Digital Temperature DS18B20 Shield for WeMos D1 mini

Easily add a temperature and humidity sensor to your WeMos D1 Mini ESP8266 project with this DHT12 shield from Tronixlabs Australia. You can detach the sensor module from the shield and attach it remotely if required.

Pins headers are included with the shield but not soldered

Applications

• Thermostatic controls, industrial systems, consumer products, thermometers, or any thermally sensitive system
• User-definable nonvolatile (NV) alarm settings

Features

• Temperature: –55°C to +125°C (–67°F to +257°F)
• ±0.5°C accuracy from –10°C to +85°C
• Each device has a unique 64-bit serial code stored in an onboard ROM
• Multidrop capability simplifies distributed temperature sensing applications
• Requires no external components
• Can be powered from data line. Power supply range is 3.0V to 5.5V
• Thermometer resolution is user-selectable from 9 to 12 bits
• Converts temperature to 12-bit digital word in 750ms (max.)
• Alarm search command identifies and addresses devices whose temperature is outside of programmed limits (temperature alarm condition)

Package included

• 1 x DS18B20 Shield
• 2 x Pin headers
• 4 x Female pin headers
