Thermostat Peripheral

Requires:

• averclock available here (put it in the same dir as thermostat)
• OneWire Arduino library here (with help) - Install to /Applications/Arduino/Resources/Java/libraries

Building and Uploading

To get the Arduino IDE or Ino to build and upload you have to make it think you want to upload to a Arduino Duemilanove w/ ATmega328.

To do this with Ino:

1. ino build -m atmega328
2. ino upload -m atmega 328
3. Done.

Or thanks to averclock and ino.ini you can just do ino build && ino upload

Things that need doing

• [ ] Finding a thermocouple component worthy of accurately determining the temperature of a room.
• [ ] Use Averclock to help produce a timer for the Arduino mircocontroller.
• [ ] Develop a system that allows the microcontroller to communicate with a computer.
• [ ] Create a low cost battery and charging system for power cut protection.

Temperature Sensors

• Can use TMP36 (I own one)
• DS18B20 Digital Temp Sensor Calibrated temperature readings. Temperature reading sent over data line as serial equivalent using 1-Wire protocol.

Parts List

• DS18B20 Digital Temp Sensor

• 7-seg by 4 Serial Display?
