AHT20 Temperature and Humidity Sensor Module

Temperature and humidity are always two factors you need to consider when working with delicate electronics or living plant life. Often the slightest change in environmental conditions can upset the balance of your herb garden or creep brittleness into your 3D filament rolls. Resourceful Makers enjoy using sensor modules for projects like weather stations, automatic bakeries or liquid processing plants that utilise environmental monitoring to its fullest. A wide range of breakout boards, like this AHT20 Sensor Module, is available to Makers for keeping track of precise temperature and humidity levels and carefully controlling the environments in which your projects are located.

These AHT20 Temperature and Humidity Sensor Modules provide a standard 12C digital interface for low voltage projects with precise sensor technology. The improved MEMS semiconductor humidity sensor features on the AHT20 board with a high accuracy range and the temperature sensor picks up -40°C to 85°C. The 12C digital interface allows you to easily use the AHT20 as a breakout board with your Arduino UNO R3 or similar microcontroller. With up to a 5V DC power supply, the AHT20 Temp & Humidity Sensor is ideal for monitoring home electronic equipment, the levels of your 3D filament storage, or the environment in your automobile.

Of course, we’re quite fortunate as Makers that we can get the exact Sensors, modules and components we need to cater to each of our unique projects. Having the choice between the AHT20, the Gravity series sensors, as well as the high-quality SHT10 sensors is certainly very beneficial for Makers who like to personalise and customise projects to the max. With a reliable quality DFRobot design and a sleek black and white colour scheme, the AHT20 Sensor Module board even provides some great aesthetics along with awesome functionality.
