Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit integrates an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi with an LCD Display and a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. The Arduino serves as the central microcontroller, interfacing with the LCD Display for output and the DHT11 sensor for environmental data input. The circuit is designed to be powered by the Arduino's 5V output, which is distributed to the other components.

Additional Notes
- The provided code is a template and does not include specific functionality. It needs to be populated with the logic for initializing the LCD display and reading data from the DHT11 sensor.
- The
setup()function is intended for initial configuration, and theloop()function will contain the main operational code that runs continuously. - The LCD display wiring assumes a 4-bit data interface with the Arduino. Additional code is required to control the LCD and display information.
- The DHT11 sensor's data pin is connected to the Arduino's digital pin D7. The code to read from the DHT11 sensor is not included and should be implemented in the
loop()function.
