Nothing fancy, but it was a useful exercise in getting hardware and software to talk to each other.</p> <p>You can <a href="https://www.shafiq.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/proj_format_.doc">download the project report</a>.</p> <h2 id="what-it-does">What it does</h2> <p>The system reads temperature from external sensors, converts the analog signal to digital, logs the readings with timestamps, and exposes the data over a serial link so a PC can pull it. A 16x2 LCD shows the current state locally.</p>
