TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSOR DHT22
DHT22 is a compound digital temperature and humidity sensor which outputs calibrated digital signals.
DHT22 comes with very high reliability and excellent long-term stability.
DHT22 includes a capacitive moisture sensor and a NTC temperature measuring element which is connected
to a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller, resulting an excellent quality, super fast response time, strong
anti-interference ability and extremely cost-efficient.
Compared with SHT10 temperature and humiditiy sensor, DHT22 enjoys a higher precision and lower price,
making it an ideal choice for mid price range, high performance temperature & humidity sensors.
If used together with Arduino expansion boards, you’ll easily get interactives of correlation between temperature and humidity perception.
Pin Identification and Configuration
| No: | Pin Name | Description |
