Hello,
I did not find the humidity & temperature sensor through Findchips.com
search.
Where can I get it in USA and what is the approximate unit price.

Thank You
Mohamed Refky

    Hi Mohamed,

    Have you tried the Honeywell unit ? Since the SHT71 in not made in
    america you need to find a dealer who is importing the thing.


    http://content.honeywell.com/sensing/prodinfo/humiditymoisture/technic
    al/faq_hummoisture.stm

    It's not cheap at close to $40.00, but there are a few suppliers.

    Maybe Tracy or one of the other guru's who get involved with the
    different humidity sensors will let us know if it is a viable unit ?

    Mohamed,

    You can get a free sample of the SHT11 from the company, and it arrives
    fast. It also tells you where to order the SHT17 (not 71, BTW). The SH11 is
    the same sensor, it just isn't mounted. I mounted mine on a small PCB with a
    SIP header. Works great, and Tracy's code for it is a champ.

    I searched on google and found the sensiiron company, but saw nothing about
    samples. I also do not know where Tracy's code is.

    It's made by a company calles Sensirion (www.sensirion.com). We're
    [noparse][[/noparse]Parallax] making a DIP adaptor for it -- our first run of boards had a
    problem, otherwise they'd be out by now. We will be selling the sensor,
    mounted on a board you can plug into a socket or breadboard within a month or
    so.

    See Tracy Allen's web site (www.emesystems.com) for some really incredible
    code for this sensor.

    Kerry,

    Here is the sample link:
    http://www.sensirion.com/en/sampling

    Tracy's code is at:
    http://www.emesystems.com/OL2sht1x.htm

    Make sure to read the soldering stuff in the app notes that can be found on
    the Sensirion site. I thought I might have damaged mine by overheating, as
    it didn't work immediately (and for a few hours that I tried) after I
    installed it on the board. However, I tried again a few days later and
    Presto! it worked. I might have hooked it up wrong the first time, one must
    always suspect operator error first. But it is a simple circuit, and I
    checked it a million times. One possibility is that one of the app notes
    says something about it requiring around 48 hours after soldering to meet
    spec. Maybe in my case it needed time to "chill" (in the California sense
    ;-))

    Cool sensor at a good price. Reacts quickly, and seems to repeat well. Still
    needs to be run through the 'environmental mill' to see if it will hold up.
    I am making a remote sensor out of one that I am going to hang from a tree
    limb in an exposed location and see what happens. If it ain't up to rural
    living, it's of no use to me!

    * The new type SHT71 is pluggable pin-type packaging for 1.27 mm sckets.

    High Quality Humidity Sensor SHT71
    Digital, interchangeable & fully calibrated!

    The SHT71 is a fully calibrated, pluggable relative humidity and temperature
    sensor. It comes in a high-quality pin-type packaging (for 1.27mm sockets).
    Owing to full calibration and digital 2-wire output (CMOSens® technology),
    the SHT71 relative humidity sensor is fully interchangeable. In this way,
    you are spared the elaborate and cost-intensive recalibration in case of a
    humidity sensor replacement!

    The sensor head is connected to the pins by a small bridge to minimize heat
    conduction and response time. All pins are gold plated to avoid corrosion
    even under the harshest operating conditions.

    I have the SHT11 and SHT15. The new SHT71 and SHT75 are the same
    electronics, but mounted on the long neck board as described below
    with pins on 50 mil spacing. Picture at:
    http://www.sensirion.com/en/sensors/humidity/default.htm
    The difference between SHTx1 and SHTx5 is the accuracy, with the x5
    being more accurate, at +/-2% versus +/- 3.5%.

    The circuit board will I think include the pullup resistor at least,
    and more convenient 100 mil spacing for the pins.

    There are local reprentatives listed in the USA and other countries.
    I have had no trouble getting parts from Micheal Karst at Sensolution
    in California.
