Arduino Examples

Example 1: Reading SHTC3, STC31, and SGP40

Below is the combined example to read SHTC3, STC31, and SGP40. If you have not already, select your Board (in this case the MicroMod Artemis), and associated COM port. Copy and paste the code below in your Arduino IDE. Hit the upload button and set the serial monitor to 115200 baud.

language:c /****************************************************************************** WRITTEN BY: Ho Yun "Bobby" Chan @ SparkFun Electronics DATE: 10/19/2021 GITHUB REPO: https://github.com/sparkfun/MicroMod_Environmental_Sensor_Function_Board DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT SPECIFICS: Firmware developed using Arduino IDE v1.8.12 ========== DESCRIPTION========== This example code combines example codes from the SHTC3, STC31, and SGP40 libraries. Most of the steps to obtain the measurements are the same as the example code. Generic object names were renamed (e.g. mySensor => mySGP40 and mySTC3x). Example 1: Basic Relative Humidity and Temperature Readings w/ SHTC3; Written by Owen Lyke Example 2: PHT (SHTC3) Compensated CO2 Readings w/ STC31; Written by Paul Clark and based on earlier code by Nathan Seidle Example 1: Basic VOC Index w/ SGP40; Written by Paul Clark Open a Serial Monitor at 115200 baud to view the readings! Note: You may need to wait about ~5 minutes after starting up the code before VOC index has any values. ========== HARDWARE CONNECTIONS ========== MicroMod Artemis Processor Board => MicroMod Main Board => MicroMod Environmental Function Board (with SHTC3, STC31, and SGP40) Feel like supporting open source hardware?
