Sensirion Sensririon was founded in 1998 and has gone on to become the world’s leading manufacturer of flow and environmental  sensors . Senserion manufactures surface-mount (I 2 C) sensors for humidity, temperature and gas sensing. The traditional way of testing sensors involves soldering them onto a PCB that has been specifically for testing. This way of testing is very involving and time-consuming. It is for this reason that  Sensirion  came up with the SEK-SHTxx/SGP30 evaluation kit. SEK-SHTxx/SGP30 evaluation kit This kit provides flexibility when it comes to evaluating  Sensirions sensors . It contains 5 sensors, plug and play hardware and software access making sensor evaluation quick and easy. Sensors The following sensors can be evaluated using the SEK-SHTxx/SGP30 evaluation kit. The SGP30-A digital gas sensor STS31-DIS- A digital temperature sensor SHTC1, SHT32DIS-B, SHTW2- Digital humidity sensors They are all tiny SMT devices that are mounted on flex P
