Weather Shield
Technical Description:
The SparkFun Weather Shield is an easy-to-use Arduino shield that grants you access to barometric pressure, relative humidity, luminosity and temperature. There are also connections on this shield to optional sensors such as wind speed, direction, rain gauge and GPS for location and super accurate timing. The Weather Shield utilizes the following collection of individual sensors:
- Si7021 humidity/temperature sensor
- MPL3115A2 barometric pressure sensor
- ALS-PT19 light sensor. The shield relies on the Si7021 and MPL3115A2 Arduino libraries.
Limitations:
The Weather Shield comes as a stand-alone board. Headers, connectors and additional sensors will need to be purchased separately. Also, this sensor was specifically designed for the SparkFun RedBoard and Arduino Uno and will not work with other boards without modification.
