The great Arduino

[StonerStuart]

Hey fellow peeps,

I have recently discovered the little Arduino and some endless possibilities. I know I might be jumping on this wagon late but I’m on.

You can really let your imagination run wild.
I’ve got a servo to open my blinds and I know the temperature in like each area of my garden.

You can literally take anything and with the right ‘Googling’ you can connect it to an Arduino and get stuff done.

I have looked low and high for resellers or shops specific to these and everything around them. Shops are just robbing us and the online shops are dodgy sometimes.

I found www.jvzdigitalsourcing.com/
Is like the only place you can buy from knowing you’re getting the best and the staff are so helpful. Even though I never bought the last time I just asked for info and the service is something else.

Oh and obviously the prices are the deciding factor besides for the quality and the service.

Almost the same as this: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-Arduino-Thermometer-With-DS18B20/

I sector use these because they are water resistant

Pretty simple but don’t skimp on the sensors or you’ll only have accurate readings for two weeks then the rust or water or whatever messes with those cheap sensors.

And wash the oil marks off the sensors or boards always!
