Moisture and temperature sensors data logging on an SD card


Moisture and Temperature sensor data logger (temperature sensor TMP36)  on an SD card ( Using SPI protocol)







/*  A simple data logger for the Arduino analog pins  */
/*  After some studying of both codes, i came up with this.
 These example code is in the public domain.
