Abstract

In this article, a simple application of real-time data acquisition and temperature monitoring using ChemDuino and Parallax Data Acquisition tool (PLX-DAQ) in Microsoft Excel is presented. ChemDuino is a general practice of using the software and hardware of Arduino in chemistry or general science. This setup provides benefits not only to assist users in the laboratory during thermochemistry experiments, but also to help the medical personnel to obtain progressive body temperature data in the sick bay, especially during post-pandemic situations. The setup and codes were developed using A.D.D.I.E. method and applied as a part of the health monitoring system via online video conferencing platforms, giving a promising potential for the setup. The simple version is composed of Arduino Uno R3, LCD I2C 16x2, breadboard, temperature sensor DS18B20, and wires. It had a total cost under $20. The inexpensive construction can be used as an alternative temperature-monitoring tool. The same setup was successfully utilized in two different environments in the laboratory to determine the enthalpy change of dissolution (ΔH) for NaOH in water and at the sick bay to monitor a patient’s body temperature, demonstrating the strong connection with STEM Education.
