AHT10 Sensor Module Schematics

The following image shows schematic diagram of the AHT10 module.

An XC620-3.3V regulator is used to generate the 3.3V for the AHT sensor from the input power supply. It is also accompanied by necessary filter capacitors to smooth the output. The module also includes a level shifter for the I2C line, which is built around a dual N channel MOSFET.

How to connect AHT10 Module with Arduino UNO?

You just have to connect the I2C pins (SDA and SCL) of the AHT10 module to the reserved I2C pins of the Arduino UNO (A4 “SDA and A5 “SCL”) and power it with the 5V from the Arduino and finally connect the GND terminal to GND. The following image shows how to make the connections:

How to Program AHT10 module with Arduino IDE?

Programming is very simple, to display the sensor readings on the Arduino IDE serial monitor, you just have to import the  AHT10 library and load the following test code to measure temperature and humidity:

#include < Wire .h> // Library to establish I2C communication
#include < AHT10 .h> // Library to use the AHT10 sensor
AHT10 myAHT10(0x38);//AHT10 instance, address 0x38
void  setup () {
 Wire . begin (); // Function that initializes the Wire library.
Serial library . begin (9600); // initializes Serial communication. 
Serial . println ( "Initialising AHT10 Sensor" );
if (!myAHT10. begin ()) { // If communication with the sensor fails, an error message is printed 
Serial . println ( "Sensor error!" );
while (1);
}
}
void  loop () {
 float temp = myAHT10. readTemperature (); //read temperature from sensor and store it in a variable.
 float hum = myAHT10. readHumidity (); // read humidity from sensor and store it in a variable.
 Serial . print ( "Temp: " ); Serial . print (temp); Serial . print ( "°C  " ); //print the temperature value.
 ​​Serial. print ( "Humidity: " ); Serial . print (hum); Serial . println ( " %" ); // print the humidity value.
 delay (1000);
}
