Basement Ventilation System (1)
Humidity control with Platino
Moisture is often a problem in basements. This is frequently a consequence of condensation due to the low temperatures in basements, which are usually unheated. It frequently leads to unpleasant odors from fungal growth and damage to stored items from corrosion and wood rot, all of which are undesirable. Good ventilation can go a long way toward eliminating or reducing these problems.
Extra info / Update
Two ChipCap2 sensors for measuring relative humidity (2% accuracy) and temperature (within ±0.6°C)
4-line by 20-character LCD
Supply voltage: 8–12 V DC
Software runs on ATmega328 microcontroller (Arduino compatible)
Rotary encoder with integrated pushbutton for user interface
Controls electric window opener
Controls fan or dehumidifier

Components
The BOM (Bill of Materials) is the technically exhaustive listing of parts and other hardware items used to produce the working and tested prototype of any Elektor Labs project. The BOM file contains deeper information than the Component List published for the same project in Elektor Magazine. If required the BOM gets updated directly by our lab engineers. As a reader, you can download the list here.
