Description

I noticed a little while ago when looking at test rig 1 and 2, that the reported air temperature of each were 5 degrees apart, and the only difference was that one was in a mast while the other was exposed to the open air. that's made it obvious that the air temperature data we're collecting is not particularly accurate, but I'm guessing there is some kind of function that would model the offset caused by housing the DHT inside the mast, which we could factor into it what it reports to make the data more accurate.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current temperature data collection code to understand how the DHT sensor readings are processed. Research typical temperature offset models for sensors housed inside a mast versus open air. Propose a simple linear or polynomial adjustment function, implement it, and test against known data from test rigs 1 and 2.
