Thermometer: diy

You can build this lamp. You will only need a little knowledge about the arduino platform. To make this lamp, you will need:

1. The following hardware parts:
   • one arduino board
   • with an ethernet shield for arduino
   • a blikm maxm smart led
   • an lm35 temperature sensor
   • a lamp to accomodate all the hardware. I have used a centrera lykta from ikea
   • and a usb AC adapter to power your lamp. You can get a US or European adapter from deal extreme 
2. Build the lamp:
   • plug the ethernet to the arduino board
   • connect the lm35 to the arduino analog pin 0 (or any other modifying the source CODE)
   • connect the blinkm maxm to the digital pin 9
   • here you can get more details about the blinkm connection
   • drill some holes and screw or glue the components inside your lamp
3. You will the following software:
   • the arduino IDE
   • download this arduino library
   • download the thermometer source code
4. Register you thermometer in this web
5. Prepare the software:
   • copy the communication key from your sensor page
   • replace the communication key in the thermometer source code
   • copy the sensor key from your sensor page
   • replace the sensor key in the thermometer source code
6. Plug your arduino board to your computer, compile and upload the program
7. Plug your arduino board to the ethernet board and it's done

The phybo thermometer was inspired by these projects:

• pscmpf's arduino lm35 project.
• arkadian's arduino-controlled ikea lamp.
• Toon Beerten's led mood lamp.
• All the arduino community and projects.
