 +=====Functional Description =====
 +The Pmod HYGRO is designed to digitally report the relative humidity and ambient temperature upon request by the host board. Up to 14-bits of resolution for each sensor may be collected by allowing for longer conversion times. A resistive heating element can be enabled to test the sensor or drive off condensation that accumulates on the sensor after being consistently exposed to high humidity conditions.

 +===== Interfacing with the Pmod=====
 +The Pmod HYGRO communicates with the host board via the [[pmod:communication_protocols:I2C|I²C protocol]]. By first sending the 7-bit I²C address of 1000000 (0x40) and then a read/write bit (high/low logic level, respectively), followed by the register address of interest at a maximum clock frequency of 400 kHz, users can both configure and read from the Pmod HYGRO. [[pmod:pmodhygro:#pinout_table|Header J2]] on the Pmod HYGRO passes through all of the signals present on the main [[pmod:pmodhygro:#pinout_table|Header J1]] to allow for the daisy chaining of multiple I²C compatible modules.
 +
 +==== Configuration Register ====
 +
 +The Configuration register (address 0x02) allows users to control the resolution of the temperature and humidity measurements, change the acquisition mode, enable the heater, and more. A table of the 16-bit register, recreated from Table 4 in the [[http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/hdc1080.pdf|HDC1080 datasheet]], is provided below.

 +==== Temperature and Humidity Registers ====
 +
 +The temperature register (address 0x00) and the humidity register (address 0x01) are both 16-bit read only registers with the 14 MSBs corresponding to the 14-bit maximum resolution for both sensors. The two LSBs (bits D1 and D0) are always 0 for both registers. As the measurement resolution increases, the corresponding conversion time for each sensor also increases. A table of typical conversion times from Section 7.5 (Electrical Characteristics) of the [[http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/hdc1080.pdf|HDC1080 datasheet]], is provided below.
 +
 +^  Relative Humidity Sensor  |^  Temperature Sensor  ||
 +|  8-bit resolution   |  2.50 ms  |  11-bit resolution  |  3.65 ms  |
 +|  11-bit resolution  |  3.85 ms  |  14-bit resolution  |  6.35 ms  |
 +|  14-bit resolution  |  6.50 ms  | ||
 +
 +Upon device power-up, the Pmod HYGRO requires at least 15 ms prior to being able to perform a measurement. To perform a measurement, users need to configure (or accept) the measurement settings in the Configuration Register, and then trigger the measurement(s) by sending an I²C write transaction along with the address pointer set to the appropriate register. After waiting the [[pmod:pmodhygro:reference-manual#temperature_and_humidity_registers|appropriate conversion times]], users may then perform a read transaction, taking advantage of the auto-incrementing pointer address for reading both the temperature and humidity registers. After the data has been read, users need to wait at least one full second before performing another read transaction to avoid internal heating of the sensor and the distortion of the measured temperature and humidity levels.
 +
 +Note that if a write transaction is performed on either the temperature (address 0x00) or humidity (address 0x01) registers during a conversion, the current conversion will be aborted and a new one started. If a read is performed during a conversion, the Pmod HYGRO will respond back with a [[learn/fundamentals/communication-protocols/i2c/start|NACK]] indicating the measurement result is not yet available. The typical time that it takes the output of the humidity sensor to show 63% of a step change in humidity is 15 seconds.
 +
 +==== Quick data acquisition ====
 +Here is the series of commands to acquire relative humidity and temperature data from the Pmod HYGRO in pseudo I²C code.
 +
 +  - Power on the Pmod HYGRO and wait at least 15 ms.
 +  - Call the device ID with a write bit<code>I2CBegin(0x80); //device ID 0x40 with a write (0) bit</code>
 +  - Wait to receive an ACK from the Slave Device
 +  - Write the device address that you want to talk to<code>I2CWrite(0x00); //address 0x00 corresponds to the Temperature Register, the Humidity register will be auto-incremented to next</code>
 +  - Wait to receive an ACK from the Slave Device
 +  - Delay at least 12.85 ms (6.35 ms for the Temperature Sensor and 6.50 ms for the Humidity Sensor)
 +  - Read 4 bytes from the temperature and humidity registers (two 8 byte samples from each, MSB then LSB)<code>I2CReadMultiple(4); //read four bytes, sending an ACK to the slave after each byte received and a NACK after the last byte</code>
 +  - Convert the readings into usable data. Note that the two LSBs (D1 and D0) will always be set to a value of ''0''. Only the upper 14-bits in each register contains the relevant data.\\ $Temperature(°C) = \dfrac{Temperature\ [15:00]}{2^{16}} * 165°C - 40°C$\\ \\ $Relative\ Humidity\ (\% RH) = \dfrac{Humidity\ Register[15:0]}{2^{16}} * 100\%RH$
 +  - Wait at least one full second before initiating another reading to avoid internal heating of the humidity sensor.

 +The %%Pmod HYGRO%% is an ideal Pmod to use in long term humidity test application. As a very low power Pmod between measurements, long term data to measure humidity changes in an environment can easily be collected.
 +
 +Any external power applied to the Pmod HYGRO must be within 2.7 V and 5.5 V to ensure that the on-board chips operate correctly; however, it is recommended that Pmod is operated at 3.3 V.
