We show you how to build a thermometer with the Picaxe. With a little more effort and more components, you can build more display devices.

The Picaxe chips are not suitable for complex home automation because they have too little computing power. You can easily connect and program your own sensors for this.

In addition to the chip and temperature sensor, you only need a motor and a handful of components for a thermometer, which should be lying around in most craft basements.

Picaxe: Programming microcontrollers with BASIC




Instead of void() and pointer arithmetic, Picaxe-BASIC also offers complete beginners understandable commands with many functions for controlling hardware. Our series shows how easy it is, explaining the software, hardware, and commands required to do it. This makes programming your own projects even easier than with the Arduino-C.

Other useful display devices can also be created with little effort. With an analog humidity sensor, for example the HIH-4000, you can just as easily build a hygrometer to display the humidity.
