Regarding hardware, we used two independent but similar configurations. Our first test case used the DHT22 sensor and secondly we used the SDI-12 pressure transducer. Assembling the system hardware was relatively simple, requiring minimal soldering and very few tools (i.e. drill, soldering iron, solder, pin-wire connector, male-to-male jumpers). All of the parts were purchased online and are listed, excluding sensors, along with their prices and online purchasing locations in Table 1. Table 2 lists the same information for the two sensors we used.
