- Wed Feb 03, 2016 7:02 am #40346 Hello friends,

I tryed to work with si7021 + esp12 and Arduino IDE.
I spent half a day but no any success, i tryed few libs incl sparkfun hu21 and nothing, just isnt real values.

I work with esp&arduino ide with bmp180,dht11,lux sensor and etc, but i cant reach success with si7021.

Does anyone reach it, if yes, how? May be need specific lib. Thx

It look this is a matter of timing between Si7021 and ESP8266 communication... i'm not an expert in I2C stuff..
I had the same problem using Si7021 arduino library in the file Si7021.cpp ... spent hours tweaking various things... and finally found solution on the web but on a different library, but principal is the same: add delay time right after request is sent to Si7021. Please check " delay(85);" here below.
I have just tried the 85 and it worked at first run, but you may have to tweak this delay.

Hope this helps.
