The goal of this project was to build a program and component configuration that can take the users body temperature (finger touch) powers the leds of the project in response to the disparity between a set base temperature and the input temperature from the sensor. The most challenging part for me was the program calibration. Finding a base temp close to room temp was hard to do, and it made attempting to make sure the sensor was working more difficult.I’d rate this one a C in difficulty. Getting more used to the basics is making some of the projects a bit easier in general. Code and hardware troubleshooting are gonna be consistently more of a problem because of the nature of introducing and combining components. This project took me about 2 hours to complete. In that time 45 minutes we’re on building and testing. Another 45 was spent on the code. The remaining time was spent on documentation. I could see this being modified to have something to do with detecting the temperature of bottled drinks. Perhaps determining if something is cold enough if the temperature reaches a value.
