a general room environmental tracking sensor. It is, in effect, a cut
down version of the environmental sensor package of my [Supersensor 2.x](https://github.com/joshuaboniface/supersensor2)
project in a much smaller footprint.

Power is provided by USB-C, though a very slim connector is required when
using SMD soldering without a buffer.
The Sensirion sensors are elevated with through-hole pins, to ensure
optimal distance between the (warm) board and the sensors themselves.
You can either directly solder the sensors to the board or, as I do,
use 4-pin female sockets for easy changing should it be necessary.
For more details, please [see my blog post on the MicroEnv project](https://www.boniface.me/the-microenv/).
