Wifi Temperature/Humidity Help?
07 November 2011 - 04:37 AM
I've never attempted any kind of hardware projects before. I'm quite familiar with C# programming and someone suggested I check into the Netduino products for my project.
I'm attempting to create wifi enabled temperature and humidity sensors to monitor the environmental conditions of my plants and do interesting things with the data. The idea is that they will make an HTTP GET with the information on a schedule. They needn't be battery powered but if there are ultra-low powered options available that will allow me to use battery packs that would be great.
After a few days of research it looks like the components below might be my best option. Can someone sanity check these for me? Is there any reason to use the NetDuino Plus if I don't need wired ethernet or the SD card? Does it somehow make the TCP stack easier to use?
I also haven't seen anyone successfully use the wifi breakout I'm looking into. I need wireless N capability if possible and this is the only one that I've found? The others all say they transmit on B only.

1x HIH-4030 Humidity Sensor - http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9569
If these components seem like they might work does anyone have any suggestions on what other accessories and whatnot I should pickup to make them work together? I realize that sounds a bit silly but I have exactly 0 hardware experience and I'd like to avoid $15 in shipping for a $.30 part if I can help it.
On my list is:
soldering iron and solder
wire
break apart header blocks male, female
possibly an enclosure of some sort
I have snips of various kinds and electrical tape already.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks for reading.
