Sensirion SHT11 Sensor Module (#28018)
Precision Temperature and Humidity Measurement
Introduction
When it comes to precision temperature and humidity measurement, Sensirion (www.sensirion.com) has
simplified the process their SHT1x sensor series. Through a two-wire serial interface, both temperature
and humidity can be read with excellent response time and accuracy. Parallax has simplified the use of
the SHT11 by mounting it in a user-friendly 8-pin DIP module. The module includes a data-line pull-up
and series limiter making it possible to connect directly to the BASIC or Javelin Stamp.
Features
Temperature range: -40 F (-40 C) to +254.9 F (+123.8 C)
Temp. accuracy: +/- 0.5 C @ 25 C
Humidity range: 0 to 100% RH
Absolute RH accuracy: +/- 3.5% RH
Low power consumption (typically 30 W)
Connections
The SHT11 is interfaced to the Stamp over two I/O pins. The 4.7 k pull-down resistor on the clock is
optional but may be required if your application experiences sensor lock-up.
