This pack includes everything you need to build a light and temperature data logger with an Arduino. The Adafruit data logger shield records sensor readings to an SD card with real-time timestamps, while the included photocell and TMP36 temperature sensor provide light level and temperature measurements from –40 °C to 125 °C.

Tested and compatible with Arduino Uno, Leonardo, Zero, Due, and Mega R3 or later.

Key Features

  • SD Card Logging – Data logger shield writes sensor data to an included 8 GB SD card
  • Real-Time Clock – On-board RTC for timestamped readings
  • Light Sensing – CdS photocell for ambient light measurement
  • Temperature Sensing – TMP36 analogue sensor (–40 °C to 125 °C)
  • Battery Powered – 6× AA battery holder with 2.1 mm jack for portable use

Ideal For

  • Environmental monitoring projects
  • Science experiments and data collection
  • Learning about sensors and data logging
  • Arduino-based field measurements

Package Contents

  • 1× Adafruit data logger shield for Arduino
  • 1× 8 GB SD card
  • 1× CdS photocell
  • 1× Pack of 10 kΩ resistors
  • 1× TMP36 analogue temperature sensor
  • 1× 6× AA battery holder with 2.1 mm jack (unassembled)
Note: Arduino board not included. You will also need 6× AA batteries, a CR1220 coin cell (for the RTC), wire, and soldering tools to assemble the project.
