MKRENVShield Docu Clarification

Open AndreasWaldherr opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Hi Arduino Team!

First: I am a newbie but let me say that Arduino and the whole ecosystem is so great and makes so much fun to work on! Thanks so much for your work!!!

I have bought an MKR WiFi 1010 and an MKR ENV Shield to check out the IoT possibilities. Works great and was so easy to setup. I have some remarks to improve the MRK ENV Shield Online Docu. Maybe you would like to adapt some of my ideas. https://store.arduino.cc/arduino-mkr-env-shield Maybe ist good to add the description from the „Arduino_MKRENV.h“ library (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/ArduinoMKRENV). Here is the copy with some remarks…

Absolute pressure range: 260 to 1260 in hPa // hPa is wrong the library delivers the pressure in kPa! // Also I would suggest to describe that you would get the actual // air pressure on your location. Take into account that the values from the // weather forecast are always translated to the mean sea level!!!

Humidity range: 0 - 100%; accuracy: ± 3.5% rH, 20 to +80% rH

Temperature range -40 +120; accuracy: ± 0.5 °C, 15 to +40 °C // If you attach the EVN Shield on top of the MKR PCB the temperature // shows ~3°C more and the humidity shows ~6% less as a normal room temperature. // for accurate display use jumper wires and place the Shield beside!

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. // I would suggest linking “here” to this URL
// https://www.who.int/uv/intersunprogramme/activities/uv_index/en/ // There is a good graphical explanation what the UV-Index means for us humans.

Hope this is helpful for other Arduino enthusiasts!

Thanks, and stay healthy!!! Andreas
