Chapter 5: Humidity and Temperature Measurement

This chapter describes how to practically measure humidity and temperature in an environment, as well as how to connect specialized sensors to a microcontroller board. You will find out how to use the commonly used sensors DHT11 and LM35. In this chapter, you will gain valuable information regarding gaining data acquisition from a temperature and humidity sensor and a sensor module and how to display it to a user.

In this chapter, we are going to cover the following main topics:

  • Introducing the DHT11 humidity and temperature sensor module
  • Connecting the DHT11 and LM35 sensors to the microcontroller boards
  • Coding to get data from the sensor module
  • Showing the humidity and temperature data results ...
