Setting up gardening system code (reading humidity)

In this section, we will set up the Arduino IDE and read humidity from the humidity sensor and print it at the Arduino serial port.

Setting up the Arduino IDE

The Arduino IDE is a free IDE provided by https://www.arduino.cc/ that makes it easy to write and deploy code on Arduino and Arduino-based boards like the Arduino Pro Mini. Before we start, you must install the Arduino IDE from the following link. You might have to select the correct version for your OS:
