Engr 103 Final Project
I am using an arduino and 10k thermistor to keep track of the temperature of my computer. In order to measure the temperature of my computer, I put the thermistor at the exhaust for my computers fans, to measure the temperature of the air coming out. I used the serial monitor in Arduino IDE to keep track of the data, and I ran the code in 3 smaller back to back chunks in order to not lose all the data if the program stopped working. Throughout this project, I measured the temperature in fahrenheit. The conclusion that I came to for this experiment was that the overall temperature for my laptop stayed pretty cool throughout the 24 hours. The max temperature that I recorded was 92.19 degrees, while the lowest was 68.23 degrees. This temperature is pretty cool compared to how warm cpu's can get. I didn't run anything too intensive during the 24 hours, so I was a little suprised it reached 92.19, but the overall temperature was pretty cool.
