Does PyScan have temperature sensor?

[Paul Hopkins]

Hi, I am a complete noob so apologies first. I received my fipy (2 infact), expansion board and pyscan today. Yay!

I bought from RS in the UK https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/sensor-development-tools/1720649/ and it states:

Pycom Pyscan, Pyscan Accelerometer Sensor, Barometric Pressure Sensor, Light Sensor, Temperature & Humidity Sensor

There is also this "Datasheet" https://docs.pycom.io/gitbook/assets/pyscan-specsheet.pdf which states the pyscan has temp, humidity etc. But also GPS. The image shows a pysense. This datasheet looks completely wrong.

When I look at the pycom documentation it looks like the pyscan has only RFID-NFC, Accelerometer and Ambient Light but nothing else. This seems to be supported by the sample code here: https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/tree/master/pyscan

Or, can I just reuse the code from the pysense for the temp sensor?

I hope you can help

I am not sure what has happened here, but the first image on the page does not reflect a board we have released (that I know of). The second image is for the Pysense v1. The pyscan should look more like te figures on this page https://docs.pycom.io/datasheets/expansionboards/pyscan/

You are correct the pyscan datasheet is wrong, Im sorry about that. I'll try (again) to get it changed.

Again, you are correct in noticing the pyscan only has RFID-NFC, Accelerometer and Ambient Light and you can use the sample code you mentioned.

Best,
Gijs

, you are corr

Ok. Thanks for confirming. Its a pain I wasted my money on the pyscan, I thought it was all-singing-all-dancing. I have ordered a pysense2.0X now from Farnell as RS were out of stock.

Thanks, Paul
