Need µC or Arduino!

Arduino

● Open-Source Hardware● Compatible hardware available from many

vendors● Easy to Learn● Flexible

● We'll use it to speak to a digital temperature and humidity sensor and...

● ..."translate" it to simple serial messages the XIG can understand

The Board We'll Use

Seeed Studio Seeeduino Stalker v2

idigi_data:names=temperature&value=22.5

Activity 1 - Part 1

1. Download Arduino software from http://www.arduino.cc
