Modbus RTU Temeperature Sensor

This sketch shows you how to interact with a Modbus RTU temperature and humidity sensor.
It reads the temperature and humidity values every 5 seconds and outputs them to the
serial monitor.

You didn't mention the VCC connection for the sensor.

we need an explanation of what the sensor returns and why we need to divide by 10.0.

short rawhumidity = ModbusRTUClient.read();

// Is required divide by 10.0 the value readed, because the sensor sent the

readed -> read, sent -> sends

// readings as an integer obtained multipling the float value readed by 10

it's a divide not multiply :)

the raw values need to be divided by 10 to get the temperature in Celsius and the humidity reading as a percentage.

temperature = rawtemperature / 10.0;
humidity = rawhumidity / 10.0;
Serial.println(temperature);
Serial.println(humidity);
}

delay(5000);
