After a few comments regarding my code to read data from a Sensirion SHT1x with a Raspberry Pi, I’ve got some updated code.
Please see my previous post for general information, but use the code here.
The list of changes are:
- Added Dewpoint calculation from Page 9 of Datasheet
- Updated Humidity calculation Coefficients to recommended (12 bit) figures from Page 8 of Datasheet
- Updated Temperature calculation Coefficients to recommended (3.3 Volt Interpolated) figures from Page 9 of Datasheet
Any references to the datasheet refer to the Version 5, Dec 2011 datasheet found on Sensirions website.
Also note that the bcm2835 GPIO library has been updated and is now version 1.8 – Get the updated version from http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/.
Here’s the source code you’re looking for: RaspberryPi_SHT1x_01November2012.zip
Here’s the source of testSHT1x.c. (RPi_SHT1x.c and RPi_SHT1x.h can be found in RaspberryPi_SHT1x_01November2012.zip)

Hi John
I tried to compile the codes with latest bcm2835 libralies but failed with the following errors:
$ gcc -lm -o testSHT1x ./../bcm2835-1.12/src/bcm2835.c ./RPi_SHT1x.c ./testSHT1x.c
/tmp/ccnhXD74.o: In function `bcm2835_delayMicroseconds’:
bcm2835.c:(.text+0xc38): undefined reference to `clock_gettime’
bcm2835.c:(.text+0xc90): undefined reference to `clock_gettime’
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
According to the bcm library page, the author decided to change the name of delay functions to prevent collisions with wiringPi from version 1.10.
I tried to change the name of the delay functions on your source codes but with no luck…
I cracked my problem.
After installing a bcm2835 GPIO library(ver. 1.14), I compiled the SHT1x program like this:
$ gcc -o testSHT1x -l rt testSHT1x.c RPi_SHT1x.c -l bcm2835 -lm
The SHT1x program worked like a charm. Thanx.
Without “-l rt”, previous error “undefined reference to `clock_gettime’” occurs.
And I changed the definition
#define SHT1x_DELAY delayMicroseconds(2)
to
#define SHT1x_DELAY bcm2835_delayMicroseconds(2)
just to be safe.
Hi.
I compiled with gcc -lm -o testSHT1x /root/lib/bcm2835-1.22/src/bcm2835.c ./RPi_SHT1x.c testSHT1x.c a in the directory a new file testSHT1x was created. Now, How can i get temperature and humidity infos?
Thanks!
Hi.
I compiled with gcc -lm -o testSHT1x /root/lib/bcm2835-1.22/src/bcm2835.c ./RPi_SHT1x.c testSHT1x.c a in the directory a new file testSHT1x was created. So how I going to get the result of temperature and humidity information?
Thank you.
Hi.

Thank you so much!
Hi Franz, just run the new file with ./testSHT1x

Hi,
I managed to compile the Test-Code but the values just wont show up.
When i execute the compiled code nothing happens.
In just found out my problem.
A short circiut between CLK and DATA cased the programm to enter error mode and shut down without giving the values.
