Grove - Temp&Humi Sensor(SHT31)

Grove - Temp&Humi Sensor(SHT31) is a highly reliable, accurate, quick response and integrated temperature & humidity sensor. The sensor(chip) used in the module is designed with Sensirion's CMOSens^® technology. The chip is well calibrated, linearized and compensated for digital output.

The typical accuracy of this module can be ±2%RH (for relative humidity) and ±0.3°C (for temperature). This module is compatible with 3.3 Volts and 5 Volts and hence does not require a voltage level shifter. This module communicates using with I²C serial bus and can work up to 1 MHz speed. We also have provided a highly abstracted library to make this product more easier to use.

Using the sensor is easy. For Seeeduino (compliant with Arduino), just connect this breakout board with the main control board via Grove cable. Then use the provided library and example/demo code available at GitHub to get your data. If you're using an Arduino without a Base Shield, simply connect the VIN pin to the 5V voltage pin, GND to ground, SCL to I2C Clock (Analog 5) and SDA to I2C Data (Analog 4).

Getting Started

Now let us run some basic examples with this module using the library/examples provided.

With Arduino

This section shows you how to build a simple project with Arduino platform. If you are using a different type of main control board, these instructions and source code probably still helps.

Materials required

Grove - Temp&Humi Sensor(SHT31) × 1
Seeeduino 4.2 (Fully compatible with Arduino) or Arduino UNO (other models also are fine) × 1
Grove - Base Shield × 1 (This is optional if you use Seeeduino because there are two I2C sockets on Seeeduino v4.2)
USB cable (type A to type B, for Arduino) × 1 or USB cable (Type-A to micro Type-B, for Seeeduino) × 1
Grove cable × 1

Connections

If you are using Seeeduino, connect the Grove module to I2C port like:

If you are using Arduino UNO or other compatibles, first attach Grove - Base Shield V2. Then, connect the Grove module to I2C port like:
