How to use DHT22 AM3302 Temperature and Humidity sensor with Arduino

[@sconescon6691]

Out of every Arduino tutorial out there, from every site across the board - and I've been to em all (or so it feels like, it's a lot!!) - you are BY FAR, the best at explaining things. Thank you so much and please carry on :))

[@robojax]

You are very welcome. I am please that you found my tutorials helpful. I appreciate sharing my channel with your friends.

[@aminnonplus]

Thanks pal ! Love from France

[@dr_akoto]

THIS IS MY SUCCESSFUL PRACTICAL TUTORIAL...THANKS ROBOJAX

[@robojax]

congratulations.

[@projardgreen2568]

explain more videos like this, the code in detail, I subscribed because of how detailed explenation was.

[@ronnytoro3]

Awesome page ! thanks for all your advices and information that you share!

[@tonysicily2687]

Awesome video, No music Clean video Nice VO Lots of info Thank you, Subscribed, Liked and Saved

[@robojax]

Much appreciated!

[@danmusiceasy]

Great tutorial, very clearly explained! I just made my first air monitor :) Do you have any tutorials on particle sensors and VOC sensors, or plan to do any in the future?

[@robojax]

I am glad you found it useful. This was the first time I heard VOC sensors. I just checked it, very interesting sensor for Air quality. I might make videos in the future. thanks

[@truthseeker7775]

Thank you so much Robojax. What a great video. I wish you had continued on to tell us how to write the code so that the sensor could turn on or turn off a light or motor when the temperature reached or declined to a certain temperature.=====================================================================================

[@robojax]

You are welcome. I will make video on that as well.

[@gamestv4875]

Good tutorial.Worked flawlessly. Thanks

You are welcome.

The DHT22 sensor enables temperature measurement in the range of -40 to 80°Celsius Does your program accept this? I.e it also shows negative temperatures?

[@robojax]

of course it does. if you get incorrect reading, either you have not selected the sensor in the code or there is wiring issue. I am assuming you have followed the instruction and installed the library. You may use the code for DHT22 from this video ignoring the WiFi feature kzbin.info/www/bejne/gImmlKCQitKtr5o

[@dtn2529]

Thank you very much for your reply. It is OK. Otherwise, you have very good, clear and understandable instructions. (Sory,google translation) @@robojax

Thank you bro, you make my day..

[@robojax]

My pleasure

[@alialvi419]

kindly tell me that while you run DHT tester ,your uno borad is connected or not?

[@robojax]

Of course it is connected. I connected to USB but you can connect it ot 6V to 15V power adapter .

[@jasperblase1374]

I know this is a bit of late but when I see the humidity readings on your video, it's very low. Is your room dry or just error from the sensor?

[@robojax]

I don’t remember what was the humidity but this sensor is very accurate.

[@sreejithunnikrishnan8484]

should we connect a resistor of 10k if its an Arduino mega 2560? or jus direct connection

[@robojax]

you made me worry with your question. my videos are totally different. I never leave the details out. if you watch it fully, your project should work. So after watching the "wiring explained" section, I saw that I have shown it. you don't need anything expect the wires.

[@sreejithunnikrishnan8484]

@@robojax Ok thanks

[@fatimamgaedeh4082]

Hello, great video and tutorial. My question is, when I have to use a resistor? So, if I want to connect 4 dht22 sensors together when I need a resistor?

[@robojax]

Hello Fatima, you don't need resistor if you have the module shown in the video. I have the code on our website robojax.com. I added the link to that page on the same page where you get the code. the link to code page is below this video in the description. good luck.

[@JohnWick-id6pk]

Hi, thank you for the informative video. What do you think would be the cheapest cable tu use the sensor at 3 meters from Raspberry ? Thanks

[@robojax]

You are welcome. This module doesn't need much power. Any wire will work.

[@JohnWick-id6pk]

Nice ! So just a basic USB wire is fine ? Thanks

[@fauzanfikri4340]

Hi robojax, can i use this sensor and a mega arduino stand alone without connecting it to a pc ?

[@robojax]

when we say Arduino it means stand alone. We use PC to just upload it after that we don't need the PC. yes this module works with any Arduino board. including Arduino Mega. Here is Arduino Step by step course with 100 video and codes Arduino Step by Step course that starts here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2fUhKV6iqZol5o

[@alnoorratansi9364]

as always I love watching your videos, how do handle negative temp. what changes do you have make in the code ?

[@robojax]

thank you very much. For negative temperature, it should just work fine. No change it needed.

[@michaelmotis3580]

Thank you bro!! good job! it does work for me

[@robojax]

You're welcome!

[@allan6952]

Thank you very much !! I have a question. Do you know the difference between the Temperature value and the Heat index value ? Which one is more accurate ?

[@robojax]

You are welcome. Please see the details for heat index from National Weather Services of USA: www.weather.gov/ama/heatindex#:~:text=The%20heat%20index%2C%20also%20known,sweat%20to%20cool%20itself%20off.

[@jamesdumancas9597]

Hi sir thanks for this helpful video i just wanna ask if the dht 22 can go faster than every 2 seconds loop?

[@robojax]

Because it measure humidity, it makes it to read slowly and you will not get accurate data less than 2sconds. See page 9 robojax.com/learn/arduino/robojax-DHT22_manual.pdf if you just need temperature measurement, then use another sensor and there are a lot other sensors that can read much faster .

[@Sidnoi-w5r]

Hello Robojax, Is it possible to have more than one DHT22 in the same project? Thanks

[@robojax]

Yes. I will going to make a video on that but if you watch this video, it should work for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWqTf6awl7N6bsU

[@fpt380]

Hello . Thank you for your nice video . I have a question: Are the sensors like LM35 and DH11-22 accurate and reliable? Are it need to calibrate? thank you

[@robojax]

You are welcome. I have not compared it with LM35. Because this is digital while LM35 is analogue, this should be much better. No calibration is needed. Datasheet/manual has been provided.

[@fpt380]

Robojax thank you for explain

[@iamrrebel]

Please I would like to know if this temperature sensor can work on poultry farms. Thank you

[@robojax]

Hello, it just senses the temperature and humidity and does not care about environment. Just make sure dirt does not cover it.

[@mohammednidal5206]

can we code this along with autonomous obstacle avoiding code??

[@robojax]

Yes you can.

[@UpSpider]

[@patrickduhirwenzivugira4729]

Thank you for the video. Any idea how I can add a wifi module and send the data read as REST API ?

[@robojax]

You are welcome. I would have to make video that. I have no tested code or components in hand.

[@Fubo777]

Would it be possible to use two of these sensors simultaneously with Arduino?

[@robojax]

Hello, yes you can use the idea from this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmfInJ9odqeWq7s to use two or more of this and here is how you can see it temperature from this sensor on mobile phone kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3KXXmmeeaaFh8U

if the distance of the sensor is 20 meters with the arduino, can the sensor work?

[@robojax]

I did the search, found the information for you with the link from manufacturer. read the datasheet and id you did not find, it contact the manufacturer. Use ESP32 or ESP8266 to read it over wifi. Search my channel. Here is how to find Specific KZbin Video in a channel bit.ly/findKZbinVideo

when i running this program and open serial monitor "Failed to read from DHT sensor!" you have an idea ? i have try with different device but same result

[@rianhamman6187]

The DTH22 sensor isn't working with this setup for me, the sensor is pulling to much power from my arduino, any idea why it would (in the exact same setup as the video)

[@robojax]

either your are connecting the wires incorrectly or the sensor is bad. The only way to know is to connect another sensor.

[@ELKopps11]

Mine fails. In troubleshooting if found that "nan" is in temp_hum_val[0] and 0 is in temp_hum_val[1].

Nan means wiring is incorrect
