SI7021 boards
-
I found this compact board:
I plan to combine this with a narrow board:
Spares me the grief of trying to solder the SI7021 chip itself.
Time to make an EAGLE library part :-)
@GertSanders Where did you find it?

@m26872 I found both SI7021 on Aliexpress.com

@GertSanders Link?

Not SI7021 directly, but there are a lot of small sized I2C sensors.
I use a BME280 board on my gateway and on a node.
I also use a BH1750 (slightly bigger) outside to track plants sun exposure.If you end up with a design where the I2C bus is included I can definitively see a lot of uses for it!

Without LDO, but with pull up resistors (smallest board I could find):

@Carl-H it's a possibility. No plans yet, other projects ongoing.

I just received some si7021 boards from china. They are with LDO and level shifter, similar to
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Si7021-Industrial-High-Precision-Humidity-Sensor-with-I2C-Interface-for-Arduino/32529522264.html
(the original offer went offline, it was from a reseller named "home boutique", no idea why they sold this item)
If I use them with a battery node, is it sufficient to remove (and short-cut) the LDO or do I need to remove the level shifter too? -

@fleinze The 662k on this board has a typical drop-out of 250mV and power consumption of only 1uA... and takes care of a stable power supply. I doubt if there is any advantage in bridging or removing the LDO.

@AWI What happens when the input voltage drops below 3.1V ? It seems the output voltage just follows the input voltage minus the dropout. I have not measured this yet, but I'm assuming this, since i have nodes working below 3.1V and sending temperature and humidity readings.

@GertSanders No conclusive reading from the datasheet. I will do some measurements later. ..
