“Works very well. The included pins were quickly soldered to the board and the example software worked on a Pico W. The Pico + sensor is now monitoring the temperature and sending the results to a simple server. I'm delighted with how easy it was to get started.”
“Easily ordered. Delivered quickly. Works great.
Have to say that tinkering with uC's and breakout sensors is really quite fun. After years of trying to never touch C, I have found it's not as hard as I thought (it's the initial build environment that is the hard bit, not the C-language).”
“Easy to order, quickly delivered.
My first tinkering device. Once I managed to work out that the googled I2C micropython examples had a missing "machine.I2C(id=0," parameter it worked with no problems (and wasn't due to my first soldering electronics attempt in 32 years - *phew*). Now onwards to more complicated code; such as getting IRQ's; so wish me luck.”
“Accurate and Easy to install. However, the units I have seem to report 3-5°C too high at 3.3v, and as much as 10°C too high at 5v.
This is easy enough to compensate for, but it did cause a bit of headache at first.”
“I'm building a small cloud chamber and using the 9808 to measure the cold surface temperature. The device works very well and appears to measure temperatures down to -35C as required. The software library was easy to use and worked first time. My only concern is that the PCB is quite large and will require some care in positioning it to get the "probe" close to the cold surface without shorting the connecting pins.
Very happy with this inexpensive device.”
