Atmel AVR HACK - Temperature Controller using Microcontroller AVR
2008-01-27 00:49:00 Check out the Atmel AVR temperature controller hack, although I made a better one last year that can be controlled via ethernet, the case looks awesome! Wine doesn’t like subzero temperatures, and during wintertime, my “winecellar” got pretty cold. There was an electric heating element, but the thermostat was broken, so it was either full burn or nothing. That’s how the temperature monitor/controller came to be. It was an obvious task for a small processor and I’ve always wanted to test the Dallas temperature sensors. So, I designed this little device which could monitor the temperature and control the heater. via Aboutmicrocontroller.blogspot.c-om atmel, atmel avr, Circuits, Cool, DoItYourself!, educational, Hack, heating element, Industrial, LED, Microcontroller, projects, subzero temperatures, temperature controller, temperature monitor, temperature sensors, thermostat, wine, winecellar, wintertime
