Arduino Atmospheric Heat Flow Measuring Module

Overview

This Atmospheric Heat Flow Measuring Module is designed to measure ambient temperature levels and regulate airflow. Housed in a custom black desktop panel enclosure, the system uses industrial-grade sensing elements to track heat changes. Core Functionality: • High-Accuracy Heat Tracking: Utilizes a rugged thermocouple probe to read atmospheric temperature levels reliably. • Expanded Display Interface: Features a high-contrast 16x2 LCD interface utilizing I2C serial communication to show real-time temperature data, system diagnostics, and status updates. • Active Cooling Control: Integrates an onboard 12-volt high-speed exhaust fan that can be activated to provide ventilation and heat dissipation. • Object/User Proximity Sensing: Includes an infrared (IR) sensor, enabling the device to detect when a user is nearby or to trigger readings automatically. • Portable Power Design: Uses an XL6009 DC-DC Buck controller to power the Arduino board, with multiple independent rocker switches mounted on the control panel for dedicated power and accessory management. Package Includes: • Fully assembled Atmospheric Heat flow Measuring Module
