sensor is best for simply placing outside for exterior weather sensing.
Humidity readings have 4.5% precision, temperature is 0.5% precision. A microcontroller is
required to interface. The sensor is not washed after reflow and is rehydrated according to
datasheet requirements.
The sensor is essentially just a Sensiron SHT-10 with the 4 data/power wires brought out so any
SHT-1X code for a microcontroller will work. The sensor works with 3 or 5V logic. The 1 meter
long cable has four wires: Red = VCC (3-5VDC), Black or Green = Ground, Yellow = Clock, Blue =
Data. For Arduino, there's a handy Sensiron library with example. For Propeller, there's an
SHT1X sensor object. Don't forget to connect a 10K resistor from the blue Data line to VCC.
