#!/usr/bin/env python
#
# GrovePi Project for a Weather Station project.
#	*	Reads the data from light, temperature and humidity sensor 
#		and takes pictures from the Pi camera periodically and logs them
#		coming soon:  reading atmospheric pressure(BMP180)
#	*	Sensor Connections on the GrovePi:
#			-> Grove light sensor						- Port A2
#			-> Grove Temperature and Humidity sensor	- Port D4
#			-> Raspberry Pi Camera
#			-> Grove Pressure sensor (BMP 180)			- Any I2C port, I2C-1, I2C-2, or I2C-3.

#
# NOTES:
#	*	Make sure that the Pi camera is enabled and working. You can see detailed directions here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/camera-module-setup/
#	*	The GrovePi connects the Raspberry Pi and Grove sensors.  You can learn more about GrovePi here:  http://www.dexterindustries.com/GrovePi
#	*	Have a question about this example?  Ask on the forums here:  http://forum.dexterindustries.com/c/grovepi
