Servo Thermometer

thingiverse

As a beginner with Arduino, I started browsing through the servo sweep example when it suddenly hit me - a servo could be used as a meter. So, I picked up a temperature sensor and combined examples from the Arduino IDE for the sensor I got, resulting in an analog-looking thermometer. This project is a breeze to get started with the IDE. It's an extremely easy, functional project perfect for someone curious about the Arduino world. The parts involved are incredibly affordable - even cheaper when buying multiple units at once. The sensor can also read humidity levels, and I'm currently working on other versions that incorporate temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure readings. Future plans include developing these variations. I used the following components: 1) The Arduino nano (available on Amazon) 2) A servo motor (also available on Amazon) 3) A temperature sensor (find it on Amazon) The file TempServo.ino is the Arduino sketch that powers this project. To replicate it, you'll need to download the free Arduino IDE. The source code contains comments detailing pin connections and setup instructions.
