How to make (DRAFT)

Overview

Building this (In theory) shouldn't be very difficult but I expect there to be some issues that arise. And I already have some in mind.

Below are the order of steps to take to make this. And to start we're going to build the dehumidifier

1. Dehumidifier

2. Humidifier Tear down

3. Wiring

4. Cutting and Assembly

 

1. Dehumidifier

I cannot say I'm fully confident in this design but It should work in theory. You are going to want to put the Small Thermoelectric cooler kit together but instead of putting the SR-01 Thermoelectric cooler you will want to put the TEC-12706 into the fixture. Now keep in mind that the cold side should be on the flat side. And the warm side should be outside with the air going into it, an ASCII diagram below should clear any confusions

   (air intake)
       ↓
   [   FAN   ]  → pushes air INTO the heatsink
   [ HOT HEATSINK ]
   ------------------- wall -------------------
   [   COLD PLATE   ]

I also may have to get a DC-DC Buck converter for the fan in this kit because the Humidity controller proviedes 12V while the fan can only use 5, The Buck converter should only be about 4 dollars though.

2. Humidifier Tear Down

Now I haven'tam orderednot thefully parts so I cannot say exactlysure how all this will go.work Butas howI don't have it yet but I'll try to explain what I think I need to do. So In order to power this I will beNEED gettingthe DC-DC Buck converter to change the controllers 12V to 5V (and it also makes it USB as an added bonus). The plan as for the water supply I hope I can say.just use a Gatorade bottle (or anything for that matter) and just have it shoved in there with it mounted (I have not decided how yet) to the container.
