Micro:bit and Si7021 I2C Humidity and Temperature Sensor example

The Si7021 I2C Humidity and Temperature Sensor is a monolithic CMOS IC integrating humidity and temperature sensor elements, an analog-to-digital converter, signal processing, calibration data, and an I2C Interface.

The patented use of industry-standard, low-K polymeric dielectrics for sensing humidity enables the construction of low-power, monolithic CMOS Sensor ICs with low drift and hysteresis, and excellent long term stability, it would be a great sensor to have on the roller. It would be able to measure everything before I go out for a ride around town.
