PIC 16F877 data logger - need help!!

[shrinidhi kulkarni]

i am working on a data logger, that senses temperature & humidity. also need to alarm if values cross a threshold.

i plan to use 16f877 for this, is it okie??
and use lm35 for temp sensing . wat to use for humidity sensing(cheap IC)??
it's an academic project..wish to complete within 2 months.
Will be of great help if anyone can guide me on this...(how to program?how to simulate? and circuitry ??)

thanks in advance :-|

16F877 is OK.
LM35 is OK. Maybe is better to use some intelligent sensor like LM75 (i2C) or DS18S20 (one wire digital sensor).

As I know, compliers MicroC and MicroBASIC has implemented both protocols.
See:
mikroC PRO for PIC - C compiler for PIC microcontroller - mikroElektronika

Where you will store logged data? I suggest some extern eeprom, 877 has small eeprom inside, but for data logger it's to small.

thats a good project to learn and a good enough controller to work with....
humidity sensor is available in this have a look...

if you wish to use 89c51 or 52 then here is the circuit and code...
