This multifunctional environmental sensor integrates the precision of the SHTC3 temperature and humidity sensor, the reliability of the BMP280 barometric pressure sensor, the sensitivity of the VEML7700 ambient light sensor, and the advanced LTR390 UV sensor (upgraded from ML8511 in V1.0) into one comprehensive device. By blending five different environmental measurements into a single compact unit, it provides precise evaluations through professional sensor chips selected for each parameter, ensuring data accuracy through thoughtful circuit design and heat management.
An onboard MCU processing chip converts raw data into universally standard units, enabling ease of interpretation and application. Measurements are seamlessly translated to Celsius and Fahrenheit for temperature, percentage for humidity, KPa for pressure, lux for light illuminance, and mW/cm² for UV intensity, allowing direct use in varied applications from data logging to real-time monitoring systems.
The sensor supports dual communication interfaces, UART and I2C, and is available in two versions: Gravity and Fermion (breakout). Comprehensive libraries for Arduino and Python further simplify its integration into projects, from DIY indoor plant monitoring setups to sophisticated automated weather stations. Compact and elegant, this DFRobot sensor unit eliminates the complexity of wiring and code, empowering users to focus on their creative environmental monitoring ideas.
