Good day all. Did not see an introduction section of this forum so forgive me if this is in the wrong place, although i will add a question based on hardware and interfacing if that helps ;).
My name is Jason Young and im new to this technical world of Arduino and coding , so new in fact my knowledge base comes from as far back as last Tuesday and i just bought C++ for Dummies. I'm into creating Vivariums and recently a friend of mine challenged me to complete a full closed system with as much DIY as possible. The project im looking into completing is a " Vivarium Controller" and was wondering just how complicated it will be to actually get a finished product. This is what i would like the unit to do..
Read Temperature and humidity.
Have a set of potentiometers to act as a dial to set required min/max for both Temp and Humidity
Buttons to Set the above dials
Turn on a set of fans when a max temp is reached and a heater when a min temp is reached.
Turn on a misting system pump when Min Humidity is reached and turn on fans at max humidity.
Attached light sensor for a second set of functions ( same as above ) after the lights go out.
All readings to be displayed on a LCD, although i would like all this to be controlled by a touch screen interface but i think that may be just wishfull thinking.
Can this be done with an Arduino Duemilanove? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated but by no means nessesary, a simple " no, your screwed" would be ok ;D
Thanks in advance
Jason
