Getting wrong readings #34

Closed vdenduluri closed 7 months ago

Hi,

I connected the weather shield to sparkfun redboard plus and ran the example program "Weather_Shield_Basic_V12". I am getting incorrect readings.

Is there something that I should do first before executing the program or something wrong with hardware? Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Humidity = -5.81%, temp_h = -51.85F, Pressure = -999.00Pa, temp_p = -1766.20F, light_lvl = 2.14V, VinPin = 12.08V Humidity = -5.81%, temp_h = -51.85F, Pressure = -999.00Pa, temp_p = -1766.20F, light_lvl = 2.19V, VinPin = 11.91V Humidity = -5.81%, temp_h = -51.85F, Pressure = -999.00Pa, temp_p = -1766.20F, light_lvl = 2.19V, VinPin = 12.08V Humidity = -5.81%, temp_h = -51.85F, Pressure = -999.00Pa, temp_p = -1766.20F, light_lvl = 2.08V, VinPin = 12.90V

Thanks.

Based upon the VinPin reading, make sure you are connecting an appropriate backup battery as defined in the schematic: image
