NuGet package

The HIH6130 sensor allows the reading of the relative humidity and temperature via I2C.

Code Example

public class MeadowApp : App<F7Micro, MeadowApp>
{
    Hih6130 sensor;

    public MeadowApp()
    {
        sensor = new Hih6130(Device.CreateI2cBus());

        sensor.StartUpdating();

        sensor.Updated += Sensor_Updated;
    }

    private void Sensor_Updated(object sender, Meadow.Peripherals.Sensors.Atmospheric.AtmosphericConditionChangeResult e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Humidity: {e.New.Humidity}, Temperature: {e.New.Temperature}");
    }
}

Purchasing

The HIH6130 sensor is available on a breakout board from Sparkfun.

• Sparkfun HIH6130 Breakout Board

Example:

public class MeadowApp : App<F7Micro, MeadowApp>
    {

        Hih6130 sensor;

        public MeadowApp()
        {
            Initialize();

            sensor.StartUpdating();

            sensor.Updated += Sensor_Updated;
        }

        private void Sensor_Updated(object sender, Meadow.Peripherals.Sensors.Atmospheric.AtmosphericConditionChangeResult e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Humidity: {e.New.Humidity}, Temperature: {e.New.Temperature}");
        }

        public void Initialize()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Init...");

            sensor = new Hih6130(Device.CreateI2cBus());
        }
    }

Wiring Example

The HIH6130 requires only four connections between Meadow and the breakout board.
