Temp Sensitive
Arduino's new Yún is a complete computer-on-a-chip, with WiFi access and a working version of Linux. We show you how to use Yún to manage a remote temperature sensor.
Build a WiFi-enabled remote temperature sensor with Arduino Yún
Lots of people use the now ubiquitous Arduino to automate everything from cocktail dispensers to unmanned aerial vehicles to everyday gadgets that simply make life easier.
The WiFi-enabled Arduino Yún [1] appeared on the market recently. Not only does it have a WiFi chip, it also sports an Atheros AR9331 microprocessor running a slimmed-down version of Linux. What's cool about bolting an Atheros chip to an Arduino is that you can off-load all the networking, connectivity, security, and programming tasks, so your sketches can focus on what they do best – read inputs, perhaps do a few calculations, and set outputs.
Integrating everything is the Yún's Bridge library, whose functions you can embed in your sketches, so they can talk to other systems on the network. The WiFi chip is also special, because it can either operate connected to a LAN or function as its own access point.
