Description
The MS8607 from TE is an impressive combination pressure, humidity, temperature (PHT) sensor with accuracy of +-2mbar pressure, +-3% humidity, and +-1C. Perfect for sensing general weather conditions the MS8607 really shines for high altitude, low pressure applications. Capable of sensing down to 10mbar, this pressure sensor separates itself from many other I2C pressure sensors like the BME280. The MS8607 is simple to use and gives the user some very powerful readings with very little power and conversion time.
The breakout board has built-in 2.2kOhm pullup resistors for I2C communications. If you’re hooking up multiple I2C devices on the same bus, you may want to disable these resistors.
