The Investigation of a Low Cost DAQ with Arduino and Node red for on/off relay switch alternative

README.md

Arduino code that is written on the arduino IDE. The code consists of the on/off algorithm and source codes found online for ds18b20 and thermistor sensors. This is read through the com5 port(applicable) and is fed into a node palette for either the ds18b20 or thermistor in order to plot the graph depiction of the temperature behavior of each sensor, this analyses must be done for each sensor one at a time. A simultaneous visual display does not work. The live data capturing is saved as a csv format on a specified folder that the user must create
