Fabduino - Reading DHT11

 

In this page is described how can Fabduino board reads an analog device es DHT11.

 

 

Using the program below, it shows messages en the Serial Monitor, bur is not reading any data.

 

 

References about the DHT11 in this link

 

In Adafruit there is an example of reading the DHT11 in this link

 

In github is the corresponding library and a example.

 

Applying the Adafruit instructions, with some modifications:

 

• Download files from github repository.
• Uncompress the folder.
• Rename the uncompressed folder as DHT.
• Adafruit instruction say...Drag the DHT folder into the arduinosketchfolder/libraries/ folder. I did into the "C:\Users\PC\Documents\Arduino\libraries" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\DHT" libary. My ide is Arduino IDE 1.6.8.
• Restart the IDE
• Now load up the Examples->DHT->DHTtester sketch.
• Compile it. When I did, the following message appeared

 

 

 

 

​

So it was necesary to left the files only in the first library.

You can see Fabduino reading a DHT11 and showing the humidity and tempertaure in the Serial Monitor
