Hi All, Sorry about the delay in updates, moving warehouse put quite a few projects on the backburner. I’ve got a test-setup running now, 3 x TMP’s, 3 x BME’s (one being the oldest I could find from our on hand kit), and an SHT40 + SHT41 (much better sentiment around the net). All of the other sensors are straight from stock, with the last production run being completed in January this year. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/2X/a/ab18159b9baf80ef3483176ed852bbefb305912b.jpeg) I didn’t want to revive other topics, but this reply from @Oliver33 got me thinking: > [@Compare piicodev TMP117 and BME280 temperature sensors](https://forum.core-electronics.com.au/t/compare-piicodev-tmp117-and-bme280-temperature-sensors/13082/5): > > Indeed, here are a couple of choice quotes from the BME280 datasheet: The BME280 achieves high performance in all applications requiring humidity and pressure measurement. These emerging applications of home automation control, in-door navigation, health care as well as GPS refinement require a high accuracy and a low TCO at the same time. The humidity sensor provides an extremely fast response time for fast context awareness applications and high overall accuracy over a wide temperature … These sensors are likely used inside other Bosch units (dishwashers, washing machines etc) where the compartment its located in does not require a super super accurate temperature measurement. The Nano Power Timer is set for a 10 minute interval. Once a month or two have passed I’ll circle back, upload the measurements. Regardless, I propose a couple of fixes depending on the outcome of my test and everyone’s observations: 1. Rework the driver to include an offset based on a combination of our data. 2. Develop a new module around another sensor, the SHT4x series looks good at a glance Does the lack of pressure sensor deter anyone from purchasing these modules? PS: please let me know if you like the look of the platform its all mounted on.
