Surrounding environment is full of data. It can be temperature, pressure, humidity, light intensity, sound level. LVL1 Luisvile Hackerspace have put a sensor array board to collect most of these data. It is based on Arduino compatible Atmega328 microcontroller.

Most sensors are well known and widely used among hobbyists. Temperature is measured using TMP102, humidity and temperature is also measured with DHT11. Another sensor BMP085 also incorporates temperature sensor along with pressure and altitude sensors. So here are totally three temperature sensors… There also are couple light sensors CDS and TSL230R that measures ambient light intensity. For proper data logging there are RTC chip that keeps counting date-time. Additionally there is a sound detector on board where you can get sound level at particular time or simply trigger actions with sound. Fun toy to play with…
