Use MLX90614, DHT22, BMP180 and Arduino to collect cloud height data.

Parts:

Arduino Uno R3

DHT22

MLX90614
BMP180

1 x 1K ohm resistor

Breadboard

Breadboard wires

 

Software:

Attached code for Arduino.

 

If you are going to reformat the data output for long term collection, I suggest a longer wire connections for the DHT22, and put it under a radiation shield. UV exposure will degrade this sensor.

 

I used 3 volts and not 5 volts for the BMP180, and the MLX90614 in order not to fry the sensors.
