Phidgets Inc. has released the 1125 - Humidity/Temperature Sensor on a single small board; it gives relative humidity from 10 to 95% and can detect ambient temperatures from –40 to +100 degrees Celsius.
Most of our users tend to use the Humidity sensor in combination with a temperature sensor; so it made a lot of sense to put them both on the same board says Chester Fitchett, CEO of Phidgets.
Product Specifications
Humidity Sensor
Current Consumption: 3.6mA
Output Impedance : 1K ohms
Accuracy: ±2% RH @ 55% RH
Accuracy over 10% to 95% RH: ±3% Typical, ±5% Maximum
Reaction Time for humidity: 10 seconds
Minimum / Maximum Voltage: 4.75VDC - 5.25VDC
Operating temperature range: -40C to 100C
Temperature Sensor
Current Consumption:300uA
Output Impedance: 1K ohms
Accuracy: 1ºC
Minimum/Maximum Voltage: 4.75VDC - 5.25VDC
Range of Operation: -50ºC to +150ºC
Software Environment
Unlike a lot of our competitor's products that require their users to write some firmware code in order to use their sensor, we are completely Plug and Play says Bernard Rousseau, Director of Marketing. With Phidgets, you plug it in and start using it and when it comes to programming, the user, not us, decides which operating system and which computer language he wants to use, added Rousseau.
Users can program Phidgets using a simple yet powerful and well documented Application Programming Interfade (API) that is supported under Windows (2000, XP, Vista), and Windows CE. Users can write programs in Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#, C/C++, Flash/Flex,
Phidgets also provides programming examples for all its products to help programmers write their own programs.
