CHT8310

Arduino library for CHT8310 temperature and humidity sensor.

Description

This library is EXPERIMENTAL and implements a minimal subset of the functionality of the sensor. Version 0.1.0 includes reading the temperature and humidity register and the manufacturer-ID register. Furthermore one can set an offset for temperature and humidity.

Version 0.1.0 does support reading or writing other registers by generic wrappers. Read the datasheet for the register details.

sensor range accuracy* resolution
temperature -40°..125°C max 0.5°C 0.03125°C
humidity 0%..100% RH max 2% RH 0.02% RH

* Accuracy for full range. More exact details for smaller ranges, see datasheet.

The library is based upon https://github.com/RobTillaart/CHT8305 which is a simpler and unfortunately not an compatible sensor.

If you are able to test this library, please share your experiences.

Tests

Many initial tests performed by YouCanNotBeSerious. Thanks.

Hardware

Always check datasheet for connections.

I2C

performance

I2C bus speeds is supported up to 1000 KHz (datasheet P4).

An indicative table of times in micros on an ESP32-C3 for various I2C clock speeds. Note that the performance gain of higher clock speeds become less and less. At the same time the robustness of the signal decreases (not visible in the table).

Times in micros on an ESP32-C3 (See #3 for more)

Version Speed READ READ T READ H getManufacturer
0.2.0 50000 2165 1060 1058 1051
0.2.0 100000 1164 582 582 578
0.2.0 150000 855 427 427 424
0.2.0 200000 654 327 327 323
0.2.0 250000 561 281 281 277
0.2.0 300000 491 245 245 241
0.2.0 400000 417 209 209 204
0.2.0 500000 371 186 186 181
0.2.0 600000 344 172 172 169

The read() call uses two I2C calls so it makes sense that it takes twice as long as readTemperature(), readHumidity() and getManufacturer() which only use one I2C call to the device. getManufacturer() is a bit faster as readTemperature() as the latter needs to do conversion math.

Addresses

The CHT8310 supports up to 4 devices on the I2C bus.

AD0 Address Notes
GND 0x40 CHT8310_DEFAULT_ADDRESS
VCC 0x44
SDA 0x48
SCL 0x4C

Pull ups are needed on SDA, SCL and optional to ALERT.

I2C multiplexing

Sometimes you need to control more devices than possible with the default address range the device provides. This is possible with an I2C multiplexer e.g. TCA9548 which creates up to eight channels (think of it as I2C subnets) which can use the complete address range of the device.

Drawback of using a multiplexer is that it takes more administration in your code e.g. which device is on which channel. This will slow down the access, which must be taken into account when deciding which devices are on which channel. Also note that switching between channels will slow down other devices too if they are behind the multiplexer.

Interface

#include "CHT8310.h"

Constructor

  • CHT8310(const uint8_t address = CHT8310_DEFAULT_ADDRESS, TwoWire *wire = &Wire) Constructor with default address (0x40) and I2C bus.
  • int begin() initializes internals. Returns error status.
  • bool isConnected() checks if address (default 0x40) can be seen on the I2C bus.
  • uint8_t getAddress() returns address set in constructor.

Core

  • int read() reads both the temperature and humidity from the sensor. Can be called at most once per second, otherwise it will return CHT8310_ERROR_LASTREAD Return should be tested and be CHT8310_OK.
  • int readTemperature() read only temperature from the sensor, therefore faster than read(). This function does not check the lastRead flag, but does set it.
  • int readHumidity() read only humidity from the sensor, therefore faster than read(). This function does not check the lastRead flag, but does set it.
  • uint32_t lastRead() returns lastRead in MilliSeconds since start sketch. Useful to check when it is time to call read() again, or for logging.
  • float getTemperature() returns last temperature read. Will return the same value until read() or readTemperature() is called again.
  • float getHumidity() returns last humidity read. Will return the same value until read() or readHumidity() is called again.

Note: read(), readTemperature() and readHumidity() blocks each other, so you can call only one of them every second (see Convert Rate below).

Conversion delay

Not functional for now, need investigation. Check datasheet for details.

  • void setConversionDelay(uint8_t cd = 11) default is 11 milliseconds (datasheet P8). Not tested what is the optimum.
  • uint8_t getConversionDelay() returns set value.

Offset

Adding offsets works well in the "normal range" but might introduce under- or overflow at the ends of the sensor range. These are not handled for temperature by the library, humidity is constrained.

  • void setHumidityOffset(float offset) idem.
  • void setTemperatureOffset(float offset) idem. This function can be used to set return temperature in Kelvin!
  • float getHumidityOffset() idem.
  • float getTemperatureOffset() idem.

If the offset is not the same over the operational range, consider a mapping function for temperature and humidity. e.g. https://github.com/RobTillaart/MultiMap

Configuration

To be elaborated (table / functions)

Check datasheet for details about the bit fields.

  • void setConfiguration(uint16_t mask) set a bit mask
  • uint16_t getConfiguration() returns current mask

Convert Rate

Check datasheet for details.

The idea is that longer conversion times stabilize the measurement.

  • void setConvertRate(uint8_t rate = 4) set convert rate, see table below. Default value = 4 meaning
  • uint8_t getConvertRate() returns the set rate.
value measurement frequency notes
0 120 s 1/120 Hz
1 60 s 1/60 Hz
2 10 s 0.1 Hz
3 5 s 0.2 Hz
4 1 s 1 Hz default
5 500 ms 2 Hz
6 250 ms 4 Hz
7 125 ms 8 Hz

ALERT

Check datasheet for details.

Minimal API to set thresholds to trigger the ALERT pin. No range check (e.g. low < high) is made.

ALERT pin triggers default on both temperature and humidity.

  • void setTemperatureHighLimit(float temperature)
  • void setTemperatureLowLimit(float temperature)
  • void setHumidityHighLimit(float humidity)
  • void setHumidityLowLimit(float humidity)

See also getStatusRegister()

Status register

Check datasheet for details.

  • ** uint16_t getStatusRegister()**
bit name description
15 Busy idem
14 Thigh temperature exceeded
13 Tlow temperature exceeded
12 Hhigh humidity exceeded
11 Hlow humidity exceeded

OneShot conversion

Check datasheet for details.

  • void oneShotConversion() idem.

SoftwareReset

  • void softwareReset() idem.

Meta data

  • uint16_t getManufacturer() Returns 0x5959 according to the datasheet, However in #3 a value of 8215 is seen. Seems to be an other manufacturer.

Register Access

Temporary wrappers to access the registers. Check datasheet for details.

  • uint16_t readRegister(uint8_t reg)
  • int writeRegister(uint8_t reg, uint16_t value)

Error codes

value define notes
0 CHT8310_OK
-10 CHT8310_ERROR_ADDR
-11 CHT8310_ERROR_I2C
-12 CHT8310_ERROR_CONNECT
-20 CHT8310_ERROR_LASTREAD
-30 CHT8310_ERROR_HUMIDITY

Future

Must

  • elaborate documentation.
  • test with hardware
  • implement configuration functions.

Should

Could

  • test different platforms
    • AVR, ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, RP2040, ...
  • improve error handling
    • int lastError()
    • forward return values

Could missing functionality

  • Configuration register => 10 fields, see datasheet
    • EM flag for resolution
  • OneShot

Wont

  • getters for ALERT limits? (user can track these).
