Pictures
Arduino on carrier
Remove the 2 leds and the rebulator on the red circles to decrease the consumption
|
Modification to control RF module power
To reduce the consumption at minimum, add a PNP MMBT5401 and a 100R
|
Modification to reduce noise for RF module
Add a 10uF and 200uF 6V3 min.
|
Software
The project has to be compiled and loaded with Arduino IDE
Modify this line to adapt to sensor DHT22 or DHT11 :
#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT11 DHT 22 (AM2302), AM2321
