CS 530 - Team 5 - Directonal Temperature Sensor

The goal of this project is to create a device that reads the current temperature of the room and saves it if a button is pressed. If the room temperature rises or falls by one degree, the device will output "Hotter" or "Colder," respectively.

Setting Up

First, make sure you have the required hardware components and have software dependencies downloaded.

Method 1: Arduino IDE

• Download and install the Arduino IDE from here https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
• Clone this repository
• Open 530proj.ino in Arduino IDE
• Include the DHT library
  • If already downloaded, go to Include Library > Add .ZIP Libary and select DHTlib.zip
  • Alternatively, go to Include Library > Libary Manager and search for DHTLib (WARNING: not recommended
• Plug in Arduino and confirm that it communicates with the Serial
• Verify and Upload

Software Dependencies

• DHT Library (for temperature sensor)
