Helloo, has anybody had any experience interfacing the module above with Arduino? the confusion lies on several points..
circuit schematic seems to be different on the Parallax data sheet and the actual Sensirion data sheet.
the coms protocol/sequences seem understandable although I don't speak C nor basic... but the maths doing the conversion from the temp & humidity readings to usable numbers seems to do extensive use of floats....
all comments / suggestions would be welcome.
many thanks,
G.
I'm having difficulty getting this one to work, I've had it for 24 hours and still haven't gotten temperature conversion to work.
Humidity and status registers work, though!
I'll put up some code if anyone is interested.
If you don't mind posting it, it would be useful, I have parked the sensor since so to have some use for it would be nice. 
I'm also trying to use the Arduino with the SHT11 temp. sensor but can't find a code for the Arduino. If you could post that would be great!
Thanks!
Although this code is highly intertwined with the other aspects of my project, let me dig up excerpts of the core functionality. BTW, this works as it is but may not work reliably if you poll the sensor too quickly (>10x a second).
I put this together from parallax' sample code, datasheet, and oscilliscope.
In the end, I just had to add a small delay before the "Wait" function, as the SHT11 / pullup resistor has some delay going high.

There are separate routines for measurement and status due to differing amounts of data returned.
For completeness' sake, heres a routine to set the status register:
int SHT_WriteStat(void) {
SHT_Soft_Reset();
SHT_Start();
ioByte = shtStatW;
SHT_Write_Byte();
int tmp;
ioByte = 4; // turn heater on. 0 would be "off"
SHT_Write_Byte();
ackBit = 1;
SHT_Read_Byte();
return(ioByte);
}
Maybe some day I'll library-ize this, but I've demonstrated how inept I am at seeing these through, as I still haven't completed the bit under the playground for Dallas One-Wire stuff.
Good luck! If you use this and improve it, please share your results with us. That code above was ~3 days or total 8 hours of "wtf?" until I figured out the timing.
Once the project this is part of is completed, I'll certainly volunteer to do a write-up in the playground. Till then... hope this helps.
