Building and testing hardware for cloud monitoring
In this first recipe, we are going to configure our hardware for cloud monitoring. We are also going to test the project so that we are sure the hardware is working correctly.
Getting ready
You will need a few components for this recipe. First, you will need a TMP36 temperature sensor to be used for temperature measurements. Then, you will need a photocell and a 10k ohm resistor for ambient light level measurements.
This is a list of all the components required for this recipe:
