what are the MKR env shield ranges?

Other Hardware Sensors

According to MKR ENV reference guide at Arduino_MKRENV - Arduino Reference, the values for the sensor are

  • Absolute pressure range: 260 to 1260 hPa
  • Humidity range: 0 - 100%; accuracy: ± 3.5% rH, 20 to +80% rH
  • Temperature range -40 +120; accuracy: ± 0.5 °C, 15 to +40 °C
  • Lux range of the sensor with analog reading from 10 to 100.000 lux
  • UVA/UVB resolution: 16bit; unit μW/cm2
  • UVIndex: from 1 to 11+ as explained here.

a) For absolute pressure the range appears to be not in hPa but in kPA and it varies from 26 to 126 kPA as per Arduino_MKRENV - Arduino Reference. Is this accurate?

b) What would be the value ranges for UVA and UVB. According to (http://wiki.xinabox.cc/Luminosity,_UVA,_UVB_Lesson#:~:text=UVA%20is%20further%20divided%20into,does%20not%20reach%20the%20earth) uva ranges from 320 to 400 nm and 290 to 320 nm

Is this accurate?

It returns a float, so the answer is probably yes but as you don't define what "accurate" means for you this might be wrong.

uva ranges from 320 to 400 nm and 290 to 320 nm

The library returns a µW/cm2 (intensity, not wave length). The sensitivity is probably not the same over the whole wave length range but the datasheet of the sensor has a diagram that gives you a clue what you can expect.
