I need to talk to an SHT15 temperature / humidity sensor for one of the projects in Practical Arduino and there are a couple of good examples of how to do it, but I thought it would be nice to wrap it all up in a library so you could simply create an sht1x object and put calls in a sketch to do things like:
humidity = sht1x.readHumidity();
temp_c = sht1x.readTemperatureC();
temp_f = sht1x.readTemperatureF();
Very neat and to the point.
So I did it, and the code is up now on GitHub:
http://github.com/practicalarduino/SHT1x
It already incorporates temperature-correction for the humidity value (otherwise the value tends to drift once the temperature exceeds 25C) and I'm intending to do dew-point calculation eventually too. It's easy enough to fetch the current temp and humidity and do it yourself in the sketch, but a "readDewPoint()" method in the library would be sweet.
Suggestions very welcome: shoot me an email at jon@oxer.com.au if you find it useful or have ideas for improvement.
