Part 1 (of 2) has just gone live on our [Paessler YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/PaesslerAG/featured)! Here's what we did. [![maker monday temperature logger](https://blog.paessler.com/hubfs/blog/header/Maker-Monday.png)](https://blog.paessler.com/maker-monday-temperature-logger) Assembling a Temperature Logger Bernd, an IT administrator here at Paessler, takes us through the steps of creating a temperature logger using a Bosch atmospheric sensor (BME280) and an [ESP32](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/hardware/esp32/overview) chip as a basis (you can find out more about the reasons for choosing the ESP32 chip over something like a Ledunia stick in the video). For a full list of what we used, refer to the [parts list](https://github.com/PaesslerAG/maker-monday/blob/master/Episode_004/partlist.md) on our [Maker Monday GitHub page](https://github.com/PaesslerAG/maker-monday). This week's episode focuses on **setting up the ESP32 chip and the Bosch sensor on a PCB,** while the next part (release date: 23rd July) will show you how to **install the software and integrate the unit into Home Assistant**.
