This week we were given the assignment to measure something. We were to add a sensor to a microcontroller board and read the sensor
For my final project, I will need to mearuse the temperature inside a small green house. If the temperature gets too high a fan will have to be started to move some air around inside this house so the plants do not get over heated. Since we just have to measure something this week, I am going to measure temperature. My electronic skills are very minimal and my programming skills are about the same. What I need is can be used from the Fab Academy web site notes under the heading of temperature.

Board:
The Completed Board as redrawn in Eagle. I used the provided "C' program and makefile from the Fab Academy Web Site. The links can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
