Small Temperature and Lightness Sensor Shield

For my wifi weather station (Arduino + ESP8266) I need an temperature and lightness sensor shield. Therefore I designed the following one.

I will publish the whole weather station later, too. Actually I'm still working on the software. But the last step shows a picture of the final design.

To build this weather station you need some parts:

• 1x stripboard 4x5 vertical
• 2x Resistor 10 kΩ
• 1x headers 4x1 male 90°
• 1x light-dependent resistor (LDR) - I use a GL5537
• 1x thermistor - I use R0=10 kΩ, beta=3950
• one short wire

I will not show the whole build up of the shield because it's easy soldering. Only the steps:

• Insert the cut in the breadboard
• solder all parts onto the right place
• Finished

Here's a brief look to the final weater station measuring

• temperature
• lightness
• air pressure
• humidity

and send the data via wifi to thingspeak.com! And all combined on a stripboard size of 5 to 6 cm.

So, follow me for the further instructables.
