Crash Course: Using the DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor
Objective
Teach learners how to use the DHT11 sensor module to measure temperature and humidity, and integrate its readings with a TRIOE microcontroller.
Materials Required
- DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor Module
- TRIOE
- Breadboard and jumper wires
- USB cable for programming the TRIOE
- Computer with Arduino IDE installed
Steps
1Understand the DHT11 Sensor
- The DHT11 measures: Temperature in degrees Celsius, Humidity as a percentage.
- Pin Description: VCC: Power supply (3.3V or 5V), GND: Ground, DATA: Data communication pin.
2Set Up the Circuit
- Connect the VCC pin to the TRIOE's 5V.
- Connect the GND pin to the TRIOE's GND.
- Connect the DATA pin to the TRIOE's digital pin 2.
3Install the DHT Library
- Open the Arduino IDE.
- Go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries.
- Search for 'DHT sensor library' and install the library.
- Also, install the 'DHT library' if prompted.
