My goto option for sensing temperature from the Raspberry Pi Pico (or RP2040) board is to use a DS18B20. A couple of display boards I am working with at the moment make that impossible. I’ve had to look at other options and I thought I would share my research in this video.
The options I look at are:
- Internal Sensor
- DS18B20
- DS3231
- RTC AHT10

- 00:51 The Problem
- 5:00 Internal Sensor
- 7:35 DS18B20
- 10:25 DS3231
- 12:35 AHT10
I’ve looked at the DS3231 before in this video.
I’m sharing my work in the repo.

No BMP or BME devices? The BME-280 and BME-680 are my go-to devices for environmental sensors.
Good point I should do a post on those.
