Tropical or Arctic?
No Sweat! This Temp. & RH Meter logs it all
This project, in order to be appealing in such an extensively explored subject, incorporates a number of interesting features never put together in one single circuit, some of which even only available on professional equipment. Its main functions are to measure temperature and relative humidity.
