Lesson 14 DHT11 Temperature and

Humidity Sensor

Introduction

In this lesson,you will learn how to use a DHT11 Temperature and Humidity
Sensor.

Hardware Required

 1 * RexQualis UNO R3

 1 * DHT11 Temperature and Humidity module

 3 * F-M Jumper Wires

Principle

DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor

DHT11 output calibrated digital signal. It applies exclusive digital-signal-colle


cting-technique and humidity sensing technology, assuring its reliability and st
ability. Its sensing elements are connected with an 8-bit single-chip computer.
Every sensor of this model is temperature compensated and calibrated in an
accurate calibration chamber and the calibration-coefficient is saved in the
type of program in OTP memory when the sensor is detecting, it will cite the
coefficient from memory.

Small size & low consumption & long transmission distance(100m) enable DH
T11 to be suited in all kinds of
harsh application occasions. Single-row packaged with four pins, making the c
onnection very convenient.

Experimental Procedures

Step 1:Build the circuit

Schematic Diagram
Step 2: Open the code:

DHT11_Temperature_and_Humidity_Sensor_Code
Step 3: Attach Arduino UNO R3 board to your computer via
USB cable and check that the 'Board Type' and 'Serial Port' are
set correctly.

Step 4: Upload the code to the RexQualis UNO R3 board.

Step 5: Open the Serial Monitor,alter the baud rate to 19200,


then you can see the data as below:

(How to use the Serial Monitor is introduced in details in


Lesson 0 Preface)
If it isn’t working, make sure you have assembled the circuit
correctly, verified and uploaded the code to your board. For
how to upload the code and install the library, check Lesson 0
Preface.
