DESCRIPTION

It's half USB Key, half temperature-humidity sensor... it's the Adafruit SHT41 Trinkey. Adafruit wanted to make it super-easy to add one of their most popular combination environmental sensors to any computer with a USB A port.

The PCB is designed to slip into any USB A port on a computer or laptop. There's an ATSAMD21 microcontroller on board with just enough circuitry to keep it happy. One pin of the microcontroller connects to a NeoPixel LED. Another pin is used as a capacitive touch input on the end. A reset button lets you enter bootloader mode if necessary. That's it!

The SAMD21 can run CircuitPython or Arduino nicely - both have existing SHT4x, NeoPixel, and our FreeTouch (capacitive touch) libraries. Over the USB connection, you can have serial, MIDI, or HID connectivity.

The star of this Trinkey is the SHT41 from Sensirion. Sensirion Temperature/Humidity sensors are some of the finest & highest-accuracy devices you can get. The SHT41 sensor is the fourth generation of I2C temperature and humidity sensor from Sensirion. The SHT41 has an excellent ±1.8% typical relative humidity accuracy from 25 to 75% and ±0.2 °C typical accuracy from 0 to 75 °C. The reported temperature may be a few degrees higher than ambient due to self-heating.

The SHT41 Trinkey is perfect for simple projects that want to read the ambient temperature and humidity without extra wiring, soldering, drivers, or complex software. We even ship the board pre-programmed with code that will print a unique serial number, the temperature, humidity, and touch sensor over a serial/COM port in CSV (comma-separated value) format, so you can use it immediately.  Use any USB A extension cable if you need to measure farther than the computer port.

It's just an adorable little board. It's small, durable, and inexpensive enough that it could be a first microcontroller board or inspiration for advanced developers to make something simple and fun.
