Weathershield Temperature Accuracy?

Well, big changes and backwards incompatibility aside - they shoud not be a blocker, since new chips appear all the time, APIs and interfaces change all the time - the lack of demand nails it, I guess. Well, they're available as standalone modules or chips. Though none of them are as neat as the WS! ;)

Hmmm, there is some decent demand, otherwise I would not have made another batch (the one without the BMP180). I think I may fab another batch of panels and preorder some BMP180s. The Si17021 are still available, they are good very low power chips that's why I like them. People do ask about the WS from time to time.
Thanks for the compliment :)

Well, I meant demand for the one with the pressure sensor. I'm still eyeing the BME280 chip since it's a compact one and measures all in a single package. I was suprised at its RH accuracy. An interesting comparison of many cheap sensors (including the Bosch one) here.

Very nice/thorough testing and commentary, almost changes my view on the BME280. I noticed mouser has a lot of stock, I must have been searching for BMP280 (instead of BME280) which revealed no stocks and put me off. So this looks interesting now. Hmmmmmmmmmm  ::)
