Last week, I presented a temperature monitoring solution using Arduino at a national conference for the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD), the body responsible for accrediting laboratories like the one I work for.
Actually, I made that presentation twice at the conference. Once to the IT committee and once to the business managers committee.
I received positive feedback and interest from several attendees in both sessions.
That project’s success — and therefore the presentation — would not have been possible without the patient help in the Adafruit forums and extremely helpful examples posted here at Adafruit. So, while I mentioned in the presentation that my project built on the examples found here, I wanted to post a quick thanks to everyone at Adafruit and on the forums.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
