Figure X.2 Accuracy vs Temperature
X.2.2 Running as part of WiRobot System
When using the DAT5280 with WiRobot system, user can simply connect the module to the
temperature sensor module connector on the PMS5005 controller board and the PMS5005 built-in
sensor device driver will take care of the data acquisition. Users can simply call a function offered by
the WiRobot SDK software on PC (requires Microsoft platform) or send a data request packet
(platform independent) to obtain the data.
X.2.3 Running as a General Purpose Temperature Sensor Module
When using the DAT5280 with a third party controller, the power supply and the input/output signals
should be connected properly (please refer to Section IX.3). The controller can get the temperature
data via an analog to digital converter. The temperature reading can then be calculated according to
Figure IX.1 or the following equation
TV (in V) = 0.92 + 0.0255 * (Temperature)
