Theschematicforthedeviceisbelow.Iamusingthe01versionoftheESP8266WiFimodulehere.Iam
alsousinga3.3VversionoftheArduinoProMini(oracloneinmycase)totalktotheESP8266,sincethe
latterworksatthisvoltageandIdontneedtoworryaboutshiftingvoltagelevelsfrom5Vto3.3V.As
before,IamusinganLM35temperaturesensor,andIuseanArduinoanalogpin(ADC)toreadit.The
wholethingispoweredbya9Vbattery.AnLD333.3VregulatortakescareofthesupplytotheESP8266,
andsincetheArduinohasabuiltinregulator,Icandirectlyconnect9VtotheRAWpin.Forconserving
batterylife,Idothefollowing:
1.Takeatemperaturereadingevery10minutes.
2.Plotitonthingspeak.com.
3.PuttheArduinotodeepsleepusingawatchdogtimer.(IusetheNarcolepticlibraryforthispurpose.)
4.UsetheCH_PDpinoftheESP8266fordisablingthechipwhennotneeded,usingadigitalWriteon
