Progress update

Quite a lot of work has been done this week. The humidity sensor was ordered and arrived. It was interfaced and scaled. It works great. The anemometer was also ordered. I spent a great deal of time building up the two interface boards and preparing the wiring. The two pulse inputs for the rain gage and anemometer were also changed to use interrupts. Debounce circuits were also constructed for the pulse inputs since they use reed switches. The dew point was also calculated and added to the display since we now have temperature and humidity data. The only things left to do are interface and scale the anemometer.
My other group members and I did not meet this week. We are all doing a good job of working independently. We met with our mentor last week and did not meet with him this week.  All of the sensor code has been written in a "beta" version. The windsensor's specs were published on the web and the scaling was generated from that.

            
Action Items:
Test new anemometer when it arrives.
Finalize sensor interface code.
Work with Safa on placing the boards in the case
Work with Ross on the audio if needed.
