TMP117 High-Precision Temperature Sensor
High-precision temperature measurement with ±0.1°C accuracy. Suitable for calibration, medical, and scientific applications.
Say it to PAL
“Keep a precise log of the temperature.”
The code PAL writes
p.onSensorChange('qwiic-tmp117', 'temperature', (temp) => {
p.log(`Temperature: ${temp.toFixed(4)}°C`);
});
await p.waitUntilStopped();When to pick it
Lab-grade precision (±0.1°C).
About it
A precision temperature sensor meeting NIST standards for traceability. Accurate to ±0.1°C across -20°C to 50°C, making it suitable for laboratory use, medical devices, and precision industrial applications. Can serve as a calibration reference for other temperature sensors.
