Description
Hello, the code works for me, but i measure around 24-25 Celsius, but there is only 18 degress here. I use 3.3V supply(but i also tried with 5V) and a 10k resistor between data and VCC.
What can I do?
- board: ESP32 DEVKIT C
- Arduino IDE version (found in Arduino -> About Arduino menu): 1.8.19
CODE:
#include
#define DHTPIN 4
#define DHTTYPE DHT22
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
float h = 0;
float t = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
dht.begin();
}
void loop() {
if (isnan(h)) {
Serial.println("Failed to read Humidity from DHT sensor!");
return;
}
if (isnan(t)) {
Serial.println("Failed to read celsius from DHT sensor!");
return;
}
h= dht.readHumidity();
t= dht.readTemperature();
Serial.print(F("Humidity: "));
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print("°% ");
Serial.print(F("Temperature: "));
Serial.print(t);
Serial.println("°C ");
delay(3000);
}
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with setup(), loop(), and the dht.readHumidity() and dht.readTemperature() calls in the supplied sketch. Reproduce the DHT22 reading with the ESP32 DEVKIT C at the reported 3.3V and 5V configurations; done means identifying a reproducible library issue or documenting that the discrepancy is outside the library.
