Investigation Into Temperature Sensors

Introduction

In this project I will be investigating how it is possible to use a temperature sensor to keep a greenhouse from changing temperature too much. This is intended to help plants live and grow in their optimum temperature. This will create a perfect temperature for the enzymes in the plants to work in, and therefore resulting in a maximum growth/production rate. This could be useful for gardeners who wish to grow plants as quickly as possible or maximise profits by maximising the product yield from their plants (for example; fruit, vegetables etc.) The aim is to set up a circuit that will automatically react to a change in temperature by allowing a heater (or similar device) to operate until the temperature is restored to the original, optimum temperature.

Preliminary Work

First of all, I will test a few sensors and analyse the results to decide on which on one is best for this particular experiment. The best sensor to use...
