# RIU (Remote Interface Unit)
## Setup
### Hardware
- Arduino Uno / Nano
- BMP280 breakout board (Pressure and Temperature sensor)
#### Wiring
- BMP280 VCC -> Arduino 3.3V
- BMP280 GND -> Arduino GND
- BMP280 SDA -> Arduino SDA
- BMP280 SCL -> Arduino SCL
### Software
- Arduino IDE
- Adafruit BMP280 library
## Usage
- Upload the code to the Arduino
- Open the serial monitor and type commands
- Alternatively, directly send commands to the Arduino via serial communication
- Read the RIU Datasheet for more information
## Known Issues
### Bad driver support (Windows)
Many cheap Arduino-compatible devices have limited driver support for Windows. Please refer to the manufacturers tutorials to setting up the Arduino.
### IDE Issues (Linux)
The Arduino IDE V2 has fewer configuration options, we currently recommend using the Arduino Legacy IDE. This of course may change in the future and is only a recommendation.
