MONITORS THE SURROUNDING TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT: I made a device that monitors the surrounding temperature and humidity and sends an email when the temperature or humidity strays from a certain bound. This device will be used monitor the temperature and humidity of the lenses used in a quadrupole ion trap quantum computer.

PROJECT OVERVIEW: In response to the fine dust epidemic in South Korea, I decided to make a machine that analyzes the amount of dust in the air. This way, I would be able to check the dust levels wherever and whenever I want. For this project, I bought the Sharp Dust Sensor GP2Y1010AU.

STEP 9
SEQUENCE
PROCEDURE Using an official tutorial for this project on the Arduino website, I wrote the code and made the circuit for reading the measurements of the GP2Y1010AU. However, when I ran contraptions, the sensor only outputted measurements of zero.

SEQUENCE
PROCEDURE After spending a lot of time trying to find the flaw in my code or circuit, I realized that the actual problem was in the tutorial on the Arduino website. They had a mistake in their breadboard diagram. Thus, I contacted the Arduino.org Support Team through email and got this error fixed.
