## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5912:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5912:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

It's half USB Key, half temperature-humidity sensor*...* it's the **Adafruit SHT41 Trinkey.** Adafruit wanted to make it super-easy to add one of Adafruit's most popular combination environmental sensors to any computer with a USB A port.

The PCB is designed to slip into any USB A port on a computer or laptop. There's an ATSAMD21 microcontroller on board with just enough circuitry to keep it happy. One pin of the microcontroller connects to a NeoPixel LEDs. Another pin is used as a capacitive touch input on the end. A reset button lets you enter bootloader mode if necessary. That's it!

The SAMD21 can run CircuitPython or Arduino very nicely - both have existing SHT4x, NeoPixel and Adafruit's FreeTouch (capacitive touch) libraries. Over the USB connection, you can have serial, MIDI, or HID connectivity.

The star of this Trinkey is the [**SHT41** from Sensirion](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-sensirion-sht41-temperature-humidity-sensor-stemma-qt-qwiic.html). Sensirion Temperature/Humidity sensors are some of the finest &amp; highest-accuracy devices you can get. The SHT41 sensor is the fourth generation of I2C temperature and humidity sensor from Sensirion. (They started at the SHT10 and reached the top!). The **SHT41 has an excellent ±1.8% typical relative humidity accuracy from 25 to 75% and ±0.2 °C typical accuracy from 0 to 75 °C.** Note that the reported temperature may be a few degrees higher than ambient due to self-heating.

The SHT41 Trinkey is perfect for simple projects that want to read the ambient temperature and humidity without any extra wiring, soldering, drivers, or complex software. In fact Adafruit even ship the board pre-programmed with code that will print a unique serial number, the temperature, humidity and touch sensor over a serial/COM port in CSV (comma separated value) format, so you can use it immediately. [If you need to measure farther than the computer port, simply use any USB A extension cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/usb-extension-cable-3-meters-10-ft-long.html).

[If you need the 'best' of the SHT4x series, check out the SHT45 Trinkey](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-sht45-trinkey-usb-temperature-and-humidity-sensor.html) which has ±1.0% typical relative humidity accuracy from 25 to 75% and ±0.1°C typical accuracy from 0 to 75 °C.

We think it's just an adorable little board, small and durable and inexpensive enough that it could be a first microcontroller board or inspiration for advanced developers to make something simple and fun.
