This document summarizes an experiment interfacing a DHT22 humidity and temperature sensor with an Arduino Uno board. The DHT22 sensor measures surrounding air temperature and humidity and outputs a digital signal. It is connected to the Arduino with pins for ground, power, and signal. The code initializes the DHT sensor, reads the temperature and humidity values in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, and prints them to the serial monitor. It uses libraries to interface with the I2C sensor and check for invalid readings from the DHT.

Lab 7: Interfacing of DHT22 Humidity and Temperature Sensor with Arduino


Uno Board.
Introduction:

The DHT-22 (also named as AM2302) is a digital-output relative humidity and temperature sensor. It uses a
capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air, and spits out a digital signal on the
data pin. In this tutorial you will learn how to use this sensor with Arduino uno.

Description about DHT22 Sensor & it’s pin functions:

The DHT22 is a basic, low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity
sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air and spits out a digital signal on the data pin (no
analog input pins needed).
DHT sensors have 3 pins: GND, VCC & Signal. You have to connect the following 3 pins to the Board: GND to
Ground Pin of the Board. VCC to 3.3V or VCC Pin of the Board.

Program:

#include <Wire.h>
#include “DHT.h”
#define DHTTYPE DHT22
uint8_t DHTPin = 5;
//D1
DHT dht(DHTPin, DHTTYPE);
float Temperature;
float Humidity;
void setup() (
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(DHTPin, INPUT);
dht.begin();
}

void loop() {
Humidity = dht.readHumidity();
// Read temperature as Celsius (the default)
Temperature = dht.readTemperature();
// Read temperature as Fahrenheit (isFahrenheit = true)
float Temp_Fahrenheit = dht.readTemperature(true)
// Check if any reads failed and exit early (to try again)
if(isnan(Humidity) || isnan(Temperature)) {
Serial.println(F(“Failed to read from DHT Sensor!”));
return;
}
Serial.print(F(“Humidity: “));
Serial.print(Humidity);
Serial.println(“%”);
Serial.print(F(“Temperature: “));
Serial.print(Temperature);
Serial.println(F(“°C”));
Serial.print(F(“Temperature in Fahrenheit: “));
Serial.print(Temp_Fahrenheit);
Serial.println(F(“°F”));
delay(5000)
}

Function Description:

• isnan() - The isNaN() function determines whether a value is not a number, first converting the
value to a number if necessary. Because coercion inside the isNaN() function can be surprising,
you may prefer to use Number.isNaN().
• Wire.h - this library allows you to communicate with I2C devices, a feature that is present on all
Arduino boards. I2C is a very common protocol, primarly used for reading/sending data to/from
external I2C components.

• dht.pin - the pin the DHT sensor is connected to. DHTTYPE: DHT type (the kit uses the DHT11)
• dht.begin() – starts and initializes the DHT object
