Arduino is a newly developed open source hardware and software system. Yet it has drawn the attention of a large technology community. Its less technical design and affordable cost are basic features that enlarges its large volume of use, where the compatibility with many other electronics and possibility of extension are interesting characteristics that increase the range of its use. Arduino hardware is simply a motherboard which can be used to make interacting objects with suitable computer programming (IDE-Integrated Development Environment).
The idea of this thesis was to build an Arduino-based embedded device for monitoring environmental variables: humidity and temperature and to study its performance in different temperature and humidity. The device was built using the microcontroller Arduino and sensors, which could sense the temperature and amount of moisture inside a building and provide information in a serial monitor and a liquid crystal display. Out of many clones and different available microcontroller boards, Arduino Uno was used in this thesis project.
This thesis has two parts-a theoretical part which gives a basic introduction to the materials and equipment used during the project and the second part provides stepwise process for connection and circuitry. The project was successful to meet predetermined goals, implementation was possible with the help of the Arduino book, previous work of another student and related internet sites where most of the information is available.
