Measuring Temperature
By
This project aims to measure how hot or cold my dorm room gets at this time of year. I did this primary using an ESP32 and a 10k ohm thermistor to measure the temperature and send it back over serial to my computer. I did this over a 3 hour period to collect data and graph the temperature against time to visualize the data which can be seen in this project. I expect it to be warm in my room at night. After collecting the data we can conclude that the test the temperature changes very little during the late night (Roughly 1:30 to 4:30 a.m.). Temperatures stay fairly cool at an average of 68.495 degrees Fahrenheit which is not what I expected. Additionally there was a max of 68.54 degrees and a min of 0 degrees which is most likely an error in reading.
