Slim Node Si7021 sensor example
-
@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?
-
@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.

@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.

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 ?

@GertSanders indeed they are capacitors (silly me) - apparently they are 0.1uf - the black one I have already soldered is 4.7uf
-
@carlierd Are you running your Atmega at 1Mhz, Because I tried to use your sketch and i am getting "Checksum Error".
-
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.

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!

-
@m26872 no problem, not your fault at all, mine for being a newbie. So much so that my first attempt resulted in me soldering the capacitor to the wrong hole, so I've had to abandon my first attempt. You live, you learn, next time I'll double check.

Hi all, again.
I have now successfully built (I think) the slim node, but without the 7021 temp sensor. Because this is the most expensive part of the device and because I find desoldering a challenge, but mainly because I'm waiting for it to arrive from China, can I try and upload the bootloader and sketch without the sensor attached?
If so, I had a couple questions from reading through this thread and the slim node thread. Firstly, uploading the bootloader, can this be done with the FTDI adaptor or do I need to follow the bit described in the slim node thread and attempt it using AVR studio? Secondly, once that is done, is it just a matter of uploading the sketch provided above?
Also, I wanted to confirm a few things on attaching the si7021 temp sensor. From what I can see, SOA (SDA) on the si7021 goes to A4 and SCL goes to A5. Also, GND goes to GND on the board (rightmost set on pins bottom right when FTDI is at the top) and VIN goes to VCC (just next to GND on the board)?
Thanks in advance.

@rsachoc said:

Yes, you should be able to get far without the sensor. Send something over MySensors net and view debug prints. Or make some simple sensor like a reed switch.
uploading the bootloader, can this be done with the FTDI adaptor or do I need to follow the bit described in the slim node thread and attempt it using AVR studio?
Yes, Avr Studio or Uno as ISP.
Secondly, once that is done, is it just a matter of uploading the sketch provided above?
Yes, but if you don't connect a Si7021 I would go for some other simple test sketch to avoid any Si7021 library startup issues.
