Milk Temperature Alarm — Arduino Monitoring Prototype
An early Arduino temperature-monitoring prototype designed to read milk temperature, display it on an LCD, and trigger buzzer-alarm logic at a high-temperature threshold.
Overview
Milk Temperature Alarm was an early Arduino experiment from 2021 focused on a simple household monitoring problem: tracking milk temperature and alerting when it reaches a high level. The project used a temperature sensor, Arduino code, an LCD display, and buzzer-alarm logic. It shows Parth experimenting with sensor input, temperature readings, display output, and threshold-based alerts in a physical electronics setup. This project is useful as an early code-backed prototype because it shows the progression from simple output control to sensor-based monitoring. It also fits the larger pattern of Parth's early work: identifying small real-world problems and testing whether Arduino-based automation could solve them.
Problem solved
The project explored how a household temperature-monitoring task could be automated. Instead of manually watching the milk continuously, the system was intended to read the temperature and support alarm logic when the temperature crossed a defined threshold.
What it does
The Arduino sketch reads temperature data using a Dallas temperature sensor setup, displays the Celsius reading on an I2C LCD, and includes alarm-checking logic to activate a buzzer when the sensor reports a high-temperature condition. The threshold in the code is set around 94°C.
Contribution
Parth wrote the Arduino control logic, connected sensor reading with LCD output, and experimented with buzzer-based temperature alert behavior. The project demonstrates early work with sensors, display modules, and threshold-based automation.
