Arduino Due and HDC1008 example

by shedboy71

The HDC1000 is a digital humidity sensor with integrated temperature sensor that provides excellent measurement accuracy at very low power. The device measures humidity based on a novel capacitive sensor. The humidity and temperature sensors are factory calibrated.

The sensing element of the HDC1000 is placed on the bottom part of the device, which makes the HDC1000 more robust against dirt, dust, and other environmental contaminants. The HDC1000 is functional within the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Key Features

Relative Humidity (RH) Operating Range 0% to 100%
14 Bit Measurement Resolution
Relative Humidity Accuracy ±3%
Temperature Accuracy ±0.2°C
Supply Voltage 3 V to 5 V
I2C Interface
