Weather Station: June 9- Day 15

Today we started by getting the information from the weather station into columns instead of multiple lines. This would make it easier to read the data and eventually put it on plotly.

Dr. McColgan got the ethernet shield to work at her house. On the following link you can see a real-time plotly plot of the temperature and humidity as measured by the DHT22 sensor:

We now have to put the same information onto plotly without using the ethernet shield, but with a USB cord connecting the arduino and raspberry pi. We simplified some code to read humidity and temperature from the DHT sensor and print it into two separate columns.

For the rest of the day, Dr. Moustakas helped us create a code to put the temperature and humidity onto plotly with only the USB cord. We got a graph to read temperature, but now have to figure out how to make multiple graphs because the sensor reads temperature and humidity. This part is tricky and we have to make adjustments tomorrow.
