Trying to build a LED Strip controller and timer to simulate a sunset.

-

i'l start saying barley have experience , learning arduino. have no problem following instructions , putting wires together, programming i'm still trying wrap head around. said i'm looking easy solution project working on. looking create artificial sunset regular 12v rgb led strip. want build controller when button pressed start slow fade 100% brightness 0% change more of yellow/orange sunset color. able control how long takes fade, possible 10 minute intervals 60 minutes maximum. incorporate reset button if possible.  have arduino uno beginner kit but if there better use  i'm open , suggestions. know need hard ware such buttons , led's i'm pretty comfortable working with. im sure isn't complicated versed im not quite sure start or how begin put kind of code , appreciated.

hi, mike.
welcome forum.

i have no problem following instructions , putting wires together, programming i'm still trying wrap head around.
that said i'm looking easy solution project working on.
i looking create artificial sunset regular 12v rgb led strip.
i want build controller when button pressed start slow fade 100% brightness 0% change more of yellow/orange sunset color.
i able control how long takes fade, possible 10 minute intervals 60 minutes maximum.
i incorporate reset button if possible.  
i have arduino uno beginner kit but if there better use  

i'm open , suggestions. know need hard ware such buttons , led's i'm pretty comfortable working with.
im sure isn't complicated versed im not quite sure start or how begin put kind of code , appreciated.
sorry mate, spreading post out point lines, make more desirable read.
how big project, number of leds , need power supply.
what ask possible, hardware needs considered make sure simple control of leds can made.
tom... :)

i'm struggling dht11 sensor work on arduino. code compiles without problems in serial monitor output keep on getting " read sensor: time out error" i've tried multiple libraries, adafruit etc still none of them worked. set serial monitor same speed (115200) didn't fix problem.  i'm using:  mega2560  dht11 temp+hum sensor windows10 x64 arduino 1.6.9 library dht11.h v0.4.1 source:  http://playground.arduino.cc/main/dht11lib wiring : blue = gnd yellow = 2 red = 5v (also see picture)  my code:    code: [select] #include <dht11.h> // //   file:  dht11_test1.pde // purpose: dht11 library test sketch arduino // //celsius fahrenheit conversion double fahrenheit(double celsius) {   return 1.8 * celsius + 32; } // fast integer version rounding //int celcius2fahrenheit(int celcius) //{ //  return (celsius * 18 + 5)/10 + 32; //} //celsius kelvin conversion double kelvin(double celsius) {   return ...

Arduino Uno + KTY81/210 temperature sensor

hi, sorry, new , unsure lot of things, need clarification. haven't found information explains how , why things work, "do this, that" i following guide ( arduino-thermistor-temperature-sensor-tutorial ) connect thermistor arduino uno. here temperature sensor information: temp. sensor 2000r +-1% to92 part.no.:   kty81-210 name:   temp. sensor 2000r +-1% to92 description:   2.5mm, 1980...2020ohm, -55...+150°c and here sensor's data-sheet: sensor data-sheet i have connected same way in guide. works , values being serial printed. what don't understand: 1. thermistor's , resistor's ohm value should equal, correct? in case 2000 ohm? 2. thermistor has ptc, i'm guessing have invert math or use ntc thermistor instead correct values? (currently resistance goes temperature goes down) 3. understand code uses steinhart-hart math logic convert resistor value temperature value, need a, b , c coefficients of thermis...
