This module utilizes the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. The DHT11 sensor's relative humidity range is 20%-80% ±5% and its temperature range is 0℃-50℃ ±2℃. DHT11 uses a single bus communication which needs only one data line. DATA is used for communication and synchronization between the microprocessor and DHT11. Its data format consists of the 8bit humidity integer data and 8bit the Humidity decimal data, and 8 bit temperature integer data and 8bit fractional temperature data and 8 bit parity bit. Its application of a dedicated digital modules collection technology and the temperature and humidity sensing technology, to ensure that the product has high reliability, excellent long-term stability, low cost and long distance (up to 20 meters) signal transmission. We simplified the DHT11's 4-pin to 3-pin.

==Basic Device Operation==
 +
The DHT11 module uses a simplified single-bus serial communication. DATA controls communication and synchronization between the microprocessor and DHT11. A data transfer takes 4ms. The data format contains an integer part and a decimal part. The basic operation is as follows:
 +
* a transmission of 40 data, the high first-out
 +
* data format: 8bit humidity integer data + 8bit the Humidity decimal data <br>
 +
* 8bit temperature integer data + 8bit fractional temperature data <br>
 +
* 8 bit parity bit <br>
 +
* If a transmission is successful the “8bit humidity integer data + 8bit humidity decimal data +8 bit temperature integer data + 8bit temperature fractional data” 8bit checksum is equal to the results of the last eight. <br>
 +
* After the user host (MCU) sends a signal DHT11 is converted from low-power mode to high-speed mode, until the host begins to signal the end. Then DHT11 sends a response signal to send 40bit data, and trigger a letter collection. If DHT11 doesn't receive a signal from the host it will not begin a letter collection. After the letter collection is done DHT11 will turn to low power mode.

==Compile & Run Test Program==
 +
Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
 +
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.
 +
 
 +
Compile and install Matrix:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ cd matrix
 +
$ make && make install
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
Run test program:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ matrix-temp_humidity
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.<br>
 +

 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
The humidity is 35000

This module utilizes the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. The DHT11 sensor's relative humidity range is 20%-80% ±5% and its temperature range is 0℃-50℃ ±2℃. DHT11 uses a single bus communication which needs only one data line. Its DATA line is used for communication and synchronization between the microprocessor and DHT11. Its data format consists of the 8bit humidity integer data and 8bit the Humidity decimal data, and 8 bit temperature integer data and 8bit fractional temperature data and 8 bit parity bit. Its application of a dedicated digital modules collection technology and the temperature and humidity sensing technology, to ensure that the product has high reliability, excellent long-term stability, low cost and long distance (up to 20 meters) signal transmission. We simplified the DHT11's 4-pin to 3-pin.

1 Introduction

Temperature and Humidity Sensor
  • The Matrix-Temperature_and_Humidity_Sensor module is used to detect temperature and humidity.
  • It utilizes the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. Its humidity range is 20% - 80% and the accuracy is 5%. Its temperature range is 0℃ - 50℃ and the accuracy is ±2℃.

2 Features

  • Humidity range: 20 - 80%RH, Temperature range 0 ~ 50℃
  • Accuracy of humidity: +-5%RH, accuracy of temperature: +-2℃
  • One wire communication
  • 2.54 mm spacing pin
  • PCB dimension (mm): 16 x 32

3 Basic Device Operation

The DHT11 module uses a simplified single-bus serial communication. DATA controls communication and synchronization between the microprocessor and DHT11. A data transfer takes 4ms. The data format contains an integer part and a decimal part. The basic operation is as follows:

  • a transmission of 40 data, the high first-out
  • data format: 8bit humidity integer data + 8bit the Humidity decimal data
  • 8bit temperature integer data + 8bit fractional temperature data
  • 8 bit parity bit
  • If a transmission is successful the “8bit humidity integer data + 8bit humidity decimal data +8 bit temperature integer data + 8bit temperature fractional data” 8bit checksum is equal to the results of the last eight.
  • After the user host (MCU) sends a signal DHT11 is converted from low-power mode to high-speed mode, until the host begins to signal the end. Then DHT11 sends a response signal to send 40bit data, and trigger a letter collection. If DHT11 doesn't receive a signal from the host it will not begin a letter collection. After the letter collection is done DHT11 will turn to low power mode.

5 Compile & Run Test Program

Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:

$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.

Compile and install Matrix:

$ cd matrix
$ make && make install

Run test program:

$ matrix-temp_humidity

Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:

The humidity is 35000
The temperature is 26000

The module successfully read the environment's humidity and temperature values.

6 Code Sample

This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-temperature_and_humidity_sensor". Here is its source code:

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int ret = -1;
    int dhtTemp=0, dhtHdty=0, board;
    char modStr[BUF_SIZE];
    int pin = GPIO_PIN(7);
 
    if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) {
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
        return -1;
    }    
    if (board == BOARD_NANOPI_T2)
        pin = GPIO_PIN(15);
 
    sprintf(modStr, "modprobe %s gpio=%d", DRIVER_MODULE, pintoGPIO(pin));
    system(modStr);
    if ((ret = dht11Read(DHT_HUMIDITY, &dhtHdty)) != -1) {
        printf("The humidity is %d\n", dhtHdty);
    } else {
        printf("Faided to get humidity\n");
    }
    if ((ret = dht11Read(DHT_TEMP, &dhtTemp)) != -1) {
        printf("The temperature is %d\n", dhtTemp);
    } else {
        printf("Faided to get temperature\n");
    }
    system("rmmod "DRIVER_MODULE);
    return ret;
}
