Makers, hobbyists and electronic enthusiasts looking for a project to keep them busy this weekend may be interested in this awesome Arduino temperature and humidity sensor which has been created ...

I used an LCD shield to display the current temperature and speed of the fan, but you can use the circuit without the LCD display. You also need to select the transistor by the type of fan that you ...

The chip comprises an analog temperature sensor that converts temperature to analog voltage. Unlike resistive sensors, this linear active thermistor chip does not require an additional signal- ...

After the temperature sensors detect deviance from the set point, or upon SMS instruction, the Freeduino will crank up the heat through a 5V relay attached to the home’s boiler.

You'll need an Arduino along with a bunch of various sensors to get the project rolling, and once it's all set up you'll have a simple, but cheap system to monitor your home.

John Boxall, author of the new book Arduino Workshop, shares a few of the projects from his book on how to get started with the microcontroller. (Click the links to see PDFs of the complete ...
