Sample Code
#include <Wire.h>
#define SENSOR_ADDR 0x44
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Wire.begin();
delay(100);
}
void loop() {
Wire.beginTransmission(SENSOR_ADDR);
Wire.write(0x24);
Wire.write(0x00);
int error = Wire.endTransmission();
if (error != 0) {
Serial.println("Command sending failed!");
return;
}
delay(60);
Wire.requestFrom(SENSOR_ADDR, 6);
if (Wire.available() == 6) {
// Read temperature data
uint16_t temp_raw = (Wire.read() << 8) | Wire.read();
Wire.read();
// Read humidity data
uint16_t humi_raw = (Wire.read() << 8) | Wire.read();
Wire.read();
float temperature = -45.0 + 175.0 * (temp_raw / 65535.0);
float humidity = 100.0 * (humi_raw / 65535.0);
Serial.print("temperature: ");
Serial.print(temperature, 2);
Serial.print("°C \thumidity: ");
Serial.print(humidity, 2);
Serial.println(" %RH");
} else {
Serial.println("Data read failed!");
