edit, its now sending floats, which would be the correct way. image update. shutdown adc to try to get more bat life and added bmp085 so all sensors now digital. updated code below.
im sure theres tons of these around, and im really interested in weather stations since taking these readings would be the first step in learning how to control the weather and take over the world. i wish i knew how to optimize code, thats my next step. this station sits outside and uses a dht11 and a mpx4115 pressure sensor and transmits data wireless using the rf24 library. it also writes the data to an eeprom to dump later for spreadsheet usage. i get temperature, humidity, barometer, heat index and dew point. ive put together a serial reader using micro visual studio as a finishing touch for reading out on a laptop. i had a lot of fun making this and now im gonna see how it can be better, especially since i got my 18b20 in the mail today. suggestions appreciated. code below.
im running this entire project off a cellphone battery using an mcp1253 boost/buck ic, at 3.3v, with the atmega328p at 8Mhz ext crystal @ 3.3v.

here is the clock im using, totally compatible with rtc library, sends interupt every minute to wake the system, takes samples, then goes back to sleep for a minute.
