Arduino WiFi Weather Web Server Prototype

Building on previous work, the Arduino WiFi 101 Shield will now be configured to broadcast weather information, using a slow but effective temperature/humidity sensor, the DHT-22.

Connecting the device was accomplished with a slightly modified set of procedures from the original example found on AdaFruit. Most notably the use of 3.3V vs 5V to support the different levels on the Arduino Zero.  Note that a 10K pull-up resistor is also used on pin 2.




After compiling and downloading the sketch below, the temperature/humidity was successfully obtained and published/visible on the network via Chrome.



The source code used to implement the WiFi Weather Web Server is seen below.
