Weather Station: Day 11 - June 3

Today we made a circuit with a DHT sensor, which measure temperature and humidity. We followed instructions on the following link:
https://learn.adafruit.com/dht/using-a-dhtxx-sensor
We were successful and the picture below shows the output that the serial monitor showed.


Then we made a plotly account using the physuser login. This is to display our data from the weather station. We are using code from the following link to graph temperature and humidity.

We are testing this code with a DHT sensor and there are instructions on the link as well. This code, however, will not upload and it keeps giving us error messages. This is possibly because we didn't have an ethernet cable. We will try again tomorrow with the ethernet cable. Eventually we want the data from the weather station to make graphs on plotly.

We also contacted Davis about the newer weather station. After almost an hour with them on the phone, they are going to send us a new rain collector and anemometer. Hopefully the new sensors will be working and we will be able to read the data on the computer with the software that we downloaded. That weather station is suppose to arrive at the beginning of next week.
