Hi Duncan I wonder if you can help me. I have an outdoor weather station with an inbuilt temp/humidity sensor that went off line a while ago. Other parts of the weather report ok to the console like wind speed and direction etc. The original temp/humid sensor looked like it had corrosion on it so attempted replacement. The sensor pcb had part number EW105DV1. I replaced it with an AHT10 temp/humid sensor. Both have connections for Vin, GND, SCL, SDA which I think I connected right, but still getting temp and humidity from my outdoor weather station as off line. Other units are ok. Any ideas? Are these sensors compatible? Thanks mate.

@Uncle-Duncan-Shack 24 дня назад
Hi Rob There is certainly going to be an issue with the IIC addressing and registers being different between the two sensors. My guess it that the station is going to need the original sensor installed to get it working again. Best regards, Duncan

@@Uncle-Duncan-Shack Thanks for the quick reply mate. I only changed it because the original went off line, and on inspection looked corroded. When you say original sensor, do you mean one exactly the same?

I think the switch mode converter is far more efficient , so nearly 3 times as more current would be available from 3.3 volts when powered off 9V
@Uncle-Duncan-Shack
@Uncle-Duncan-Shack 3 месяца назад
It is, I did take it up to 3.3 volts and it was drawing 0.6 amps. And things began to smoke, it is a very dead piece of equipment.

Does steam power a train or does oil power a train?

Steam powers a steam trail, but oil fuels it. Oil fuels and powers a Diesel train though!
@jtem9313
@jtem9313 4 месяца назад
I've tried to explain this to EV lovers. Ships are vastly more efficient than cars and trucks, yet there are no electric powered ships crossing the Pacific, or even moving from the Persian Gulf to Europe. If EVs were the least bit decent, they should all be electric, all the shipping. And none of it is. Maybe there's a handful of ferries across the globe, but if electricity is a decent replacement for fossil fuels in cars and trucks, the oceans should be covered in electric cargo ships.

The problem is batteries, and the amount of energy storage a battery has for its mass. Since we're only driving a car 200-300 miles before recharging it, we need hella less battery mass than if we're running it across the Pacific. PLEASE stop comparing Kumquats to Supernovas.
@Uncle-Duncan-Shack
@Uncle-Duncan-Shack 4 месяца назад
Exactly, the energy density of batteries still falls way short of that of hydrocarbons.
