Cryoscope tells you the temperature with a touch
Baku, February 10 (AZERTAC). There are a few common things we all deal with in our daily lives, no matter where we live. Take the weather, for example.
For many of us, one of the first things we think of after waking up in the morning is: what is the weather like today? Sure, you can go and dig up the forecast using your smart phone, the TV, orr computer. Or, you could use a really cool device such as the one Robb Godshaw recently created called the Cryoscope.
The Cryoscope boasts hardware that is likely familiar to computer enthusiasts. At the top of the cube is a peltier element that sits on a heatsink. The device is also equipped with a cooling fan, as well as an RGB LED on the bottom. The outside of Cryoscope is an aluminum cube that sits over the works and conducts the heat and cold to its surface for the user to feel. The Cryoscop is controlled by an Arduino device that communicates with a web app for retrieving the weather forecast in your area.
