NEW GUIDE: Storage humidity and temperature monitor #Trinket #AdafruitLearningSystem
There are many things that should be stored at a more or less specific relative humidity. If not, they will dry out or get moldy. There are solutions for this, such as Bodeva. These packets absorb or release moisture to maintain equilibrium at a specific relative humidity. The problem is that these things wear out over time and stop working. But how do you know? You can put indicator paper in the container, but unless it’s clear you have to open it to check, and that messes up the equilibrium.
The answer? Technology, naturally. Goals for this project:
Audible alert if the relative humidity is too high or too low
Read all about this project and step-by-step guide to building it in the Adafruit Learning System!
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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
