Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit integrates a DHT11 Humidity and Temperature Sensor with an ESP32 microcontroller and includes a resistor for potential voltage division or pull-up/down purposes. The ESP32 reads data from the DHT11 sensor, which can be used to monitor environmental conditions. The circuit is powered by the ESP32's 3.3V output, and the sensor's data line is connected to the ESP32 through a resistor, which may serve as a pull-up resistor.
