Hardware-wise, it's just a Pi and UnicornHat. I wanted to use off-the-shelf components since it's in an office environment with rather strict rules about what can be plugged into the wall.

#53Although not strictly a Raspberry Pi project, I have a couple C.H.I.P. boards[1] scattered throughout my apartment collecting temperature and humidity readings (using a HIH8120 sensor[2]) and feeding it to my Raspberry Pi which runs InfluxDB and Chronograf[3] to store and display a simple dashboard. The end result looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/cIrhSUq.png [1]: https://getchip.com/ [2]: https://sensing.honeywell…
This is really cool! I've been thinking about a similar idea lately and this seems like a great way of doing it. Do you by chance have any material on how you got the honeywell sensor working with the C.H.I.P. board? (This would be my first electronics project)
Here's the program I wrote to read the sensor over I2C: https://gist.github.com/tsyd/f48e933a21fb40b9f9eea28118f54e0...

#54Recreating the Sony Aibo robot dog using a pile of cheap servos, 3 axis gyro, the camera, wireless, neopixel lights, LiIon power, etc. Shoulder joints, body shell and chassis 3d printed. Total cost is around $150. Locomotion is largely based upon the designs documented by Cynthia Brezeal Ferrell (MIT mobile robots lab, under Prof. Rod Brooks) in her PhD thesis for the hexapod robot, Atilla/Hannibal. The first attempt…

I know it's Kickstarter but it will be shipping very soon and you can already download the files to cut your own if you're into that.
(Disclaimer: it's my project!)

Interesting... But what do you do with this data?

This was my first electronics project as well and I chose the Honeywell sensor because it has decent humidity accuracy (which is what I was mostly interested in) and a bonus temperature sensor built in. It uses the I2C protocol for communication which I found pleasant to work with although it would probably be simpler to just use am analog voltage sensor. Here's the program I wrote to read the sensor over I2C: https:…
