Hardware Overview

How does it work?

Temp&Hum 21 Click is based on the HIH8130-021-001, a highly accurate, fully-calibrated digital humidity and temperature sensor from Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions. 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 +120°C. The typical accuracy for humidity is ±2%RH in the measuring range of 10 up to 90%RH at ambient temperature and ±0.5°C for its operating temperature range with low power consumption. The HIH8130-021-001 communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read and write data supporting

Fast Mode operation with a clock frequency up to 400kHz, providing factory-calibrated 14-bit data to the host controller. High 14-bit humidity and 14-bit temperature sensor resolution within the application help the user’s design detect the slightest relative humidity or temperature change. It also has an alarm feature with configurable alarm thresholds routed to the ALH and ALL pins of the mikroBUS™ socket for preset control at a minimum and maximum humidity and temperature. These alarm thresholds are set to generate alarms when the actual values in the devices cross the defined threshold values.

To activate the external setting of the alarm thresholds, it is necessary to populate resistors R4 and R5, which are not populated by default, to enable an external setting on an unpopulated header in the middle of the Click board™. 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. However, the 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

Fusion for ARM 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 ARM® Cortex®-M based 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, Fusion for ARM v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under any

circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for ARM 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. Fusion for ARM 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 - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.

Software Support

Library Description

This library contains API for TempHum 21 Click driver.

Key functions:

  • temphum21_read_measurementThis function requests measurement and waits for a measurement to complete and, after that, reads the temperature in Celsius and relative humidity in percents.

  • temphum21_get_all_pin This function returns the alarm low (ALL) pin logic state.

  • temphum21_get_alh_pin This function returns the alarm high (ALH) pin logic state.

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 21 click board by reading
 * the temperature and humidity data.
 * 
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initializes the driver and performs the click default configuration.
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * Reads the temperature (Celsius) and humidity (Percents) data and displays the
 * results on the USB UART approximately once per second. It also checks if any alarm
 * is detected on the humidity measurement.
