Assembling the Weather Station

To build our IoT sensor hub, we’ll need some sensors and a way to attach those sensors to the board. Typically, sensors are tiny chips that must be attached to circuit boards called breakout boards. These boards are beyond the scope of this book, but the good news is that there are plenty of interfaces and pre-built breakout boards at our disposal. We’re going to use a solderless connect interface called Qwiic Connect System. Using the Qwiic Connect System, we’ll be able to attach I2C[23]-compatible sensors to our Nerves IoT and get up and running in record time.
