This Trinkey combines a USB key with a temperature and humidity sensor, making it easy to add to any computer with a USB A port.
The PCB can be inserted into any USB A port and contains an ATSAMD21 microcontroller, a NeoPixel LED, a capacitive touch input, and a reset button for bootloader mode.
The SAMD21 can run CircuitPython or Arduino very nicely - both have existing SHT4x, NeoPixel, and our FreeTouch (capacitive touch) libraries. Over the USB connection, you can have serial, MIDI, or HID connectivity. With its compatibility to both CircuitPython and Arduino, the SAMD21 allows for seamless integration of the SHT4x, NeoPixel, and capacitive touch libraries. Connect via USB for serial, MIDI, or HID functionality to easily incorporate this powerful chip into your next project.
The star of this Trinkey is the SHT45 from Sensirion. Sensirion Temperature/Humidity sensors are some of the finest and highest-accuracy devices you can get. The SHT45 sensor is the fourth generation (started at the SHT10 and worked its way up to the top!). The SHT45 has an excellent ±1.0% typical relative humidity accuracy from 25 to 75% and ±0.1°C typical accuracy from 0 to 75 °C. Note that the reported temperature may be a few degrees higher than ambient due to self-heating.
The SHT45 Trinkey is perfect for simple projects that want to read the ambient temperature and humidity without extra wiring, soldering, drivers, or complex software. We even ship the board pre-programmed with code that will print a unique serial number, the temperature, humidity, and touch sensor over a serial/COM port in CSV (comma separated value) format, so you can use it immediately. If you need to measure farther than the computer port, simply use any USB A extension cable.
If you don't need high precision, save a few $ with the SHT41 Trinkey which has ±1.8% typical relative humidity accuracy from 25 to 75% and ±0.2°C typical accuracy from 0 to 75 °C.
We think it's just an adorable little board. It's small, durable, and inexpensive enough that it could be a first microcontroller board or inspiration for advanced developers to make something simple and fun.
