How does it work?

SHT AN Click is featuring SHT31-ARP-B that was built on a completely new and optimized CMOSens® chip, which allows for increased reliability and improved accuracy specifications. Sensor can be ordered with filter membrane which is a PTFE film that protects sensor from opening from water and dust.

Since the SHT31-ARP-B is a temperature and humidity (T and RH) sensor with two analog outputs for each measurement, and on the mikroBUS socket we have only one Analog output we multiplexed sensor output by suing 74LVC1G3157GV, 2-channel analog multiplexer/demultiplexer. Switching between temperature and humidity measurements is performed by asserting the selection input (SEL) which is connected to the multiplexer and by that way selecting desired data output.

Measured data is supplied as radiometric voltage output, after reading the temperature or humidity analog signal user will have to do conversion to a physical value. The physical values as measured by the sensor are mapped to a radiometric voltage output (VT, VRH as 10 to 90% of VDD). Prior to conversion into a voltage signal, the physical values are linearized and compensated for temperature and supply voltage effects by the sensor. Additionally, the voltage output is calibrated for each sensor.

The nRST pin is active low and may be used to generate a reset of the sensor. A minimum pulse duration of 1 µs is required to reliably trigger a reset. The nRST signal is routed to the mikroBUS™ RST pin.

This Click board™ can be supplied and interfaced with both 3.3V and 5V without the need for any external components. The onboard SMD jumper labeled as VCC SEL allows voltage selection for interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.

Software Support

We provide a library for the SHT AN Click on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Library Description

The library covers all the necessary functions to control SHT AN Click board.

Key functions :

• void shtan_set_mode ( uint8_t adc_mode ) - Set ADC mode function.
• void shtan_reset ( void ) - Hardware reset function.

Examples description

The application is composed of three sections :

• System Initialization - Initializes GPIO and start to write log.
• Application Initialization - Initialization driver enables - GPIO, sw reset, initializes ADC, set ADC channel and sets ADC read mode.
• Application Task - (code snippet) This is a example which demonstrates the use of SHT AN Click board. Measured temperature and humidity ADC data and calculate temperature data to degrees Celsius [ ??C ] and humidity data to percentarg [ % ]. Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes. All data logs on usb uart for aproximetly every 3 sec.

void application_task ( )
{
    shtan_calculate_temperature( );
    mikrobus_logWrite( " Temp. : ", _LOG_TEXT );
    display_log( temperature );
    mikrobus_logWrite( degCel, _LOG_LINE );

    shtan_calculate_humidity( );
    mikrobus_logWrite( " Hum.  : ", _LOG_TEXT );
    display_log( humidity );
    mikrobus_logWrite( " %", _LOG_LINE );
    mikrobus_logWrite( "------------------", _LOG_LINE );

    Delay_ms( 1000 );
}

• void shtan_calculate_temperature ( void ) - Calculate temperature
• void shtan_calculate_humidity ( void ) - Calculate humidity
• void display_log ( float value ) - Displays readings as floating point value with two decimal places

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our LibStock page.

Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:

• ADC
• UART
• Conversions

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.

mikroSDK

This Click board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
