The past month or so I’ve been playing with the Maxim DS1307 Real-Time-Clock and DS1621 Temperature Sensor ICs. I hooked them up to an Arduino Uno board with a Parallax Serial 16×2 Character LCD. I ...

The DS18B20 is a digital temperature sensor from Dallas Semiconductors, which is now part of Maxim (https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS18B20.pdf). The ...

A programmable temperature and process controller for use by the maker community has been designed to be Arduino-compatible. Called the SmartPID it can be programmed on a PC via the USB port using the ...

Environmental sensing technology has become increasingly vital in today’s world, where understanding and monitoring air quality and environmental conditions are crucial for sustainability and safety.

The first step is a thermistor, a conceptually simple device: resistance varies with temperature (seriously, how much more simple can a sensor get?). You can measure them by tapping the center of a ...

Good science fiction has sound scientific fact behind it and when Tony Stark first made his debut on the big screen with design tools that worked at the wave of a hand, makers and hackers were not far ...
