use of a SHED for a workshop, checkout our own TM web site http://workshopshed.com/ and also http://www.ianjohnston.com/, they both operate from the Garden Shed and have videos on how they setup for use,

     

    EDIT: Forgot to mention, storage temperature range is far wider than operating temperature, gear "STORED" int he shed can happily handle below 0 to over 100
