Qwiic TMP117 High Precision Digital Temperature Sensor Hookup Guide
Introduction
The TMP117 is a high precision, digital temperature sensor. What makes the TMP117 stand out is its ability to be accurate down to ±0.1°C (from -20°C to 50°C). The measurements can also have a resolution of 0.0078°C! This is great for projects that require more stable temperature readings. There's also additional features that come with the TMP117. Some of these features include offsetting the temperature, entering low-power mode, and averaging the readings.
