It was possible by the idea from my friend Mr. Denis Vidal, the space that my supervisor gave me, prof. Dr. Emanuel Carrilho, [http://sites.google.com/site/biomicsgroup/ BioMicS Group], [http://www.iqsc.usp.br/ Instituto de Química de São Carlos], [http://www.usp.br/ Universidade de São Paulo], Brazil, and by facilities and suggestions from prof. Dr. Claudimir Lucio do Lago, [http://sites.google.com/site/laiaiqusp/ LAIA Laboratory], [http://www.iq.usp.br/ Instituto de Química da Universidade de São Paulo], Brazil. Thanks [http://www.fapesp.br/ Fapesp - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo] by the financial support for my different projects during my academic life.

#Importance and Applications
## Importance and Applications

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH pH] is a very important property in aqueous solutions. The pH is defined the colog (-log) of the hydrogen ion (H^+^) activity in the medium (or concentration when the H^+^ is low quantity). This property indicates if the medium is acid, neutral, or basic.
Potential of Hydrogen (pH) is a very important property in aqueous solutions. The pH is defined the colog (-log) of the hydrogen ion (H<sup>+</sup>) activity in the medium (or concentration when the H<sup>+</sup> is low quantity). This property indicates if the medium is acid, neutral, or basic.

For example, it is necessary control the pH of an aquarium. Some species of fish can not live out of a range of pH. So, we need read it and make the write correction of the pH. Other areas or applications where is important to know the pH are hydroponic, fermentation processes like beer and wine production, environmental monitoring of soils, water of rivers, lakes, and rain, sewage treatment tanks, monitoring of solution and buffers in laboratories of chemistry, and etc.

#Overview
## Overview

The pHduino can operate using a LCD to display the pH and the temperature data like a pH meter. Also, you can control it using a computer by USB port.

Again, it is not intent to be a high resolution analytical instrument to compete with a commercial pH meter. It is to be simple, easy to understand, easy to modify, and different!
