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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
