Sparkfun Weather Shield for Arduino

Weather Shield for Arduino - Sparkfun DEV-13956 Discontinued

The SparkFun Weather Shield is an easy-to-use Arduino shield that grants you access to barometric pressure, relative humidity, luminosity, and temperature. There are also connections on this shield to optional sensors such as wind speed, direction, rain gauge, and GPS for location and super accurate timing.

The Weather Shield utilizes the Si7021 humidity/temperature sensor, the MPL3115A2 barometric pressure sensor, and the ALS-PT19 light sensor. The shield relies on the Si7021 and MPL3115A2 Arduino libraries.

Each shield comes with two unpopulated RJ11 connector spaces (for optional hookup of rain and wind sensors) and a 6-pin GPS connector (for optional hookup of a GP-735 GPS module). Finally, each Weather Shield can operate from 3.3V up to 16V and has built-in voltage regulators and signal translators.

Note: The Weather Shield comes as a stand-alone board. Headers, connectors, and additional sensors will need to be purchased separately; check the Wish List below or the Recommended Products on this page.

Note: This shield was designed for the SparkFun RedBoard and Arduino Uno and will not work with other boards (like the Arduino Yun, for example) without modification.
