Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Does anyone know of a prototype board to suit this sensor, in a PWSON (6 pin) DMB PACKAGE.

One expensive solution is to buy an SHT21 on a board (on EBay for $9). Then heat up the board and remove the SHT21. Then put the HDC1080 on the board, the package and pin outs are the same.

Cheapest way: Do it 'dead bug' style.

Take an 8-pin DIP socket,lay the chip on its back and solder thin wires to pins. Maybe add a drop of glue or double sided tape to prevent the chip from moving around.

Like this (but then with an 8 pin DIP socket):

The dead bud method may cause a problem with the humidity sensor window on the top of the HDC1080.

There is a Gerber file layout available from Texas Instruments. Seed Studio have a US$9 offer to make a number of printed circuit boards. Is anyone interested in taking some of the boards, they will be around $4 each including postage.

On EBay now, an English company is selling an HD 1080 module with the IC mounted on a small board. It is more expensive than the Chinese modules, but eventually they will bring them out as well.

If you want a humidity, temperature and barometric pressure sensor in one unit, then then the BME280 is the best option. It also has the option of two different i2c addresses.
