New Honeywell Sensor Evaluation Kit provides a quick route to market

The new SEK001 Sensor Evaluation Kit from Honeywell allows designers to quickly obtain and capture readings from Honeywell sensors thus greatly speeding up development time. The sensor evaluation kit is compatible with a range of Honeywell sensors including the TruStability™ RSC Series and digital versions (SPI or I²C) of the HSC Series and SSC Series Board Mount Pressure Sensors.

The SEK001 Sensor Evaluation Kit interfaces with an Arduino™ Uno Microcontroller Board and Honeywell software, the sensor to be evaluated is then simply mounted into the relevant socket on the SEK001 evaluation kit and the readings are displayed on the PC screen without the need to develop code.

Key Features

  • Temperature range: 20°C to 30°C [68°F to 86°F]
  • Humidity range: 30 %RH to 70 %RH
  • Power supply:
    • internal (Arduino): 3.3 V or 5 V
    • external: 3.3 V or 5 V
  • Compatible sensors
    • RSC Series
    • HSC Series (digital versions only)
    • SSC Series (digital versions only)

Data

The sensor readings may also be recorded to a .csv file for further analysis, and, in the case of the RSC Series, used in the equations found in the RSC Series datasheet. In addition to being mounted directly on the SEK001, the sensor may also be remotely connected to the SEK001 via wire leads, allowing the sensor to be tested in adverse environments, or in a prototype product for proof of concept testing.

Honeywell have also provided free software to control the Arduino™ Uno Microcontroller Board to take readings from the sensor which is downloadable at http://sensing.honeywell.com/sensors/evaluation-kit

The SEK001 kit provides a simple, quick and cost-effective method for designers to perform a thorough evaluation on a range of Honeywell sensors without having to spend time developing code before sensor readings can be captured. The kit can also serve as a useful prototype or proof-of-concept platform in the customers target end application further speeding up time to market.

Honeywell have also released the SEK002 Evaluation Kit which can be used to evaluate the ABP Series (digital versions only) and MPR Series Board Mount Pressure Sensors; Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature Sensors: HIH6100 Series, HIH6000 Series, HIH7000 Series, HIH8000 Series, HIH9000 Series and HPM Series Particle Sensors.
