Datasheet
• Quicker, easier sensor evaluation: The SEK002 and
associated Honeywell software simplify sensor evaluation
and demonstration by eliminating the need for the customer
to develop any code before seeing sensor measurements.
• Remote mounting: In addition to being mounted on the
SEK002, the sensor may also be mounted remotely if, for
example, it is to be mounted in an oven for testing or in
a prototype product for proof-of-concept testing of the
customer’s end product.
• Cost-effective: Provides a cost-effective way learn about the
capabilities of our sensors so customers can make better
informed component decisions faster. Customers are then
DESCRIPTION
The Sensor Evaluation Kit, SEK002, provides an easier way to
demonstrate and evaluate the following Honeywell sensors:
• Basic Board Mount Pressure Sensors, ABP Series (digital
versions only)
• MicroPressure Board Mount Pressure Sensors, MPR Series
• Honeywell HumidIcon™ Digital Humidity/Temperature
Sensors: HIH6000 Series, HIH6100 Series, HIH7000 Series,
HIH8000 Series, HIH9000 Series
• Particle Sensors, HPM Series
The kit interfaces a selected sensor to an Arduino™ Uno Rev3
Microcontroller Board. Honeywell software, which is provided
free and is downloadable at
http://sensing.honeywell.com/
sensors/evaluation-kit,
controls the Arduino Uno Rev3 to
take readings from the sensor. Sensor measurements are
displayed on the user’s PC and can be recorded to a .csv file
for further analysis. Sensors may be mounted directly on the
SEK002 or remotely connected to the SEK002 via wire leads,
allowing the sensor to be tested in adverse environments, or
in a prototype product for proof of concept testing.
FEATURES
• The SEK002 has sockets and solder pads to receive the
compatible sensors. The board is then plugged in as a
shield board to the user-provided Arduino Uno Rev3 board.
(All sensors are sold separately. Only one sensor may be
evaluated at a time.)
• Jumpers allow the user to select the sensor to be used,
supply voltage and interface (I
2
C, UART or SPI).
• Uses an industry standard Arduino platform.
• Another Sensor Evaluation Kit (SEK001) is available for
use with the TruStability™ HSC, SSC and RSC Series board
mount pressure sensors. Sensor evaluation kits for other
Honeywell sensors are in development.
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Sensor demonstration
• Sensor testing and evaluation
• Proof-of-concept testing
able to perform a thorough evaluation of the sensor without
needing to develop additional code.
• Expedites development: As the SEK002 allows customers
to test their product, this helps customers to expedite their
development process.
