    I've tried to post some sensor examples in the main Slim Node thread. It's continuously growing and I think it's better to start new threads for as much as possible. Here's one. I used this Si7021 (GY-21 board).

    Notes
    Here (and often in other projects as well) the GY-21 board is used to provide the Si7021 sensor . I'm not sure about the identity of components on it, but apart from the sensor the board also includes a small 3.3V-regulator (LDO), mosfets for logic level convertion, supporting capacitors and pull-up resistors.

    The voltage regulator is desoldered and bypassed in pictures above. This gained a node sleep current reduction from 10.7uA to ~6uA. This is the only modification necessary to do on the GY-21.

    The GY-21 board is obviously designed for 5V-projects, but removing-/bypassing the v-reg is enough for using it in our low power 3.3-1.9V applications. @riataman was the first to show the mod of the GY-21 board in this post. There's also a link to a board without the v-reg and level converter. If you design you own pcb you'll probably use the Si7021 bare chip instead of the GY-21 board.

    I had some thoughts about voltage dropout level and the level converter. In the end I still have thoughts, but my experiments show no issues. Here's a description of the level converter working principle. Remember that I don't know if these specs are equivalent, but looking at the mosfet datasheet, it says "Diode forward voltage drop 0.85-1.5V" and "Gate threshold voltage 1.0-2.5V". It's also an "Enhancment mode" FET, where the threshold voltage is important according to this. All together makes me worried about the High side capability to pull down Low side when High side volt is <2V instead of 5V. My tests show differently though. There are no real issues with this. The Si7021 worked down to ~1.7-1.8V with no significant difference whether the level converter was bypassed or not. Comparing one node with bypassed level converter to one without, showed ~1uA lower sleep mode current. But I assume it could just as well be a matter of the individual variations. If anyone like to bypass their level converter, here's a picture.

    @m26872 There is another version of the SI7021 board without voltage regulator. This evening I will look up the link on Aliexpress. The boards are smaller then the GY-21 variant.

      @ar91 Did you change baud rate in MySensors config too?

      Thanks @m26872, I changed the baud rate on MyConfig.h and it started working.

        @carlierd What's your setup then? The DHT22 is for 3.3-5.5V.

        @m26872 My nodes are working correctly for the moment. Actually one is at 2.8v. Perhaps I will have problem when voltage will be lower !

          @carlierd Probably. That's why I ask what you use. DHT22 connected straight to 2AA will not utilize battery capacity. Higher battery voltage with step down regulator would be better - or maybe without, but with like 3AAs or so.

            @m26872 : I don't use booster. You think it's necessary ? 90uA is really important for battery operation.

            For the design off course I will make it open hardware :)

            @carlierd With Slim Node running at 1Mhz even with or without booster i am having hardtime making DHT22 work. I even tried different libraries but none of them works at 1Mhz. How did you get it work?

              @ar91 I don't think there's a good reason to go below 8MHz if DHT22 doesn't work much below 3.3V ?

                @m26872 Perhaps that with a caps I can go very low. I want to have at least one year on 2 AA. Wait and see !

                      @ar91 Please find the code I used in 3 different nodes. The good thing with the playground lib is that there is error message if dialog with DHT22 failed.

                        @ar91 Please find the code I used in 3 different nodes. The good thing with the playground lib is that there is error message if dialog with DHT22 failed.

                          A question though. To get to this point, I copied the pictures posted above, but where do I now add these resistors?

                          http://imgur.com/6mKJcgE

                          Also, if I want to add a 2AA battery cage, where do I connect the red and black wires to?

                          Thanks! And sorry for the newb questions!

                            @rsachoc What you show are not resistors, they look like capacitors. 104 means 100nF (I think). Can you measure their value ?

                              @ar91 Please find the code I used in 3 different nodes. The good thing with the playground lib is that there is error message if dialog with DHT22 failed.

                              @carlierd Are you running your Atmega at 1Mhz, Because I tried to use your sketch and i am getting "Checksum Error".

                                @GertSanders indeed they are capacitors (silly me) - apparently they are 0.1uf - the black one I have already soldered is 4.7uf

                                  No, I am working at 8 MHz (internal). Perhaps your DHT is out of order ? You try with another one ?

                                    Bump, can anyone advise on how I got about finding out where I need to solder the resistors on? So far I've just soldered the 4.7uf capacitor, as can be seen from the pics. But I'm struggling to find out where I need to solder the other capacitor's I have (from the BOM).

                                      @rsachoc C1,C2,C3 are clearly marked at top layer silkscreen. You'll see them in the middle of the uC socket if you look at your 2nd picture in you last post above. C5 is visible next to the 4.7u cap, in the 3rd picture of my first post in this thread.

                                        A question though. To get to this point, I copied the pictures posted above, but where do I now add these resistors?

                                        http://imgur.com/6mKJcgE

                                        Also, if I want to add a 2AA battery cage, where do I connect the red and black wires to?

                                        Thanks! And sorry for the newb questions!

                                        First picture in first post of this thread should be enough. Connect (+) to Vcc and (-) to Gnd.

                                          Thanks, apologies, I really should have looked at my board, I was searching for the answer in the main slim node thread and I think i was looking at older boards and couldn't for the life of me find where C3 is!
