Description

Hi Arduino Team!

First: I am a newbie but let me say that Arduino and the whole ecosystem is so great and makes so much fun to work on! Thanks so much for your work!!!

I have bought an MKR WiFi 1010 and an MKR ENV Shield to check out the IoT possibilities. Works great and was so easy to setup. I have some remarks to improve the MRK ENV Shield Online Docu. Maybe you would like to adapt some of my ideas.

Maybe ist good to add the description from the „Arduino_MKRENV.h“ library (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/ArduinoMKRENV). Here is the copy with some remarks…

Absolute pressure range: 260 to 1260 in hPa
// hPa is wrong the library delivers the pressure in kPa!
// Also I would suggest to describe that you would get the actual
// air pressure on your location. Take into account that the values from the
// weather forecast are always translated to the mean sea level!!!

Humidity range: 0 - 100%; accuracy: ± 3.5% rH, 20 to +80% rH

Temperature range -40 +120; accuracy: ± 0.5 °C, 15 to +40 °C
// If you attach the EVN Shield on top of the MKR PCB the temperature
// shows ~3°C more and the humidity shows ~6% less as a normal room temperature.
// for accurate display use jumper wires and place the Shield beside!

Lux range of the sensor with analog reading from 10 to 100.000 lux

UVA/UVB resolution: 16bit; unit μW/cm2

UVIndex: from 1 to 11+ as explained here.
// I would suggest linking “here” to this URL
// https://www.who.int/uv/intersunprogramme/activities/uv_index/en/
// There is a good graphical explanation what the UV-Index means for us humans.

Hope this is helpful for other Arduino enthusiasts!

Thanks, and stay healthy!!!
Andreas
