Arduino Sensor Kit's DHT20 sensor reading

Currently, the DHT20 sensor is not compatible with the Arduino Sensor Kit library. Learn how to get readings from the DHT 20 sensor using a 3rd party library.

DHT 20 sensor.

  1. Download the Grove Temperature And Humidity Sensor library.

  2. Manually install the library.

  3. Uninstall any competing libraries. (e.g. previous versions of the Grove Temperature And Humidity Sensor library).

  4. Make sure that only one DHT.h file is in your libraries folder. (The only DHT.h file available should be the one inside the “Grove_Temperature_And_Humidity_Sensor-master” folder).

  5. Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.

  6. Copy this example to the sketch.

  7. Change the serial speed to 9600 by writing debug.begin(9600) in line 21.

  8. Upload the sketch.
