NEW GUIDE: The Schluff is a DIY Sleep Monitor that Measures Temp, Humidity, Lux, Noise, & Heart Rate!
Find the ideal conditions for a good nights rest
Built around the Adafruit Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE, this project combines multiple sensors for an all-in-one DIY sleep monitor with accessible dashboard for retrieving your sleep data:
We spend a third of our lives sleeping, and the quality of our sleep can have a big impact on how we feel during the day. Of course, being that we’re asleep during that time, it makes it hard to accurately gauge how comfortable we are at the moment. Sleep studies are one way to get accurate data – but they’re a big deal to run! Could we DIY?
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.
