In this project, I'm trying to learn about Arduino by building a Temperature Controller using a DHT11 Temperature Sensor. The read temperature will be displayed on a 16x2 Liquid Crystal Display.
Check tutorial for this project at https://www.elexlabs.com .
- Arduino Uno Rev3
- DHT11 Temperature Sensor
- 16x2 Liquid Crystal Display
- 330 ohm resistor
- 10K potentiometer
- 12V power supply adaptor
- jumper wires
For this project, I wasn't using the Arduino IDE for compiling and uploading the source code, instead, I'm using PlatformIO IDE.
Why PlatformIO? That is because I prefer a proper IDE that has syntax highlighting and that I also want to manage a custom library within this project.
