Its coming along

Not that hard really with the Arduino. You only have to write the init and your main loop. Most things you will interface with it come with a library and examples. I just start with the example and modify to taste. I have it reading the sensors and putting the data to the displays now as well as moving the mount. Just purchased a pair of ESP8266 wifi modules and I'm working on getting those interfaced now. Very easy to use those they have a built in AT command set like the old modems. Its 3 layers now. The Arduino mega then the shield for the display then a proto board that has the wifi module. The module on the white pegboard is the temp/humidity sensor. Thought about mounting that with the wifi but I think the heat from the electronics will throw it off so I'll put it on a 1x1 inch pegboard so I can place it away from anything heat producing.
