Hooking It Up
To get up and running with the Weather Shield you'll need the following parts:
- Arduino, RedBoard, or other compatible board
- Arduino Stackable Headers
- Optional: GP-645T GPS Module and 1.75" mating cable
- Optional: Two RJ11 6-pin Connectors
- Optional: Weather Meters
Shield on a RedBoard with optional weather meter ('W'ind and 'R'ain cables) and GPS attached
Assembly
Solder the stackable headers onto the shield, and insert the shield into your Arduino. You are welcome to solder in the RJ11 connectors to the top of the board as well. If you have the GP-635T GPS module, don't worry about attaching it at this time, we'll get to GPS later.
