Overview
The IST DigiPicco is a relative humidity and digital temperature sensor. Adaption speed was ok at very low temperatures and perfect in summer temperatures.
| Module name | meteo/humid_dpicco |
| Sensor type | humidity, temperature |
| Range (humidity) | 0 .. 100 %RH |
| Range (temperature) | -40°C .. +125°C |
| Resolution (humidity) | ? %RH |
| Resolution (temperature) | ?°C |
| Refresh rate | 4Hz |
| I2C address | 0xF0 |
Hardware
The sensor board can be directly interfaced to the autopilots I2C 3.3V interface
Supplier:
Wiring
| Autopilot I2C pin | Autopilot I2C | DigiPicco | DigiPicco pin |
| 1 | GND | GND | W8 |
| 2 | +5V | Vcc+ | W10 |
| 3 | |||
| 4 | SDA | SDA | W4 |
| 5 | SCL | SCL | W3 |
Usage
To use the humidity sensor add:
| File: conf/airframes/myplane.xml |
<modules>
<load name="humid_dpicco.xml"/>
</modules>
|
Result message
The raw data (humid/temp) and the converted result (fhumid/ftemp) is written to the log file. The message is automatically sent when new data is received, it does not have to be added to the telemetry file.
