Lesson 35: Using HTU21D Temperature Sensor | Arduino Step by Step Course

Please select other codes for this lecture from the links below.

Part 4: Temperature Sensors

In this lesson we learn how to use HTU21D Temperature sensor to measure and display it Serial monitor. There are two other video lectures for this sensor 1-Using it with LCD 2--Using as bargraph . This is custom code.

  This is an example for the HTU21D-F Humidity & Temp Sensor

  Designed specifically to work with the HTU21D-F sensor from Adafruit
  ----> https://www.adafruit.com/products/1899

  These displays use I2C to communicate, 2 pins are required to
  interface
