ADT7420: High accuracy digital I2C temperature sensor¶
Description¶
This sample application periodically (1Hz) measures the ambient temperature in degrees Celsius. The result is written to the console. Optionally, it also shows how to use the upper and lower threshold triggers.

Wiring¶
This sample uses the ADT7420 sensor controlled using the I2C interface. Connect Supply: VDD, GND and Interface: SDA, SCL and optionally connect the INT to a interrupt capable GPIO. The supply voltage can be in the 2.7V to 5.5V range. Depending on the baseboard used, the SDA and SCL lines require Pull-Up resistors.
Building and Running¶
This project outputs sensor data to the console. It requires an ADT7420 sensor. It should work with any platform featuring a I2C peripheral interface. It does not work on QEMU. In this example below the nRF52-PCA10040 board is used.
# On Linux/macOS
cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/sensors/adt7420
mkdir build && cd build
# On Windows
cd %ZEPHYR_BASE%\samples\sensors\adt7420
mkdir build & cd build
# Use cmake to configure a Ninja-based build system:
cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..
# Now run ninja on the generated build system:
ninja
ninja flash
