# Background

This hardware used in this project is:

• 1x Raspberry Pi 2 Model B+
• 2x Arduino Micro
• 3x nRF24L01+ 2.4Ghz Wireless Modules
• 1x MCP9701 TO-92 Temperature Sensor

The Raspberry Pi is used as a master node and is connected to one nRF24 module. The Arduino Micro's are setup as remote sensor nodes with each having connected to to it a nRF24 module and an analogue temperature sensor.

# Arduino Hardware Setup

# Raspberry Pi Setup

The assumption is that the Raspberry Pi is running the latest version of the Raspbian OS with the latest updates.

The latest updates for Raspbian can be installed by:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

# Sensors

The datasheet for the MCP9701 temperature sensor is available at: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/20001942F.pdf Other sensor can be connected to the system, see the other sensor section of this wiki.
