This Mega Meter project was built around the ATmega128 microcontroller wherein the GCC 3.2 is used to fully program the microcontroller while VB 6 is used to program the PC interface.
The project illustrates the design of an accurate water level sensor that is comprised of capacitance probe, analog electronics unit, and digital electronics unit.
The project aims to produce a hypersensitive digital thermometer that can be used to view the temperature measurements on a computer program by monitoring the state of COM ports of a PC through RS232 interface.
The project is a web controlled and monitored Smart Thermostat or better known as ThermoSmart which is a combination of Arduino and Thermostat that can function in manual or auto mode.
The project illustrates an advanced digital thermostat that employs the PIC18F1320 microcontroller wherein three multiplexed LED displays were allowed to be driven while easily reading the temperature from a digital sensor.
The project aims to monitor the power consumption for an entire house by utilizing current transducers, an Arduino, and some custom software wherein the power measurements are graphed and made public on a web server.
