Arduino Temperature Sensor/Logger
I’ve always wanted a temperature logger for my computer. After some reading I found a pretty easy solution for added temperature sensing to an Arduino project. After building the circuit I programmed a quick and dirty serial data logger application in VB2008.
I added a 10k pot to try calibrating the sensor but always had a discrepancy between it and my desk thermometer. I’m going to look into geting another thermometer to see which one is lying. You can see the circuit, software and a sample plot of the temperatures overnight in my computer room below.

The temperature in the computer room from bedtime to wake-up. The next version of code will add some averaging of the samples to improve accuracy.
