Hi I am a new guy here and to electronics. But I'm hoping to learn
enough to complete some projects I have in mind.
I'm interested in setting up a system that will control a vivarium
temperature humidity, lights pumps , etc and do it based not only on a
schedule (ex mist 3 times a day) but also on the current conditions(
ex too hot -> mist run fans,cut some lights). I know I have a long way
to go before I could build it from scatch. So the plan is to learn
the individual pieces then put them together.
some of the parts I need
build a circuit to control a relay to turn on and off a light or pump.
build a circuit to monitor and display temp
build a circuit to monitor and display humidity
build a circuit to monitor and store temp ( probably need a pic or pc)
build a circuit to monitor and store humidity ( probably need a pic or
pc )

Any suggestions on where to get started?
I already have some basic soldering skills and programming skills but
i need to do a lot more.
Hope fully I can start to pick up some of what I need here
