Summary of the Circuit
This circuit is designed to interface an Arduino UNO with a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor and an LCD display. The LCD is used to display data read from the DHT11 sensor. A potentiometer is included to adjust the contrast of the LCD. The Arduino UNO serves as the central processing unit, controlling the data flow and display output.
