Weather Station: Day 9 - May 30

This morning we emailed Davis, the weather station company, about the wind sensor problem. We are still waiting for a response. We also set up a circuit using AM2302 sensor which measures temperature and humidity. We still have to download the code from:
learn.adafruit.com/dht/connecting-to-a-dhtxx-sensor
in order to read the temperature and humidity on the raspberry pi.

Today we set up another circuit identical to the one we made a couple days ago. We had an extra RFM12b so we soldered wires to the chip and connected wires and resistors in a circuit with a breadboard and the arduino just like before. We want to test to see if the RFM is working so we are going to try to get the two RFM transceivers to talk to one another. We found code that we will upload on one arduino to transmit information and on the other arduino to receive the information. The code is found on the following website:

We also have a link to a website that has the library that we need and the instructions on how to import it into the arduino IDE:
We will follow these instructions on Monday and hopefully get the two RFM transceivers to talk to one another so we can verify that the problem doesn't involve the RFM transceiver. This would mean that the problem would most likely be in the code or the connection between the weather station and the RFM.
