Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Temp&Hum 2 Click is based on the Si7034, a digital humidity and temperature sensor IC with I2C interface, from Silicon Labs. It is a digital relative humidity and a temperature sensor that integrates temperature and humidity sensor elements, an analog-to-digital converter, signal processing, calibration, and data correction on the chip. Each chip is factory calibrated, and the calibration data is stored in its non-volatile memory. The maximum accuracy achieved with this sensor is ± 4% RH for the humidity range from 0 to 80%. Besides the humidity sensing element, this sensor includes an accurate thermal sensor, which can achieve up to ±0.4 °C. It is used in conjunction with the humidity measurement, to allow thermal compensation of the relative humidity measurements. This sensor IC also has an integrated heating element that is used to evaporate condensation reducing the effect of the offset accumulation when used in high humidity conditions, or to implement dew-point
measurement when the Si7034 is used with a separate temperature sensor. The heating element current can be adjusted by the appropriate bits in the Humidity Control Register. Due to the nature of the used sensors, a special care should be taken to reduce the sensor contamination to a minimum. Particles, dirt or other artifacts collected on the surface of the exposed polymer film will affect its ability to measure the humidity, and therefore, the manufacturer recommends protecting the sensor against particles. The sensor otherwise has a long aging period with minimal drift. Synthetic long-term stability tests show less than 0.25 %RH per year drift. The data provided by the IC is ready to be used directly. Two measurements are done when a command is received via the I2C. One is the humidity measurement, while the second is temperature measurement, used for the compensation. Si7034 IC operates on 1.8V and therefore, a small LDO has to be used to convert 3.3V from the mikroBUS™
power rail, down to 1.8V. In addition, the I2C signal voltage levels also have to be converted so it can be used with the MCUs operated with 3.3V. For this purpose, the Click board™ utilizes the PCA9306, a level shifting IC, made by Texas Instruments. It uses 1.8V as the first reference voltage and 3,3V from the mikroBUS™ power rail as the second reference voltage, shifting the I2C communication signal levels, allowing this Click board™ to be used with MCUs operated at 3.3V. The sensor IC is physically located away from other components on the Click board™, so the heating influence of the surrounding components or PCB is reduced to a minimum, allowing the accuracy of the Click board™ to stay within the specifications. The i2C lines of the IC are routed to the mikroBUS™ and supplied by the pull-up resistors, allowing this Click board™ to be used right out of the box. Temp&Hum 2 click uses only 3.3V rail from the mikroBUS™.
Features overview
Development board
Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board is a fully integrated 32-bit development platform featuring the high-performance PIC32MZ EF Series (PIC32MZ2048EFM) that has a 2MB Flash, 512KB RAM, integrated FPU, Crypto accelerator, and excellent connectivity options. It includes an integrated programmer and debugger, requiring no additional hardware. Users can expand
functionality through MIKROE mikroBUS™ Click™ adapter boards, add Ethernet connectivity with the Microchip PHY daughter board, add WiFi connectivity capability using the Microchip expansions boards, and add audio input and output capability with Microchip audio daughter boards. These boards are fully integrated into PIC32’s powerful software framework, MPLAB Harmony,
which provides a flexible and modular interface to application development a rich set of inter-operable software stacks (TCP-IP, USB), and easy-to-use features. The Curiosity PIC32 MZ EF development board offers expansion capabilities making it an excellent choice for a rapid prototyping board in Connectivity, IOT, and general-purpose applications.

Application Output via Debug Mode
1. Once the code example is loaded, pressing the "DEBUG" button initiates the build process, programs it on the created setup, and enters Debug mode.
2. After the programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions within the IDE becomes visible. Clicking the green "PLAY" button starts reading the results achieved with the Click board™. The achieved results are displayed in the Application Output tab.
