Hardware and software requirements

Firstly, you need to secure your Intel Galileo board. This will serve as our microcontroller board. Note that we'll use Gen 2 for this project.

We'll only use two sensors—a DHT11 and a photocell. We will need the DHT11 for the temperature and humidity measurements and the photocell for measuring the ambient light level.

Aside from these major components, you will also need a 1N4148 diode, 4.7K and 10K Ohm resistors, breadboard, jumper wires, and, of course, an SD card.

Here is a list of all the components needed for this project:

Intel Galileo board (https://www.adafruit.com/products/2188)
DHT11 sensor + 4.7K Ohm resistor (http://www.adafruit.com/product/386)
1N4148 diode (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8588)
Photocell (https://www.adafruit.com/products/161)
10K Ohm resistor (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8374)
Breadboard (https://www.adafruit.com/products/64)
