Hi folks! New here
I'm just starting out and my knowledge of electronics are very limited.
My idea is to build a couple of small thermometers that i can use for homebrewing. Ranges are from 0 to 100C, but the most important is 50-80C during the mash.
Is it possible to get better precision than +-0,5C?
How small is is possible to build a portable thermometer, can i use a smaller battery than 9V that seems to be the most common?
I've seen some projects using attiny, what do you think of that? Is using an IC the most simple way to build a thermometer?
My main goals are:
- As small as possible.
- Easy to read 7-segment display.
- Waterproof probe so i can measure temp in liquids.
- Precise (is under +-0,5C possible?)
I hope a project like this can be a great learning process.
