MySensors_SI7021

Introduction

This is an attempt to make it easy to resolve a common problem when people first get started with using the 'MySensors Sensebender Micro' board. A lightweight, custom modified library is referenced and available within the MySensorsArduinoExamples repository but it's not a user friendly method of distributing the library. This project is my attempt to rectify that.

This project is ready to be sumitted to Arduino Library Registry index making it available to install directly through the Library Manager in the Arduino IDE, Arduino CLI, PlatformIO, etc. It just needs to be submitted¹. At some point in the future, I'd like to have this project adopted into the MySensors group of repositories and submitted to Library Manager from there.

How to use this library

Until the library is available to add to your project through the Library Manager, you'll need to install it manually. Here's how to do that.

Download the Library to Your Libraries Folder

For Linux and Mac OS

Open a command terminal and navigate to your Arduino libraries folder.

cd ~/Arduino/libraries

Use git to download the library to your local system.

git clone https://github.com/AlphaSierraHotel/MySensors_SI7021.git

For Windows Systems

You can use the instructions above for Linux if you have Git for Windows with Git Bash, though the location of your library folder will be different. Otherwise, use the approach below.

1. Open a browser and navigate to this Github repository (wait- you're already here?).
2. Click the green Code button above the list of files and select Download ZIP.
3. Extract the compressed folder into your Arduino libraries folder.
4. [Optional] Rename the folder MySensors_SI7021.

Change the Library Reference in Your Code

Then change the references in the sketches to match the new library name. Change references of <SI7021.h> to use <MySensors_SI7021.h> instead.

For example, in your code, change this:

#include <MySensors.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <SI7021.h>

to this:

#include <MySensors.h>
#include <Wire.h>
// #include <SI7021.h>
#include <MySensors_SI7021.h>

That's it, try compiling the code.
