Sensors!

Over the course of the summer, I decided on and purchased the sensors that I will use for the basic meteorological observations (temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and wind direction).  

The ones I decided on are:

1.) Bosch BMP085 - Pressure and Temperature

2.) Sensiron SHT11 - Humidity and Temperature

2.) Melexis Technologies Hall Effect Sensor - Wind Speed

4.) Bourns Inc. Potentiometer - Wind Direction

Basically, I tried to incorporate sensors that fulfilled three requirements.  These were affordability, accuracy, and ease of use.  I will go through each of the sensors individually in the posts to follow!
