Example of WiringOther view of wiring

I've been trying to set up the SHT10 sensor from adafruit.com and have been having problems. I think I have the sensor connected properly to my raspberry pi 3 through a breadboard, however, when I run my python code I get error codes.

from pi_sht1x import SHT1x
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

GPIO.setwarnings(False)

with SHT1x(11, 7, gpio_mode=GPIO.BOARD) as sensor:
    temp = sensor.read_temperature()
    humidity = sensor.read_humidity(temp)
    sensor.calculate_dew_point(temp, humidity)
    print("sensor")

This is the error code I get:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo python3 garden.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "garden.py", line 7, in temp = sensor.read_temperature() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pi_sht1x/sht1x.py", line 166, in read_temperature self._send_command() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pi_sht1x/sht1x.py", line 254, in _send_command self._get_ack(command_name) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pi_sht1x/sht1x.py", line 397, in _get_ack raise SHT1xError(message) pi_sht1x.sht1x.SHT1xError: SHT1x failed to properly receive command [['Temperature'] - 00000011]

I'm pretty new to coding etc. So I imagine the solution is probably easy... Thanks!

    I was just reading your post, and it was updated. Apparently you replaced the error messages with an illegible screen shot. DO NOT paste images, copy the text and paste.

    @gbredo, can you post a photo of your wiring ? Assuming the wiring is correct (no shorts, no loose connections etc) I have a hunch it might be a simple case naming convention for the pins - BCM vs BOARD.

  • Hi Shreyas, I added on photo of my wiring but couldn't get another one attached as my reputation is too low. I'll try BCM later today and see if that fixes the problem!

  • You could perhaps remove the screenshot and replace it with the error text instead. That might allow you do add a photo of the connections.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. I've now got both pictures of my wiring (hopefully they help!) and my error code.

I got the sensor working. Re did the wiring and used the following code:

from time import sleep
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from pi_sht1x import SHT1x

DATA_PIN = 21
SCK_PIN = 23

with SHT1x(DATA_PIN, SCK_PIN, gpio_mode=GPIO.BOARD) as sensor:
    temp = sensor.read_temperature()
    humidity = sensor.read_humidity(temp)
    sensor.calculate_dew_point(temp, humidity)
    print (sensor)
    sleep(2)
