Temp / Humidity (DHT11) component

The DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor is a popular sensor allowing the ambient temperature and relative humidity to be monitored digitally. Humidity Range = 20% - 90% +/- 5% Temperature Range = 0 - 50 Degrees C +/- 2 Degrees C

Examples

Example Program showing how to sample the DHT11 sensor and show the temperature and humidity on an LCD. DHT11 Example






Macro reference

GetHumidityFloat

GetHumidityFloat
Gets the humidity returned by calling SampleSensor as a floating point number.  
- FLOAT Return


GetHumidityReal

GetHumidityReal
Gets the real number portion of the humidity returned by calling SampleSensor. If humidity is 15.8 % then this function would return 8. 
- INT Return


GetHumidityString

GetHumidityString
Gets the humidity returned by calling SampleSensor as a string.  
- STRING Return


GetHumidityWhole

GetHumidityWhole
Gets the whole number portion of the humidity returned by calling SampleSensor. If humidity is 15.8 % then this function would return 15. 
- INT Return


GetTempFloat

GetTempFloat
Gets the temperature returned by calling SampleSensor as a floating point number.  
- FLOAT Return


GetTempReal

GetTempReal
Gets the real number portion of the temperature returned by calling SampleSensor. If temperature is 15.8 degrees C then this function would return 8. 
- INT Return


GetTempString

GetTempString
Gets the temperature returned by calling SampleSensor as a string.  
- STRING Return


GetTempWhole

GetTempWhole
Gets the whole number portion of the temperature returned by calling SampleSensor. If temperature is 15.8 degrees C then this function would return 15. 
- INT 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.
