 +Katherine is set up with a different set of temperature and humidity sensors to the other two sites (DHT11 compared to DHT22). The Raspberry Pi in the maser room also has an Arduino board attached to it for the accelerometer and some analog temperature sensors.

 Connect the Raspberry Pi to the Arduino via a USB cable. The Arduino will get power via the cable but it's a good idea to also give the Arduino power via a DC power supply as this provides a more stable reference voltage for the analog sensors. Connect the Raspberry Pi to the Arduino via a USB cable.
