Adzuki is the name of my millipede, named after the adzuki bean. He prefers a temp of 21-24 deg C and humidity of 70-80% and what better way to make him comfy than with an automated vivarium. Controlled by a RPi 02w and coded in python :)

Fill this space with my completed python script. In case someone is curious abot it. lipsum orem lipsem lorem test test gonna make thi text scrolling see if it works just keep typing up this test text space words words words free flow lol ok is this enough text now? I hope so we will see. my python script is like 170 lines of code so far and i still gotta add more. keep writing just a little bit more lets see how it looks after this. test ipsum lorem ipsum lorem etc etc this webpage is really coming along and starting to look fantastic. i love it and im actually really quite proud of it too its been a big learning experience. the time is now 1 pm on a sunday april 12th or 13th i dont even know of the year 2025

Here you can see I have got my script logging the sensor readings as well as date and time into a .csv file. All 4 variables are seperated by a comma so I can easily pull them out again and send them to my webpage or text them to myself maybe I'm not sure as of yet. I might make a script that automatically gitbash/pushes the updated file to my github/website. Or maybe I'll finally figure out how to host an actual database/backend for my site and use SQL.
Probably have to make it so the file rewrites over itself after x amount of entries so I don't end up with ungodly sized file. I have it log the reads once a minute so maybe I'll have it rewrite itself after 10,080 lines/entries. Thats 1 week worth of reads/minute. Probably not that much data even, considering I have a 256 GB sd drive on my pi controlling the terrarium. But still I kind of want to set it and forget it and not have to worry about it filling up my drive after a few years of continous service
