Integral Design

The modules available for .NET Gadgeteer now include some interesting modules by Seeed Studio.  This example uses two of them:

• Temperature Humidity Sensor
• OLED Display

The application code is very simple, as shown in the following block.

using Microsoft.SPOT;

using GT = Gadgeteer;
using Gadgeteer.Modules.GHIElectronics;
using Gadgeteer.Modules.Seeed;

namespace TempHumidity
{
    public partial class Program
    {

        void ProgramStarted()
        {
            temperatureHumidity.MeasurementComplete +=
               new TemperatureHumidity.MeasurementCompleteEventHandler(temperatureHumidity_MeasurementComplete);
            button.ButtonPressed += new Button.ButtonEventHandler(button_ButtonPressed);
            Debug.Print("Program Started");
        }

        void button_ButtonPressed(Button sender, Button.ButtonState state)
        {
            if (button.IsLedOn)
            {
                temperatureHumidity.StopContinuousMeasurements();
                button.TurnLEDOff();
            }
            else
            {
                temperatureHumidity.StartContinuousMeasurements();
                button.TurnLEDOn();
            }
        }

        void temperatureHumidity_MeasurementComplete(TemperatureHumidity sender, double temperature, double relativeHumidity)
        {
            double fahrenheit = (temperature * 1.8) + 32;
            led.TurnOff();
            oledDisplay.SimpleGraphics.Clear();

            oledDisplay.SimpleGraphics.DisplayText("Temperature: " + fahrenheit,
                Resources.GetFont(Resources.FontResources.NinaB), GT.Color.Yellow, 5, 40);

            oledDisplay.SimpleGraphics.DisplayText("Rel Humidity: " + relativeHumidity.ToString(),
                Resources.GetFont(Resources.FontResources.NinaB), GT.Color.Yellow, 5, 80);

            if (fahrenheit < 63 || fahrenheit > 75)
                led.BlinkRepeatedly(GT.Color.Yellow);
        }
    }
}

Note: Don’t use higher voltage than needed to drive components.  Excess power is dissipated as heat.  After running this example for a few minutes on this 9 volt battery, the power module was hot.  See this discussion on the GHI Electronics forum: http://www.tinyclr.com/forum/21/5013/#/1/msg47518
