What is it?

Environment sensing stick for temperature and humidity (HTU21D), light level (TEMT6000) and optional pressure (BMP180). Has an LED on the end of the stick for indication. Works with the Particle Electron or Photon.

Contains:

• 1x part assembled PCB.
• 2x 12 way headers for the photon (option for 2x 18 way header for an Electron).
• 1x USB A Plug allowing it to plug directly into a USB power pack.
• Option: With BMP180 for pressure monitoring

Just add a Particle Photon or Electron!

Why did you make it?

I wanted an environmental sensor I could plug straight into a USB outlet without wires etc, that connected to the internet using a Particle Photon or an Electron for remote monitoring where WiFi isn't available and could be used with the Particle Asset Tracker for GPS based environment measurements.

What makes it special?

Connectivity:

• Use a Particle Photon for WiFi based internet connectivity.
• Or a Particle Electron for cellular internet, great for remote logging of environment where WiFi is not available.
• It can piggyback onto the Particle Asset Tracker with an Electron allowing GPS based environment sensing.
• Simple and secure connectivity with the Particle Cloud
• Can be linked quickly and easily to Tinamous.com for charting and notifications.

General:

• Plugs straight into a USB outlet for no wires deployment.
• Data lines are not connected on the A plug, just power, safe to plug into a PC or Server.
• Can be used with Photon/Electron USB B socket for wired USB power.
• Piggybacks onto a ThingySticks Prototyping PCB to add your own extra functionality.
• 2x mounting holes for M3 machine screws or A2 self tappers.
• All the Photon/Electron pins are brought out to pads that can be used to add extra functionality or for stacking.
• Open Source Hardware. All the design files are available on the ThingySticks website and Github.
• Measures 94mm x 32mm.

Please note that this does NOT include a Photon/Electron one of these needs to be purchased separately, or the asset tracker shown in the photos. All of these can be purchase directly from Particle.io

Headers supplied do not support stacking, you will need different stackable headers or a double set if you wish to stack multiple sensors.
