Final Assignment Video

In this project, I am showcasing my ability with an Arduino to track the temperature and display a minimum, maximum, and average every 10 minutes. I measured the temperature of my room located on the 4th floor of Cauthorn where the temperature likes to fluctuate. The program had to run for 24 hours so I would get around 144 outputs of an average, min, and max. I had to do some calculations such as multiplying to get 24 hours in milliseconds or 10 minutes in milliseconds. I learned that either the thermistor was faulty or my room does not like changing temperature too much. There were some issues that I had to deal with such as my laptop turning off after a period of time. To fix that, I adjusted the settings and that issue was solved. Looking at my data now, I can see how the temperature changed. Although the room's temperature did not change too much, the data did make sense. When the sun came out, the temperature rose, when it went down, the temperature decreased. I believe that other factors played into this project such as opening doors or closing windows. I did try to play with the Serial.Available function but was never able to figure out how to make it work so I manually put in the numbers. Looking at the graph, the average temperature stayed consistent in a range from 64-71 degrees Fahrenheit.
