Yes, just eliminate the temperature and humidity sensor from the hardware and eliminate the code that supports it.

Yes, just eliminate the temperature/humidity sensor from the components and within the code.

I sent you a private message. You should see it under your Instructables profile.
View Instructable »Here is my latest code. It has a few extras with the SMS Message and Email:/** * This Arduino Project will monitor a reed switch attached to any door/window to determine if the door/window is opened or closed. * It will also capture the temperature and humidity from a DHT11 sensor. * It logs the status of the door and the DHT11 sensor in Google Doc and after dark it sends SMS messages when the door/window is left open. * It also makes use of the TimeZone database to set the internal system clock to accurately measure time. * * Major components of this project were derived by observing various examples on the internet espically from Instructables.com */#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>#include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>#include <ArduinoJson.h>#include <TimeLib.h>#include "…

Unfortunately due to some family matters I was not able to look at it yet. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow night. Sorry
View Instructable »I was able to find some time this evening to turn on the system. I didn't have any issues with it logging the reed switch. I also have an EPS32 that I might try the code on tomorrow if I have enough time but as far as the ESP8266, everything is still working as layout in the Instructable. I did modify the code once to send SMS messages when the door is open after a certain timeframe (9:00 PM EDT). Would you like to see that code too?

I'm not sure by just looking at it. I'll have to test it out myself. Unfortunately I do not have the hardware with me at this time. I will do my best to get access to the hardware this week. However, if you don't hear back from me by weeks end then please drop me a little reminder.

Do you have the 10k ohm resistor connected to the reed switch? If not, that is probably your problem. Also, I bought several inexpensive reed switches and found that at least 1 of those was faulty. So, if you are confident that the reed switch is properly connected to the 3.3 volts, ground and the 10k ohm resistor then you may just have a faulty reed switch. As for off-line recording of the events, I actually have not tried off-line storage, so I can't provide you with any guidance on that subject.Good luck!

Great job. Why did you need to put a capacitor on that circuit?

Hi PierreV16, For the 6 servos that I used in my creation I was able to run all of them off of the 5V from the Uno but if you are going with 12 servos then I would think you would need to power them separately. Good luck and please let me know how it turns out.

Yes we do. Do you have them too?
- SpecialRobotBuilders commented on SpecialRobotBuilders's instructable Animated Spooky Pumpkin Eyes
Oh yes, the comment is incorrect. Originally we had planned on having 8 eyes but later settled on only 6. Therefore the comment should be changed to say "Move all 6 servos". The reason we eliminated 2 servos is because the interior of the pumpkin we used got really tight with only 6. If you have a larger pumpkin you can have 8 servos but you will need to change the servo array to hold 8 servos and the for loops would also need changed from 6 to 8.Thanks and good luck.
Cool

Yep, the kids love it and so does dad!
- SpecialRobotBuilders commented on SpecialRobotBuilders's instructable Animated Spooky Pumpkin Eyes
Yes, that would work well. In this case, however, they move fast to surprise the kids. ;-)

I love your design. I was wondering how you took apart the hamster ball?

Thanks! We do have both the dark side and droid develper. Bought them new in the 90s, I think. Dragged them out of storage to let the kids play with them.
Yours looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.
