Sensirion SHT temp & hum sensor

I want to use the SHT chip to measure the dewpoint to determine when
to switch between refrigerated and evaporative cooling in my BS2p
based air conditioner controller.

I checked out Tracy's programs for the SHT chip. They will be a great
help expecially when it comes to the heavy math. But the dewpoint
calculation is still in the "stay tuned" category. [noparse]:([/noparse] I'm staying
tuned.

The range for the temperature is 90 to 120 degrees F and the
relative humidity 5 to 20%. The dewpoint formula on the SHT website
seems to be beyond the capability of the stamp. I was considering a
lookup table (4 colums for temp x 4 rows for humidity) which would
require three linear interpolations to get the dewpoint.

Is this a practical way to do this? Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Okay, dewpoint is there now, in the second program listing at:
    http://www.emesystems.com/OL2sht1x.htm
    Also a demo of Stamp dew point calculation with keyboard entry
    (instead of the Sensirion sensor).

    Thanks, Tracy. Excellent work! And I'll never again say that anything
    is beyond the capability of a stamp.
