PIN DESCRIPTION
DHT11 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSOR
ARDUINO SENSOR SHIELD
LIBRARY REQUIRED
To run the appropriate code in Arduino IDE you will first have to install the DHT library in you Arduino directory.
Download the zip file from
(http://hobbyist.co.nz/sites/default/files/WeatherStation/DHT.zip) and place it in your Arduino library folder. The path to Arduino library folder for my computer is
Documents/ Arduino/ Libraries
Unzip the downloaded file and place it in this folder.
After copying the files, the Arduino library folder should have a new folder named DHT containing the dht.h and dht.cpp. After that copy the following code in the Arduino IDE and upload the code.
CIRCUIT CONNECTION
- First of all , we put all sensor shield on arduino uno.
- Then connect the dht11 sensor on sensor shield port as define in code
- Upload the code to arduino uno.
- At Last, open the serial monitor for result show to display.
Note: Here we are using Sensor shield but you can use arduino uno because pin connections are same.

WORKING
Welcome to the Arduino Based Humidity check Project which consists of DHT11 Humidity & Temperature Sensor Module and Arduino Sensor Shield. The humidity is sensed using a moisture dependent resistor. It has two electrodes and in between them there exist a moisture holding substrate which holds moisture. The conductance and hence resistance changes with changing humidity. Both these temperatures and humidity a changes are processed by an IC placed on the other side of the board. It calculates the values of both and can transmit those values to a microcontroller using only a single data line.
In this project we use sensor shield interfacing with Arduino Uno in which we connect the Dht 11 with sensor shield and reading will be shown on serial monitor.
