Ben Konosky's Little Piece of the Web

Two things: #1 I went and showed off the project on Ladyada’s Show and Tell on 10-8-2001. It was fun but I had to go on before two other awesome projects, so I felt mine wasn’t anywhere near as cool.

#2: I overhauled both the remote station and the base unit to look much nicer. I [...]

On the base station side, I’ve added in a DS18S20 One Wire temperature sensor, and a HIH-4030 humidity sensor from Sparkfun. Code is now even uglier, and quite frankly, embarrassing. I need to clean it up before I post it publicly.

Next step after code cleaning is getting the Ethernet module I’ve got here wired in so I can have [...]

I’ve finally gotten some time to work on the project again. I’ve gotten the remote station close to a final prototype state, and I’ve gotten the code stable on there as well.

The base part I was starting and stopping on trying to figure out the best way to read in the data over the XBee [...]

I’ve made some updates on the project. I’ve setup the XBees to be used as a serial link, and it’s working. I’m now planning on rebuilding it with the Pro Mini I picked up.  So far I have the base spitting out the temp, pressure, humidity, rough light level and the VCC voltage.

I’m going to [...]

I’ve been working on these two project together for a bit now, and I’ve decided that I should start documenting what I’ve been doing.

Right now I’m using an Arduino to start building it out, I’ve got a Sensiron temp/humidity sensor from Adafruit, and the BMP085 on a breakout board from Sparkfun. I also have some [...]
