Need coding help.

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

So I have never coded anything before in my life and I found this community from the jeremy blum youtube videos.

 

I am building a vivarium (snake cage) and would like to fully automate the temperature and humidity for it and be able to monitor and adjust the temp and humidity wirelessly over my home network. I have done a lot of research on my own and think I have all of the right parts I just need help with the coding and one small wiring connection. I will list as many details as possible below and I would love if someone here would be able to help and teach me!

 

PARTS LIST: Arduino uno r3, AM2302 (wired DHT22) temperature-humidity sensor, adafruit cc3000 WiFi shield with onboard ceramic antenna, Sain smart 4 channel solid state relay (load: 2A, 240VAC, 50/60Hz), Humidifier runs on 30 watts 120V, Ceramic heat lamp 100 watts, shield stacking headers for arduino r3, breadboard, wires, and resistors.

 

What I would like is the sensor to be in the cage (hence the AM2302 not just the DHT22) and the rest of the components outside. I would have the parameters set (Ex: 83 *F and 85% RH) and any time the actual temperature or humidity fell below those values the ceramic heat lamp and/or humidifier would turn on until those values have been reached and then they would turn off. Finally (and not a fully necessary requirement) have the data wirelessly sent to my computer over my home network so I can see actual temperature and humidity at that time and change it if so desired and a graph of temperature/humidity over time. This part is not needed I just would like it if it is possible to do.

 

As stated I have no experience in coding but I am handy with electronics and quick to learn. I do not know how difficult something like this is I just know it is way over my head.

 

If there is any information missing or any questions feel free to ask!!

 

Thank you in advance!

    Hi, that's a challenging project you're taking on Perhaps it would be good to experiment with more basic things first, like the temperature sensor only, and gradually build coding knowledge. The Arduino…

    Hi I have to agree with Frederick on this, start small and build on this small start. As you work through one bit at a time you will very quickly build up your knowledge and you will find that you won…

    This may help, a video I produced a while ago

     

    DHT22 temperature and Humidity Sensor with Arduino Uno and Ethernet Card (ENC or WizNet) (Instant weather Station)

     

    also

     

    Driving BIG loads with your micro controller - no isolation

    Sense BIG things with your Launchpad or Arduino, OPTO Isolated inputs.

    Drive BIG things with added safety. OPTO Isolators

     

    and for programming start on arduino Fast Track to Arduino Programming

     

    Hope this helps
