Detailed Description

• ID: hdxxvxta
• Name: Veris HDXXVXTA Humidity Transmitter family
• Category: temp
• Manufacturer: veris
• Connection: ainput
• Link: http://www.veris.com/Item/HD2NVSTA1.aspx

The driver was developed using the HD2NVSTA1 humidity transmitter. The 'T' variant supports a temperature transmitter as well. Both signals are provided by the device as analog 0-5Vdc or 0-10Vdc outputs. The A1 variant supports a temperature range of -40C-50C, while the A2 variant supports a range of 0C-50C. Humidity ranges for all devices in this device family range from 0% to 100% (non-condensing).

This driver used the 5Vdc outputs for obvious reasons. Your MCU must be configured for 5V operation. Using any other analog reference voltage will require the appropriate external circuitry (such as a voltage divider) in order to interface safely with your MCU.

For devices which do not support temperature, use '-1' as the temperature pin number in the object constructor. If temperature measurement is disabled, getTemperature() will always return 0C/32F.

  // update and print available values every second

      sensor->update();

      // we show both C and F for temperature

HDXXVXTA	(	int	hPin,

	)

HDXXVXTA object constructor

Parameters

hPin	Analog pin to use for the humidity measurement
tPin	Analog pin to use for temperature. If your device does not support temperature, use -1 as the value so that temperature will not be queried and an analog pin won't be wasted.
aref	The analog reference voltage, default 5.0

Member Function Documentation

void setRange ( RANGE_T  range = RANGE_MINUS40_50 )

inline

Set the temperature range of the sensor. HD*A1 sensors support a range of -40C-50C, while HD*A2 devices support a temperature range of 0C-50C. The constructor sets a default of RANGE_MINUS40_50.

Parameters

One	of the RANGE_T values, default is RANGE_MINUS40_50

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void update

(

void

)

Read current values from the sensor and update internal stored values. This method must be called prior to querying any values, such as temperature or humidity.

float getTemperature

(

bool

fahrenheit = false

)

Get the current temperature. update() must have been called prior to calling this method. If temperature measurement was disabled (by passing -1 as the temperature pin in the constructor) then this function will always return 0C/32F.

Parameters

fahrenheit

true to return the temperature in degrees fahrenheit, false to return the temperature in degrees celcius. The default is false (degrees Celcius).

Returns

The last temperature reading in Celcius or Fahrenheit

float getHumidity

(

void

)

Get the current relative humidity. update() must have been called prior to calling this method.

Returns

The last humidity reading
