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

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. | |
