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.

@Rocketct from the product page "Working voltage: 9-36V"

- MKR 485 shield
- ISO GND connected to GND of the Modbus RTU sensor and the Power supply V-
- Power supply V+ connected to V+ sensor
- The Working voltage range of the sensor, from product page, is 9-36 V
- Set the Power supply's voltage to a value between 9 - 36 V
- Set the Power supply's current limit to 1 A

why doesn't the current need to be limited? Could someone use a fixed 9v 5A supply?

- Y connected to A/Y of the Modbus RTU sensor
- Z connected to B/Z of the Modbus RTU sensor
- Jumper positions
- FULL set to OFF
- Z \/\/ Y set to ON

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();

// To get the temperature in Celsius and the humidity reading as
// a percentage, divide the raw value by 10.0.
temperature = rawtemperature / 10.0;
humidity = rawhumidity / 10.0;
Serial.println(temperature);
Serial.println(humidity);
}

delay(5000);
