Return |
SampleSensor
|
|
SampleSensor |
| Communicates with the DHT11 sensor and receives the temperature and humidity readings. Returns 0 for success, 1 for no communication detected and 2 for checksum error. | |
 - BYTE
|
Return |
Property reference
|
Properties |
|
Data Pin |
| Microcontroller I/O Pin connected to the DHT11 sensor data pin. | |
|
Use Checksum |
| The checksum value is used to ensure the data being received is correct. Yes = Only receive data if checksum is correct No = Ignore checksum | |
|
Advanced Settings |
|
Clock Adjustment |
| On 8-bit PIC devices the timings can be a little tight as slower clock speeds and so we implement an adjustment factor to allow the sensor to function. Auto mode will attempt to automatically calculate a correct adjustment factor. Manual mode will allow you to set your own adjustment factor. | |
