Flowcode Support Board

I am interested in using the AHT10 sensor because it has good resolution and precision and also has a great market price. But I saw that it is not available in the flowcode library. So, I think I'll have to create my own component in flowcode to make it work. Before trying anything, I would like to know if anyone on the forum has tried using this sensor in flowcode before. Any previous experience would be of great help to me. I'm still trying to understand the documentation on how communication with the sensor works.

Hi OderlandoRSilva

Here a info how to modify an existing component and save as an new one.

You can also take this opportunity to look at Sensirion's sensors.
These are already supported by Flowcode and are also very accurate.
Different versions are available:
With housing or as demo board or also extremely small on FlexPCB.
Of course you can also have these sensors as SMD parts.

Hello,

I've created a new component for the AHT10 sensor now which should be available if you do a full database library update.

Seems to be working well for me but let us know how you get on.

Hello, Ben and Stefan. I am very grateful for your collaboration. I am very happy about it.
I will test the new component created by ben. I believe it works well for me too.

Hi!

I have order some of AHT10, seemed to be an interesting device. Ben have made a component for this device. Meanwhile waiting I try to make a testprogram but is not work in simulation for me. Maybe someone will try to have a look and maybe see what I am do wrong, and please simplifying my program is also velcome

Hello Ben. Would it be possible for you to share the source code of the sensor with us?

Hello.
Since the component has been created, an issue was found with the simulation side only.
The component works really well on embedded hardware.

If you would like to try the component (Humidity_AHT10.fcpx) before the update is pushed.
Browse to this location using file explorer, it's hidden by default so just paste the link into your address bar. Replace the existing file with the attached file.
If Flowcode is already open, then you will need to reload your project for the new components to work
If you run any component updates, then the components you added will be overwritten.

I have also attached the updated component source.

Hello,

I've now pushed Martins changes to the update system and also created the component wiki page here: https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wiki/index.p ... ronmental)

Hi Martin & Ben!

Thank you for update. Now my project work in simulation. As soon I receive the sensor I perform a test.

Hi Jorgen.
Thanks for letting us know.
I tried to make the simulation as realistic as possible.
E.g. if not added Sample or Initialise, then the simulation should fail to work.
