Review on Atmospheric Pressure Temperature Humidity Sensor by HiLetgo: Accurate and Reliable Monitoring by Nathan Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't work no matter what you do.

(See below for more information) I could just get a faulty sensor, but no matter what I do, it won't work. First I tried adafruit bme280 library with test case but it doesn't work. He keeps asking me to check the wiring. It's hard to miss the seemingly clearly labeled SCL and SDA connectors on my Mega, as well as 3.3V and Gnd. I even tried it on my Nano, both real and fake ch340. I love HiLetgo, but to be honest I'm disappointed. Wouldn't buy again. UPDATED: HiLetgo customer support contacted me with a lot of trouble. They were very strict about helping me. Specifically, someone named Olivia, a support person. I have changed this rating from 1 star to 3 for a number of reasons. Most of the time excellent customer service and integrity is demonstrated by this company. Second, after playing around with it for a few days and reading all the docs sent by HiLetgo and everything I could get my hands on, I still can't get it to work properly. I finally got a sketch to compile and upload, but the readings it gave me were pretty erratic. I've tested it with other gauges and gauges I have and the temp and humidity is 9-12% below actual or at least my other gauges/gauges. The final reason is that the print is pretty accurate. Within 5%. Not good, but not terrible. Kudos to HillLetgo and Olivia for handling this deal.
