Our Temperature / Humidity Monitor is working!

We received our SHT21 Temperature / Humidity Sensor today from Misenso. No documentation came with it, so a bit of googling found parts of the necessary info on 3 different sites (spliced a few bits of code, installed the I2C library, and crossed my fingers on the wiring). If you want to duplicate this email me, and I’ll send you the pde file, the library, and schematic. It’s specific to this implementation of the SHT21 module and most 4 line LCD displays.

Unsure what is causing the two strange characters at the end of the Temp in F line, but will work on that. (Michael Grant pointed out the unnecessary carriage return we had in our code. All fixed now.)
