 ## Weatherstation setup with ESP8266, DHT11, and BMP280
 
 weatherstation coding for:
-esp8266
-DHT11 sensor
-BMP280 sensor
+  * esp8266
+  * DHT11 sensor
+  * BMP280 sensor
 
+This weatherstation will connect to a wifi network, then start a webserver, and serve up the data it collects.
+The DHT11 sensor provides temperature and humidity.  The BME280 sensor provides temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude.  I have the DHT sensor serving temperature data in celcius and faharenheit.  On the BME sensor altitude is reckoned using barometric pressure and sealevel pressure - i didnt want to mess with that because my sensors will be distrubuted.  Because of that I set altitude as a contant for the location im setting up for.
 
 photo/schematic will be posted soon
 the setup is pretty simple
