Things used in this project

Hardware components

Particle Argon

DHT11 Temperature & Humidity Sensor (4 pins)

Breadboard (generic)

Multi-Turn Precision Potentiometer- 10k ohms (25 Turn)

Jumper wires (generic)

Story

We wanted to build a mesh device that allowed one to take data from any location and compare that data quickly and easily.

Schematics

Red - VCC connects 3V3

Yellow - Data Pin to D2

Black - Ground
