±0.25 °C typical digital temperature, Qwiic
The ET-S53 is built around the Microchip MCP9808 — ±0.25°C typical / ±0.5°C max (−20…100°C), 0.0625°C resolution. It talks over I²C 0x18 (8 addresses), programmable alert output and runs from 2.7–5.5V direct, no regulator.
Two Qwiic / STEMMA QT connectors let you chain it with other boards without soldering, and the 2.54 mm header fits a breadboard.
Designed in Dubai by ElectroTrical — the full schematic, BOM and design notes are published below.
Good for
- Room and incubator monitoring
- Data loggers
- Thermostat projects
