Light emitted diodes (LED) are a semiconductor light source that emits light when the current flows through it. Electrons in semiconductor re-assemble electron holes and release energy in the form of photons. The color of light (consistent with photon energy) is determined by the energy required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor. In my previous tutorial, I explained How to blink led with Arduino board.

Today in this session we will learn to interface DHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor with Arduino in a step-by-step manner. This simple project provides the ability tosense the environment around it with a cheap DHT11 sensor.
This sensor is pre-calibrated and no additional components are required so you can immediately start measuring relative humidity and temperature. Actually, the DHT11 sensor includes a resistive element like NTC. NTC is a temperature measuring sensor. Besides, DHT11 has good quality and durability. The best thing that we love about this sensor is, it is very cheap.
DHT11 also includes an NTC / Thermistor to measure temperature. A thermistor is a thermal resistor whose resistance changes rapidly with temperature. The word “NTC” means “negative temperature coefficient“, which means that the resistance decreases with increasing temperature.
The DHT11 is a digital humidity and temperature sensor. It measures humidity from 20% to 80% with an accuracy of 5%. Similarly, temperatures range from0°C to 50°C with ±2.0°C accuracy. Generally, DHT11 requires a 10k-ohm external pull-up resistor between the VCC and the digital pin for a suitable interface. Anyway, the DHT11 module has built-in resistors. Therefore, an additional resistor is not required. It also has a decoupling capacitor to filter the noise in the power supply.
Now, it’s time to interface DHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor with Arduino UNO and 16×2 LCD Display. without doing delay let’s assemble the components with the help of following circuit diagram and tables.
Now, let’s program the Arduino UNO using this sketch. But, before uploading code to the Arduino. Download DHT Library file from below and copy it on Arduino Library Folder.
Copythe above code in your Arduino IDE and then go to the toolsmenu, select your correct board, and COM Port. Now, compilethe program and uploadit to your board.

Finally, we have learned to Interface DHT11 with Arduino & LCD. Now, you can see the Humidity and Temperature from the LCD Screen. I hope you found this project useful! Drop a comment below if you have any doubts or queries. I’ll do my best to answer your questions.
This tutorial explains how to read or control modules using Arduino libraries which will be very important in any project, for it not only makes the code minimalistic, it also saves precious time.
The temperature and humidity sensor is a popular Arduino project because of its practicality and of its use of inexpensive modules. Keep in mind that this project is scalable and could also be used with a DHT22 for a much more accurate reading.
The DHT11 is a 4-pin sensor used to measure temperature and ambient humidity. This sensor can measure tempareture that ranges from 0°C - 50°C (± 2°C accuracy), and can measure ambient humidity that ranges from 20% RH - 90% RH (± 5% accuracy).
The DHT11 sensor included in the Arduino Upgraded Starter Kit comes with an ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) so the number of pins used will be lessend to three.
The 1602 LCD module is a 16-pin device used for display purposes. It is labeled 1602 because 16 characters can be displayed in a row, and this particular module has 2 rows. In total, it can display 32 characters at once.
The 1602 LCD Module included in the Arduino Upgraded Starter Kit already has a soldered I2C Module. This is especially helpful for those with no soldering tools and those who are saving space for the pins since using an I2C module lessens the number of pins used from sixteen pins (for parallel interface) to only four (for I2C)
The potentiometer (small blue screw knob) mounted on the I2C module is used to control the contrast of the display. Turning it full counter clockwise will result in an empty display so make sure to test this out when troubleshooting later on!
This is also a default Arduino function. Any commands set here will be looped indefinitely. The showTempHumi() function is called here and it"s designed to allow the sensor to read the temperature and humidity every two seconds.
This is a function that focuses on the display. Remember to always set the command lcd.clear() in a loop so the updated temperature and humidity would show and will not simply append after the last character on the previous set.

The DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor is a nice little sensor that provides digital temperature and humidity readings. It’s really easy to set up, and only requires one wire for the data signal. These sensors are popular for use in remote weather stations, soil monitors, and home automation systems.
Programming the DHT11 and connecting it to a Raspberry Pi is pretty simple too. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to connect the DHT11 to the Raspberry Pi and output the humidity and temperature readings to an SSH terminal or to an LCD. Then I’ll give you some example programs for programming it with either C or Python.
We have another tutorial on the DHT11 for the Arduino that goes into detail on relative humidity and how the DHT11 measures it. So instead of repeating all of that here, check out How to Set Up the DHT11 Humidity Sensor on an Arduino, then come back for the specifics on setting it up on the Raspberry Pi.
But just to quickly summarize… The DHT11 has a surface mounted NTC thermistor and a resistive humidity sensor. An IC on the back of the module converts the resistance measurements from the thermistor and humidity sensor into digital temperature (in °C) and relative humidity measurements.
There are two variants of the DHT11 you’re likely to come across. One is a three pin PCB mounted module and the other is a four pin stand-alone module. The pinout is different for each one, so connect the DHT11 according to which one you have:
I’ll explain how to use both C and Python to get temperature and humidity from the DHT11, so you’ll be able to incorporate the DHT11 into pretty much any existing RPi project.
We’ll be using WiringPi to program the DHT11 in C. If you don’t have WiringPi installed already, follow this link for instructions on how to install WiringPi.
For temperature in Celsius, un-comment line 72 where it says lcdPrintf(lcd, "Temp: %d.0 C", dht11_dat[2]);, then comment out line 73. To find out more about how to control text on an LCD with C, check out How to Setup an LCD on the Raspberry Pi and Program it With C.
We’ll be using the Adafruit DHT11 Python library. You can download the library using Git, so if you don’t have Git installed on your Pi already, enter this at the command prompt:
To output the DHT11 readings to an LCD, we’ll need to install another Python library called RPLCD to drive the LCD. To install the RPLCD library, we first need to install the Python Package Index, or PIP. PIP might already be installed on your Pi, but if not, enter this at the command prompt to install it:
That should about cover most of what you’ll need to get the DHT11 up and running on your Raspberry Pi. Hope this made it easier for you. Be sure to subscribe if you liked this article and found it useful, and if you have any questions or need help with anything, just leave a comment below…
Want to keep a log of the climate in your greenhouse, build a humidor control system, or track temperature and humidity data for a weather station project? AOSONG’s DHT11 or DHT22 Temperature and Humidity Sensor could be the perfect fit for you!
These sensors are factory-calibrated and do not require any external components to function. With just a few connections and a bit of Arduino code, you can begin measuring relative humidity and temperature right away.
The DHT11 and the DHT22 are the two most widely used sensors in the DHTxx series. They look kind of the same and have the same pinout, but their specs are different.
Of the two, the DHT22 is more expensive and, undoubtedly, has better specifications. The DHT22 can measure temperatures from -40°C to +125°C with an accuracy of ±0.5°C, while the DHT11 can measure temperatures from 0°C to 50°C with an accuracy of ±2°C. In addition, the DHT22 sensor can measure relative humidity from 0 to 100% with an accuracy of 2-5%, while the DHT11 sensor can only measure relative humidity from 20 to 80% with an accuracy of 5%.
Despite the fact that the DHT22 is more accurate, precise, and capable of operating in a wider range of temperature and humidity, there are three areas where the DHT11 completely outperforms the DHT22 – It is more affordable, more compact, and has a higher sampling rate. DHT11 takes a reading once per second (or 1Hz sampling rate), while DHT22 takes a reading once every two seconds (or 0.5Hz sampling rate).
Despite these differences, the operating voltage of both sensors ranges from 3 to 5 volts, with a maximum current of 2.5mA (during conversion). The best part is that DHT11 and DHT22 sensors are swappable, which means that if you build your project with one, you can simply unplug it and replace it with another. Your code may need to be tweaked slightly, but the wiring remains the same!
Connecting DHT sensors to Arduino is straightforward. They have fairly long 0.1′′-pitch pins, allowing them to be easily plugged into any breadboard. Connect the VCC pin to the Arduino’s 5V and the GND pin to ground. Finally, connect the Data pin to digital pin #8.
After installing the library, copy and paste this sketch into the Arduino IDE. The following test sketch will print the temperature and relative humidity values to the serial monitor. Try out the sketch, and then we’ll go over it in more detail.
The sketch begins by including the DHT library. Following that, we specify the Arduino pin number to which our sensor’s Data pin is connected and create a DHT object.
In the loop, we use the read22(dataPin) function to read the DHT22. This function takes as a parameter the sensor’s Data pin number. When working with DHT11, you must use the read11() function; to do so, you just need to uncomment the second line.
If you’re constructing your own incubator or a similar project, you’ll need a 16×2 character LCD rather than a serial monitor to display the current temperature and humidity levels. So, in this example, we’ll also connect the LCD to the Arduino in addition to the DHT11 and DHT22 sensors.
The sketch below will display the temperature and relative humidity values on the 16×2 character LCD. This sketch is similar to the previous one, except that the values are printed on the LCD.
In the above code, we have used two libraries, the LiquidCrystal and DHT library. The LiquidCrystal comes pre-installed with Arduino. But the DHT library from Adafruit has to be installed manually. You can see the DHT11 Humidity and Temperature Sensor with Arduino tutorial where we have explained how to install the DHT library. These two libraries header files, the LiquidCrystal.h and DHT.h, are included in the program above.
In order to use the DHT library feature, we have to specify which DHT sensor we are using. The DHT library supports DHT11, DHT22 and DHT21 sensors. So to specify that we are using DHT11 we use the define DHTType DHT11 statement. Next we have to specify which microcontroller pin will be connected to the data pin of the sensor and as shown above in dht11 interfacing with arduino wiring diagram, we have to pin 7 and this is done using the define DHTPIN 7 statement.
Down the code we have used the LiquidCrystal lcd() and dht() function to initialize the LCD library and DHT library by specifying which pins are used for each case.
In the setup() function, we initialize and start the DHT sensor using the dht.begin() and the LCD using the lcd.begin() function which requires to specify number of columns(16) and rows(2). After this, we use the print() function to print string "DHT11" on the LCD. The setCursor(0, 1) function puts the string following it("Humidity/Temp.") in the 2nd line of the LCD.
In the loop() function, we first use delay() function to wait for 2 second for DHT sensor and LCD to initialize. Next we have used the readHumidity() and readTemperature() methods of object dht to read humidity and temperature and have stored them in the float variable H and T. The next if statement is to check whether the data read from the sensor are valid or not. If the data read is not valid then error message is shown otherwise the next statement following it are executed. If there is no error, the last statements are just there to print the read values onto the LCD screen.
