Hello everyone... I want to start a temperature control project... I searched the forum and found one other related post, but it didn't really help me in my question... I have never done an electronic project before, but I'm certain that I can pull it off...
I was wondering though if you all could give me some advice on the materials that I need to purchase, in order to put this project together...
So this controller that I'm wanting to build, would work like this, it displays the temperature, you set whether you want it to heat or cool, set a desired temperature, and set a temperature buffer amount. When the temperature crosses the threshold, it provides power to the 120VAC electrical outlet.
So I was thinking about starting off with an Arduino Leonardo board and Temperature Sensor - Waterproof (DS18B20)
That's about all I got so far though... I'm not sure what you would call a component that I could use to turn on and off the power to a 120VAC electrical outlet
Thank you in advance for your time.
