Read temperature and humidity from DHT 22 Sensor using Arduino

DHT 22 is low cost temperature and humidity sensor. This sensor has more accuracy compared to previous version (DHT 11). See the comparison here. My DHT 22 comes with in breakout board, so there is no need to add additional resistor to drop the voltage. This sensor has 3 pins.

Above photo shows DHT 22 compared to GY BMP 280. The pins out is easy.

GND

Connecting sensor to Arduino also easy.

VCC <-----> Arduino 5V
Output <-----> Digital Pin 2
GND <------> Arduino GND

Connect Arduino with computer and run Arduino IDE. Install Adafruit DHT sensor library from Libraries Manager.

Install Adafruit Unified Sensor.

Install DHT Sensor Library.

Download test sketch from my github : https://github.com/satujamsaja/Arduino/tree/master/dht22

and run the sketch.

Here is the result:

Good luck.

Using LCD 2004a I2C on project with Arduino

On previous post measurement sensor results displayed on serial monitor. This is good when we are on development stage. When we want something more independent we need external display. I have purchased a few type of display. For now we will use LCD 2004 for external display.

Arduino : Controlling PL9823-F8 RGB LED

I have great passion about electronics since I was in middle school then high school. With some of my school friend that has same passion in electronics, we built radio transmitter so we can communicate each other at anytime. It was so cool back then. Thats why I took study on electrical Engineering. Instead of working on Electrical engineering field, I end up become web programmer. Something I found interesting when i was in college. That's old story. But lately I get bored and try to get another hobby. I have many hobbies and creating electronics stuff is one of it. So I bought my self Arduino Uno and few electronic components to get started learning Arduino programming. So my first project is controlling RGB Led. Here what you need: Arduino Uno with usb data cable and Arduino IDE Install Adafruit Neopixel library 3 PL9823 RGB led Breadboard Jumper cables (mostly male to male) First you need to install Arduino IDE. You can download it here . That would depend

Read temperature and barometric pressure from GY BMP 280 using Arduino

This sensor based on BMP 280 digital pressure sensor made by Bosch. You can find the complete datasheet here . This small sensor is quite impressive with it's accuracy. It claimed to be ±1 hPa in measuring barometric pressure, ±1.0°C in temperature measurement and ±1 meter in altitude accuracy. Pretty impressive right ?
