Hardware Overview

How does it work?

Temp&Hum 14 Click is based on the HTU31D, a digital relative humidity sensor with temperature output from TE Connectivity. Both sensors inside the HTU31D are individually calibrated, compensated, and tested. The humidity can be measured within a range of 0 to 100 %RH, while the temperature sensor is designed for a range of -40 to 125 °C. The typical accuracy for humidity is ± 2 %RH in the measuring range of 20 up to 100 %RH at ambient temperature and ±0.2 °C for temperature between 0 - 100 °C with power consumption down to 3.78μW. This Click board™, an I2C configurable environmental sensor, is characterized by high reliability and full interchangeability with no calibration required in standard conditions. It has a quick recovery time after long periods in the saturation phase, low power

consumption, and fast response time. Also, this sensor provides sustained performance even when exposed to extreme temperatures up to 125°C and humidity environments. Temp & Hum 14 Click communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a maximum frequency 10MHz. The HTU31D can answer 2 I2C addresses and allows the choice of the least significant bit (LSB) by positioning SMD jumpers labeled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 0 and 1. In addition to this feature, this Click board™ also contains additional functionality routed to the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket. The RST pin can generate a sensor reset with a minimum pulse duration of 1 μs required to trigger this function. The HTU31D also offers a diagnostic register that can be used to check whether

the values for humidity and temperature are outside the specified range. The CRC check (Cyclic Redundancy Check) ensures secure data transmission. The humidity and temperature signal response time, as well as the recovery time (after complete condensation), are within a range of a few seconds. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Features overview

Development board

UNI Clicker is a compact development board designed as a complete solution that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different ARM, PIC32, dsPIC, PIC, and AVR from various vendors like Microchip, ST, NXP, and TI (regardless of their number of pins), four mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a debugger/programmer connector, and two 26-pin headers for interfacing with external electronics. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, it allows you to build

gadgets with unique functionalities and features quickly. Each part of the UNI Clicker development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the UNI Clicker programming method, using a third-party programmer or CODEGRIP/mikroProg connected to onboard JTAG/SWD header, the UNI Clicker board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. It provides two ways of board-powering; through the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector, where onboard voltage regulators provide the appropriate voltage levels to each component on the board, or using a Li-Po/Li

Ion battery via an onboard battery connector. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board (plus USB HOST/DEVICE), including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and several user-configurable buttons and LED indicators. UNI Clicker is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output

After loading the code example, pressing the "DEBUG" button builds and programs it on the selected setup.

Application Output Step 1

After programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions available in the IDE appears. By clicking the green "PLAY "button, we start reading the results achieved with Click board™.

Application Output Step 3

Upon completion of programming, the Application Output tab is automatically opened, where the achieved result can be read. In case of an inability to perform the Debug function, check if a proper connection between the MCU used by the setup and the CODEGRIP programmer has been established. A detailed explanation of the CODEGRIP-board connection can be found in the CODEGRIP User Manual. Please find it in the RESOURCES section.

Application Output Step 4

 * # Description
 * This is an example that demonstrates the use of the Temp-Hum 14 Click board.
 * Temp-Hum 14 Click board can be used to measure temperature
 * and relative humidity.
 * All data logs write on USB uart changes every 3 sec.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initialization driver enables I2C, and
 * hardware reset the device and read the serial number.
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * Reading temperature and humidity, and loging it on the USB uart.
