Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What microcontrollers is the AHT20 I2C sensor compatible with?
A: The AHT20 sensor communicates via the standard I²C protocol, making it compatible with virtually any microcontroller that supports I²C — including Arduino (Uno, Mega, Nano), ESP8266, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, STM32, and more. Simply connect VIN, GND, SCL, and SDA to the corresponding pins on your board.
Q: What is the difference between accuracy and resolution on the AHT20?
A: Resolution refers to the smallest detectable change the sensor can report — 0.01°C for temperature and 0.024% RH for humidity. Accuracy refers to how close the reading is to the true value — ±0.3°C for temperature and ±2% RH for humidity at 25°C. The AHT20's high resolution ensures you can detect very small environmental changes, while its accuracy ensures those readings closely reflect real-world conditions.
Q: Can this sensor operate in very humid or very cold environments?
A: Yes. The AHT20 is designed for harsh environments, measuring temperatures from -40°C to +85°C and humidity from 0% to 100% RH. Its improved MEMS capacitive sensing element and advanced ASIC chip provide stable, reliable readings across this entire range, making it suitable for outdoor weather stations, refrigeration monitoring, and industrial deployments.
Q: What is included in the package?
A: Each order includes 1 × AHT20 I2C Temperature and Humidity Sensor Module, ready to connect to your project. No additional hardware is included; you will need jumper wires or a PCB for integration.
