Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Temp&Hum 6 Click is bsaed on the ENS210, a relative humidity and temperature sensor with I²C Interface, from ScioSense. This sensor IC integrates two very accurate sensing components: temperature sensor, and relative humidity sensor. Thanks to an integrated logic back-end section, the IC can output calibrated readings from both sensors in human-readable format (%RH, and K). The ENS210 incorporates a high accuracy thermal sensor, which can measure the temperature in the range between -40°C and 100°C while retaining accuracy of ±0.5°C. The accuracy is even greater if the range is narrowed down: when used over the range between 0°C and 70°C, the typical accuracy is ±0.2°C. Also, the repeatability of the temperature measurement is very good, in the range of ±0.1°C. The ENS210 is very reliable. It can be used for prolonged periods of time, as it has a very low thermal drift of only 0.005°C per year. After the measurement has been converted by the A/D converter which uses a relatively new hybrid-mode
technology (Zoom ADC), it is fed to a logic back-end, which applies factory-calibrated correction, and converts the raw data into Kelvins. Note that the sensor will take some time to accommodate to the ambient temperature, especially if the temperature changes quickly, considering the thermal conductivity of the PCB itself. However, the Click board™ surface is not very large, resulting in lower thermal inertia. The humidity sensor is a capacitor-based sensor, which consists of a humidity-sensitive large-area capacitor. The humidity-sensitive layer allows the capacitance changes proportional to relative humidity. The capacitance has a linear dependence on temperature, which ensures high accuracy. However, the accuracy of the relative humidity sensor changes with the ambient temperature, as well as with the %RH. The datasheet of the ENS210 offers an absolute accuracy map, covering a range of different %RH and °C values. The RH sensor accuracy varies in the range between ±2.5% and ±5.5%, depending on the
measuring conditions. This table can be used to check the exact accuracy for some specific conditions. After the measurement has been converted by a high-precision 2nd order sigma-delta ADC, the logic back-end section applies the factory-calibrated correction and converts the raw data into %RH value. Note that the capacitor-based humidity sensors commonly suffer from a small hysteresis that might occur if the sensor is used in very humid conditions for prolonged periods of time. However, this hysteresis is not irreversible. The ENS210 does not exhibit a significant hysteresis effect. The datasheet specifies it to be ±0.7 %RH in the range between 20% to 90% RH, and ambient temperature of 25 °C. Temp&Hum 6 click uses the I2C communication interface. It has pull-up resistors connected to the mikroBUS™ 3.3V rail. A proper conversion of logic voltage levels should be applied before the Click board™ is used with MCUs operated with 5V.
Features overview
Development board
UNI-DS v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different STM32, Kinetis, TIVA, CEC, MSP, PIC, dsPIC, PIC32, and AVR MCUs regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over WiFi. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, UNI-DS v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under any
circumstances at any time. Each part of the UNI-DS v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector. Communication options such as USB-UART, USB
HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. UNI-DS v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
After pressing the "FLASH" button on the left-side panel, it is necessary to open the UART terminal to display the achieved results. By clicking on the Tools icon in the right-hand panel, multiple different functions are displayed, among which is the UART Terminal. Click on the offered "UART Terminal" icon.
![UART Application Output Step 1](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703a-40a0-6b58-88de-02420a00029a/UART-AO-Step-1.jpg)
Once the UART terminal is opened, the window takes on a new form. At the top of the tab are two buttons, one for adjusting the parameters of the UART terminal and the other for connecting the UART terminal. The tab's lower part is reserved for displaying the achieved results. Before connecting, the terminal has a Disconnected status, indicating that the terminal is not yet active. Before connecting, it is necessary to check the set parameters of the UART terminal. Click on the "OPTIONS" button.
![UART Application Output Step 2](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703a-eb29-62fa-ba91-02420a00029a/UART-AO-Step-2.jpg)
In the newly opened UART Terminal Options field, we check if the terminal settings are correct, such as the set port and the Baud rate of UART communication. If the data is not displayed properly, it is possible that the Baud rate value is not set correctly and needs to be adjusted to 115200. If all the parameters are set correctly, click on "CONFIGURE".
![UART Application Output Step 3](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703b-7543-6fbc-9c69-0242ac120003/UART-AO-Step-3.jpg)
The next step is to click on the "CONNECT" button, after which the terminal status changes from Disconnected to Connected in green, and the data is displayed in the Received data field.
![UART Application Output Step 4](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703c-068c-66a4-a4fc-0242ac120003/UART-AO-Step-4.jpg)
