Setting up the Vaisala Temperature and Humidity Probe

Parts

The Vaisala temperature and humidity probe has a few key components when it comes to setting up the instrument.

  • Sensors and Sensor Cap/Shield - The shield/cap protects the sensors from damage, while the sensors collect data on temperature and humidity.
  • Shield - Protects the entire upper area of the apparatus from harsher conditions.
  • Wires - At the end of the cord, there will be seven (7) exposed wires of the following colors: clear (no plastic covering), green, yellow, blue, white, red, and black.
    • Clear - Shield wire: it protects the other wires from interference from the surroundings.
    • Green - [Needs to be updated]
    • Yellow - Temperature Signal
    • Blue - Humidity Signal
    • White - Grounding Signal wire
    • Red - Power (positive)
    • Black - Grounding power (negative)

Setting up the Probe

By now, you should have your Raspberry Pi computer completely set up, with a DAQ HAT.
