Hardware Overview

How does it work?

Temp&Hum 23 Click is based on the SHT45, a digital sensor platform for measuring relative humidity and temperature at different accuracy classes from Sensirion. The SHT45 builds on a wholly new and optimized CMOS chip offering reduced power consumption, high accuracy, and a digital I2C interface for the fastest data transfer. It covers extended operating humidity, and temperature ranges from 0 to 100%RH and from -40°C to 125°C with accuracies of ±1%RH and

±0.1°C. The SHT45 communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-wire interface. The sensor performs best when operated within the recommended average temperature and humidity range of 5-60°C and 20-80% RH. Long-term exposure to conditions outside the recommended normal range, especially at high relative humidity, may temporarily offset the RH signal. After returning to the recommended average temperature and humidity range, the sensor will recover to

within specifications. This Click board™ can only be operated with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Features overview

Development board

PIC18F57Q43 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit is a cutting-edge hardware platform designed to evaluate microcontrollers within the PIC18-Q43 family. Central to its design is the inclusion of the powerful PIC18F57Q43 microcontroller (MCU), offering advanced functionalities and robust performance. Key features of this evaluation kit include a yellow user LED and a responsive

mechanical user switch, providing seamless interaction and testing. The provision for a 32.768kHz crystal footprint ensures precision timing capabilities. With an onboard debugger boasting a green power and status LED, programming and debugging become intuitive and efficient. Further enhancing its utility is the Virtual serial port (CDC) and a debug GPIO channel (DGI

GPIO), offering extensive connectivity options. Powered via USB, this kit boasts an adjustable target voltage feature facilitated by the MIC5353 LDO regulator, ensuring stable operation with an output voltage ranging from 1.8V to 5.1V, with a maximum output current of 500mA, subject to ambient temperature and voltage constraints.

Software Support

Library Description

This library contains API for Temp&Hum 23 Click driver.

Key functions:

  • temphum23_soft_reset This function performs the software reset by sending the soft reset command.

  • temphum23_read_serial_num This function reads the 4-bytes unique serial number by using I2C serial interface.

  • temphum23_read_measurement_high_precision This function reads the temperature and humidity measurements with high precision.

Open Source

Code example

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.

 *
 * # Description
 * This example demonstrates the use of Temp & Hum 23 Click board by reading
 * the temperature and humidity data.
 * 
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initializes the driver, performs the sensor software reset and then reads
 * and displays the sensor unique serial number.
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * Reads the temperature (degC) and the relative humidity (%RH) data and 
 * displays the results on the USB UART approximately once per second.
