Introduction

The BadgerStick that you received by visiting a SparkFun booth at one of the various events we've attended can be hacked to perform a wide variety of tasks. The BadgerStick is a fully capable microcontroller that can sense the environment around it.

This tutorial will guide you through turning your BadgerStick into an environment sensing station. We'll do so by adding a temperature sensor and a soil moisture sensor.

NOTE: The BadgerStick and RedStick are two different products. The BadgerStick (aka BadgerHack) originated as an event-only platform to aid SparkFun in teaching soldering and programming at events like Maker local Faires and SXSW. The RedStick evolved from that concept and is the retail version of the BadgerStick, available for sale on SparkFun.com. All of the BadgerStick tutorials and expansion kits are compatible with both the BadgerStick and the RedStick, unless otherwise stated.
