Product Details
This remarkable multifunctional environmental sensor integrates the SHTC3 temperature and humidity sensor, BMP280 barometric pressure sensor, VEML7700 ambient light sensor, and ML8511 UV sensor. It provides five key environmental parameters, offering a comprehensive view of your surroundings. Professional - grade sensor chips are used for each parameter measurement. The circuit design carefully considers the layout and heat conduction of the main chips, ensuring high - precision data collection. With an onboard MCU processing chip, it converts raw sensor data into standard - unit values like °C, °F for temperature, % for humidity, Kpa for barometric pressure, lx for light illuminance, and mw/m² for UV light. This sensor supports both UART and I2C communication methods and comes in two versions: Gravity and Fermion (breakout). Complete Arduino and Python libraries are also provided. Compact and well - crafted, it's perfect for creating indoor and outdoor environmental monitoring systems. It simplifies your project wiring and coding. Key features include a Gravity interface for easy plug - and - play, switchable I2C and UART output modes, high integration for simultaneous multi - data testing, and a reasonable layout for high precision. Applications range from home indoor and outdoor environment detection to professional environmental monitoring work. Specification details: It operates at 3.3 - 5V DC with a 45mA current, outputs signals via I2C and UART, and works in a temperature range of - 20 to 70°C. The product size is 32mm×32mm (1.26×1.26 inch), and it has M3 mounting holes with a 25mm center - to - center distance. Each sensor has its own performance details: the BMP280 barometric pressure sensor measures from 3000 - 1100 hPa with high accuracy; the SHT - C3 temperature and humidity sensor offers high - resolution and accurate readings; the ML8511 UV sensor is sensitive to UV - A and UV - B wavelengths; and the VEML7700 ambient light sensor has a wide range and good accuracy. Included in the shipping list are one Gravity Multifunctional Environmental Sensor and one Gravity 4P Connector.
Using this Gravity Multifunctional Environmental Sensor is a breeze. First, connect it using either the UART or I2C communication method according to your needs. If you're a beginner, the Gravity interface allows you to simply plug it in without soldering. You can use the provided Arduino and Python libraries to quickly start collecting data. For indoor or outdoor environmental monitoring projects, just place the sensor in the area you want to monitor. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures outside the - 20 to 70°C working range as it may affect the accuracy of the sensors. Also, be gentle when handling the sensor to prevent damage to the delicate components. If you encounter any issues, refer to the product wiki or schematics for troubleshooting.
