Weather Station: Day 6- May 27

Today we got the raspberry pi to read the voltage the arduino sent. We then programmed the arduino to convert the voltage into a temperature. We learned how to read and save data using python . This is so we can look back at data from months ago which is our ultimate goal with the weather stations. Also, we have others sensors besides this temperature one that we still have to test.

This is the circuit with a temperature sensor. We have the arduino (right) connected to the bread board (left). 

Earlier in our research we found a link that would help us connect the La Crosse Weather Pro to the arduino using a RFM12B transceiver. This is that link again: http://nikseresht.com/blog/?p=99
On this link we found a picture of the circuit that we needed to make. The wires that are free right now have to be connected to the RFM by soldering them together. The little green square to the left is the RFM transceiver.

Lastly, today we tried to get the new Vantage Pro2 weather station connected to a different Windows computer. This time we tried a Windows 7 but the same problems occurred. We might need a different computer to download the software for this weather station.
