Model #: 1211

Humidity/Temperature Sensor
This sensor measures Relative Humidity and Temperature and outputs in simple serial interface of two types types. Serial data can be viewed on PCs terminal software at 9600 bps bps. Microcontrollers can use Serial shift interface to read the sensor data through general I/O pins.

Features
Fast response time / Simple 5V Supply & Interface Two type of digital outputs(Serial & SPI) Relative Humidity from 1%-100% Temperature from +2 deg C to +60 60 deg C

Applications
Weather Stations / Environment Monitoring Green Houses, Books & Archive Storage Medicine Storage, Warehouse Environment Surveillance

Interfacing with the sensor

There are two ways you can get the output from sensor. You can use either of the interface depending on your application.

Interface #2 Serial Shift Interface CLK RDY DAT Two Digital Interface

Interface #1 is Serial Data at 9600 bps at 5V level. You can also use the serial data to interface to PC using MAX232 level convertor for serial port or use USB-TTL chip to get a virtual serial port on PC to which many software like Hyperterminal can be connected. Custom software can also be made to monitor the incoming data. You can also use serial interface directly with a microcontroller when you have a dedicated serial input pin available on your application to get the data for display or processing. Interface #2 is Serial Shift Interface, which consist of three pins. In this interface you have to monitor RDY pin to go low which means new data has arrived. Then you shift output data using DAT and CLK pins. You can use any I/O of your application microcontroller.

Serial Data Output Format

When you see data output from chip in serial at 9600 baud rate, you will get total thirteen bytes output containing reading of temperature and humidity. This data is output every second in ASCII format so you can view it on screen. Let us see what data output you will get in serial mode. The first and last byte in serial mode are new line characters so that when you see this data in terminal you can see each new data in new line. Example Output of Serial in terminal software: H:058 T:024 H:058 T:024 H:058 T:024 It means Relative Humidity is 58% and Temperature is 24 degrees Celcius. Interpreting above data for single reading of 13 bytes in below table
BYTE COUNT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 HEX 0x0A 0x48 0x3A 0x30 0x35 0x38 0x20 0x54 0x3A 0x30 0x32 0x34 0x0D DECIMAL 10 72 58 48 53 56 32 84 58 48 50 52 13 CHARACTER DISPLAYED \n = LF H : 0 5 8 T : 0 2 4 \r = CR Details New Line Character Fixed Character H Fixed Character : Humidity Character-Hundreds Humidity Character-Tens Humidity Character-Ones Space Fixed Character T Fixed Character : Temperature Character-Hundreds Temperature Character-Tens Temperature Character-Ones New Line Character

The above values in serial data are ASCII characters.

Connecting Sensor to Serial Port

If you wish to interface the module with RS232 level like a PC serial port or any other device you need a level convertor such as MAX232 as shown below since the sensor level out is of 5V while RS232 works on +/-12V levels for data transmission. If you connect sensor directly to serial port, it will damage the sensor due to high voltage. That is the reason MAX232 is required if interfaced with serial port.

Interfacing to USB Port and Powering from USB Port

Since the output of sensor is at 5V level, you can directly connect to USB-TTL UART boards to get data to PC. More over USB also supplies power to the sensor. So no external power is required. It will appear as virtual serial port on PC to which you can communicate through any software which can receive by this serial port like hyperterminal or custom made software.

Microcontroller Application using serial shift data

In this application we will interface sensor with a microcontroller through serial shift data. We have used AT89C51s I/O pin to receive data from sensor. You can use any microcontroller to interface using this method. We have chosen AT89C51 to show since it is more widely used. The sample code we have given can be adapted to any C compiler or any microcontrollers like AVR or PIC since with minor changes. Sample code is given on next page.
