+HDC1000 NodeMCU Library
+=======================
+
+Here's my NodeMCU library for the TI HDC1000 temperature and humidity sensor. It should work with the HDC1008 too but I haven't tested it.
+
+### Setup your sensor:
+First, require it:
+
+`hdc1000 = require("hdc1000")`
+
+Then, initialize it:
+
+`hdc1000.init(sda, scl)`
+
+Configure it:
+
+`hdc1000.config()`
+
+Default options set the address to 0x40 and enable both temperature and humidity readings at 14-bit resolution, with the integrated heater on. You can change them by initializing your sensor like this:
+
+`mySensor.begin(address, resolution, heater);`
+
+"resolution" can be set to 14 bits for both temperature and humidity (0x00 - default) 11 bits for temperature (0x40), 11 bits for humidity (0x01), 8 bits for humidity (0x20)
+"heater" can be set to ON (0x20 - default) or OFF (0x00)
+
+### Read some values
+You can read temperature and humidity by using the following commands:
+
+`temperature = hdc1000.getTemp()` in Celsius degrees.
+
+`humidity = hdc1000.getHumi()` in %
+
+### Check your battery
+
+The following code returns true if the battery voltage is <2.8V, false otherwise.
+
+`isDead = hdc1000.batteryDead();`
+
+Happy making! Also, check out my Breakout Board and Arduino library for this chip: http://b.truzzi.me/hdc1000-temperature-and-humidity-sensor-breakout-with-arduino-library/.
