Good day to all of you !
I am going to interface the temperature _ humidity sensor type SHT_75 fron Sensirion to the Pic micro.
I will like to know if there is a pic basic pro code to read this sensor and the routines to compute:
> temperature in C° having + and - signs
> temperature compensated RH ( + lin too !) in %
> dew point in C° having + and - signs
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Best regards,
Ambrogio
Never used on, but a quick lppk at the data sheet makes me think I2C or SHIFTIN might work.
Here is a little about both for working with an EEPROM, maybe it will get you started?

Good day to all of you ,
I am going to interface the Sensirion SHT_75 Temperature_Humidity sensor to my pic micro.
I would like to know how to compute the RH termally compensate and how to compute the dew point. I rerad Srh @12 bit and St @14 bit.
I expect that the RHtc will range from 0 to 99% RH
The dew point temperature in C° will have the sign ( + or - ).
I thank you in advance for any assistance on the coding .

Ambrogio

A quick google search got me to here for some basic stamp code. It may help. You could also search sht75 on this site for some more hits.

Thanks mackrackit:
I do not have any problem to talk with the SHT_75.
I am able to get signed temperature tto.
My problem is to compute RHtc with picbasic pro and to compute DEW POINT with its sign.
Thanks for help

That is quite the equation! From NavMicroSystems post above:
And attached is an application note for dew point calculations.Code:'** Dewpoint Calculation
' See: SENSIRION Application Note "Dewpoint Calculation"
' logEW = (0.66077+7.5*T/(237.3+T)+(log(RH)-2)

DewPoint:
TempDP=Temp/10
logEW=6608
sign=TempDP.bit15
wz=ABS TempDP
wx=(7*wz)+(wz/2)
wy=2373+wz
wj=wx/wy
For ix=15 to 0 step -1
wx=(wx//wy)<<1
wz.bit0(ix)=wx/wy
Next
wx=(-sign^((wj*10000)+(wz**10000)))+sign
logEW=wx+logEW
wx=RHtc
wj=(NCD wx) - 1
wx=wx<<(15-wj)
wz=0
For ix=14 to 0 step -1
wy=wx**wx
wz.bit0(ix)=wy.bit15
bt=~wy.bit15
wx=(wy<
Next
wx=((wj*4000)**49321)+(wz**6021)
logEW=wx+logEW-30000
sign=logEW.bit15
logEW=(-sign^(((ABS logEW)+2)/4))+sign
wx=1652-logEW
sign=~wx.bit15
wx=ABS wx
wy=20402-logEW
wj=wx/wy
For ix=15 to 0 step -1
wx=(wx//wy)<<1
wz.bit0(ix)=wx/wy
Next
DP=((23730**wz)+5)/10
DP=(-sign^DP)+sign
Hi scalerobotics,
yes, the sht_11 has the same interface characteristics of the sht_75 so the code would be OK,
Thanks for helping me,

This variable becomes negative if the temperature result is less than 4000 ( this is equivalent to 0degC ): in the RHtc computation this negative value could generate problem...
I will appreciate very much any help or comment .

iw2fvo , I believe that would be 0% RH. (freezing) Check out this site for more info...

Hi Dave,
Thanks a lot for your reply on the matter.
I will try to better clarify the problem that I have using the SHT15.bs2 ver.C program from Tracy Allen ( emesystems).
Point _1.
The program reads the raw temperature and store it on the " result " word variable.
The temperature is obtained using the following : degC=result+5/10-400.
This means that if the result is 5000 we have +10°C, if the result is 4000 temp is 0°C
and if 3000 the temp is -10°C. I modified the program in order to "display" the minus sign
when result is less then 4000. Result is the 14 bit raw temperature delivered by the sensor.
Up to here everythings is correct and my system shows the correct temperature. I did some comparison with the airport control tower close to my home : it is consistent.
Point _2
the program then reads the raw RH (12 bit ) and stores that value on the "result" word variable.
RH is then obtained as follows: RH=(26542-(54772**RESULT+RESULT))**RESULT-40.
At this point everything is ok to me : my PIC micro gives me the correct RH value.
Point_3
The program computes now the temperature compensated RH in two steps:
First step > RHtc=655+(RESULT*5)+(RESULT**15917)
Second Step > RHtc=(RHtc**(degC+2480))-(RHtc**2730)+RH
>>> At this point the RHtc is correct only if the temperature is above 0°C or, if the raw temperature data from the sensor is more than 4000 !.
If the temperature is negative e.g. -1.7 °C the RHtc is not correct. It is about 172%.
The control tower gives me T=-1.7°C , rh=85% and Dew point of -3.9°C.
>>> This is my problem.
I will appreciate very much if someone can give me an help to solve the troble.
May be that some other programmer ( I am not a programmer ! ) have already solved it !
Thanks in advance

73!

I have used a chilled mirror in the past for this type of measurement sampling air from a test chanber at - 20 F. However the type of sensor you are using is limited as far as humidity measurements and that is why the formula is not acurate below 0C.

Dave,
thanks a lot for the document you have indicated to me.
I will read it carefully.
I noted that all the weather station here on the web and the control towers broadcast RH even if the temperature is below 0°C. All of them diclare a consistent RH. At this point I do not understand well. I must study a little bit more.
At the same time I am notice that my Oregon weather station gives a correct RH for negative temperature too.
The SHT15.BS2 program has a bug somewhere : I would like to know if someone solved it !
Please let me know... just in case you know a fix.
Thanks again Dave for the help.

dave,
thanks for the documentation : I red this documents but I still do not undrstand the reason for which rh is normally distribuited even under 0 degC.
Please see this US weather condition in Alaska:

Could you please spend few more words in order for me to understand this point ?

First, water can be found in a gaseous, liquid or solid form. When it is still gaseous in an environment where it should be liquid, it is then called vapour, and when it is still liquid where it should be solid, it is called under-cooled. But why is that? Well, first we must differentiate between absolute humidity and relative humidity. Water molecules tend to mix with air molecules all the time; even ice evaporates as gas. This is called sublimation. Absolute humidity is the volume of water that is contained in a volume of air. The higher the temperature, the greater the volume of water it can contain. For example, at the average temperature at sea level and average pressure, of 15 C, a cubic meter of air can't contain more than 13 grams of water. When that happens, the air is saturated with moisture and the relative humidity is 100 percent. When the temperature goes down to 0 C (freezing point) the air can sustain only 5 gr/m3. The absolute humidity is then 5 gr/m3 but the relative one is still 100 percent because at saturation point, a.k.a. dew point temperature. What happens when the temperature sinks below dew point? Well, the parcel of air has to get rid of some of its moisture by condensing it into tiny water droplets. But that can only happen by giving away energy in form of heat and the tiny molecules have virtually no mass to dissipate that heat energy. They have to touch anything like a dust, smoke particle, pollen or the bonnet of your car, to condense. Likewise, it must give heat energy to go from liquid to solid and that's why you can get tiny drops of water, in the clouds, that are under-cooled all the way down to -40 C! The type of sensor you are using does not have the capability of measuring the Dew Point below 0C. therefor the calculation you are using is not valid below 0C.....

Hi Dave,
I red your explanation carefully: it is very clear to me now. I did not get those points before.
I thank you very much for your help on the matter.

Thank you for your e-mail. The SHT75 can measure RH below 0°C. However as cold air below 0°C contains only a small amount of water molecules it is very difficult to measure them accurately. Therefore tolerances increase.
Hope this answers your question.
