Here is an example code to read data from a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor connected to the Arduino Mega Sensor Shield V2.
#include <DHT.h>
#define DHTPIN 2 // Pin where the DHT11 is connected
#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
dht.begin();
}
void loop() {
// Wait a few seconds between measurements
delay(2000);
// Reading temperature or humidity takes about 250 milliseconds
float h = dht.readHumidity();
float t = dht.readTemperature();
// Check if any reads failed and exit early (to try again)
if (isnan(h) || isnan(t)) {
Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
return;
}
// Print the results to the Serial Monitor
Serial.print("Humidity: ");
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print(" %\t");
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(t);
Serial.println(" *C");
}
