Documented Code

The following code is intended for the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller to interface with the Adafruit AHT20 Temperature and Humidity Sensor. The code is written in C++ and is designed to be compiled and uploaded using the Arduino IDE.

// sketch.ino
void setup() {
  // Initialization code here, to run once:
  // Setup I2C communication
  // Initialize the AHT20 sensor
}

void loop() {
  // Main code here, to run repeatedly:
  // Read temperature and humidity from the AHT20 sensor
  // Process the data as needed
}
