I’m hoping someone out there has some suggestions, since many of you are working with these chips…

 

I have several hobby-boards.com temp/humidity sensors, and they seem to be WAY off at times – particularly the humidity.

 

I’ve been tracking a weather station that is a short distance (1/2 mile or so – about 1Km) from my home, where my sensors are.  I’m assuming that the humidity and temperature differential within this distance is not very large – no more than 5% or so, so the weather station should be a reasonable benchmark.

 

It seems that my humidity readings never go over about 80%, even during heavy rainfall.  Of course, the weather station (my guide for “actual” readings) peaks at 100% during the same time period (during rainfall).

 

Since it’s usually relatively humid here, I haven’t seen any time where the humidity is less than about 50%, but it looks like my humidity readings are accurate from about 50%-70% RH, then go awry between 70%-100%.

 

I’m in the process of recording more data from the sensors (vad & vdd) into a mysql database, so I’ll have a lot more detailed information in a few days, but meanwhile my question is:

 

Is there any way to calibrate these sensors?  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Vince
