Our prototype is finally functional from an electrical standpoint, but we are still working on the code in LabView to convert the data. Since the temperature and humidity are located inside the same probe, its taking some creative code to split the input into the two readings. The plan is to finish up the code today, and then begin taking readings over the weekend.
Here is our completed unit with the prototype on the left. We will be using a netbook so that we can rotate where we are taking readings every 24 hours. We will begin with the lab this weekend and then move on to other locations next week.
One slight issue we are still dealing with is the conversion of the 40 bit code from the temperature and humidity unit. Instead of using labview, we will be using the arduino software to read the data this weekend to work through any bugs, then switch to labview next week.
We finished up the afternoon by brainstorming through the questions for our lesson plan and establishing our guidelines for our experiment. Hopefully the system works well over the weekend!
