I’m looking at using an Arduino Nano BLE sense to use as a remote temp/press sensor and have a couple of questions before purchase the bits, that hopefully someone may be able to answer.
The first relates to the isolation of the temp sensor chip from the heat generated by the arduino’s processing. I have a sense HAT board for the Pi4 and there’s no way you could actually use that to monitor ambient temp as it is heated by the Pi4 that it’s sitting on.
The colocation on the arduino is convenient but not useful if it interferes with the readings. Can anyone provide any input on the usefulness of the onboard sensors for ambient measurements please? This impacts whether I get the sense board or the plain 33 plus a separate sensor like the pimeroni bme280.
I’d also like this to run on a Lipo battery - either 2400 or 6000 mAh. It’s not entirely clear what current the Arduino is likely to draw, so difficult to determine if worth going to the increased size & expense of the larger battery. I’ll be attempting to make use of sleep mode in the arduino, but not sure what this will equate to in battery usage. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
