Jay and Jaimie make an Arduino humidity and temperature sensor for workshop! Woodworking, 3D Printing, Arduino/Electronics, this project has a lot of great stuff!

Learn how we built a walnut dovetailed case and used easy-to-find Arduino components to build a stylish and useful humidity and temperature monitor for the wood shop. This DIY project showcases a bit of woodworking with walnut dovetails and beginner electronics using an Arduino Uno and some excellent parts from Adafruit.

We live in Central Texas where we get massive swings in Humidity and Temperature in the Spring, which can be disastrous for certain woodworking projects. This cool project helps to alert us when the humidity is changing or starts to get high so we can take precautions like moving our wood projects into the house, or not doing any milling during the high humidity weather. It also looks awesome and has our sweet logo.
