Once your external sensors are assembled, connecting them is a snap (literally). To connect the Soil Moisture
Sensor, simply plug in the three wires to the three-pin latch terminals taking care to match the signals. For the
Weather Meters, just plug the connectors for the Wind & Rain signals into their matching RJ11 jacks on the
Weather Carrier Board.
Connecting Everything Up
With your processor inserted and secured it's time to connect your MicroMod Weather Carrier Board to your
computer using the USB-C connector. Depending on which processor you choose and which drivers you already
have installed, you may need to install drivers for your board. Refer to your processor's hookup guide for detailed
instructions on how to install them.
With your MicroMod Weather Carrier Board, Processor Board, and any external sensors assembled we can now
move on to uploading some code to monitor your environment! Head on to the next section for an example to test
all the sensors the Weather Carrier Board features.
Weather Station Arduino Example
Note:
These examples assume you are using the latest version of the Arduino IDE on your desktop. If this is
your first time using Arduino, please review our tutorial on installing the Arduino IDE. If you have not
previously installed an Arduino library, please check out our installation guide.
We've written a few examples to get started with the Weather Carrier Board. They can be found in the "Examples"
folder of Hardware GitHub Repository and will work with any SparkFun MicroMod Processor you choose. In this
section we'll only cover the comprehensive Weather Station example, but you can use the other examples to test
each sensor on the Weather Carrier along with the additional soil moisture and weather meter sensors.
