Hi, I bought this sensor. But there are so many confustions. I want to use it with raspberry pi instead of arduino. Will it support raspberry pi? First, please clarify me it this is a digital sensor or analog sensor? Which port is the VCC and GND? Your schematic diagram says the middle one is ground and your Wiki page shows the middle one is VCC. Second, your wiki page says "Connect a 4.7K resistor between VCC and the data pin (strong pullup)" but your schematic shows there is already a 10K pull up resistor. So which one is correct? Do I need to connect pullup resistor or not?

Hi!
I can't get this to work with the sample sketch. It says "Requesting data... Sync Timeout". If I change to another pin (without update the code it says "not present". If I change to another pin (with code update to match). It says : "Requesting data... Sync Timeout" again. Could something be broken with the sensor?

Hi, this sensor is attached to the board, and the cable is used to connect to Arduino directly, it's not very long, like 20cm, it can't have long cables since the signal interference. There is no case or any protection for this sensor, if you want to use this sensor, we recommend you to make a protection of both sensor and arduino.
For the comparison of two sensors, you can read the datasheet of two sensors,.Basically, DHT22 have higher resolution and more accurate outputs, SHT10 has a industrial probe, it will be more sustainable, suit for long term use.

You mean the layout? https://github.com/Arduinol...

Hi Andrea, this error mean, arduino always get high level signal or low level signal, Check your connection and your power supply. Does the pin you have defined in the code? Anyway, it is better to post it on the forum. attaching your diagram and connection.

Hi, I have one question.
What is the product name of the connector used in the J1? (with manufacturer)

Hi, I made some measurement with one of your dfrobot DHT22 sensor, the measurement looks accurate, but I found that the sensor is extremely slow to adapt to changing conditions.

Example: If I move the sensor from inside a room (21°C) to outside (8°C), oviously I see the temperature readings decrease, but the reading decreases by only -0.1°C, every 2 second reading... So for such a temperature change, it will take more than 4min to have an accurate and stable reading of 8°C.

Is it expected from this kind of sensor? Does it mean it's not appropriate if I want to monitor sudden/brief temperature changes?

Thanks

HI, I've checked the schematic, it has been out of date. please follow the wiki guide. and it doesn't need resister, since it has been integrated on the sensor. The middle pin for Gravity sensor series is VCC. you could connect the cable on sensor, Black is GND, red is VCC, Green means this is digital sensor. Here is a problem with RPI, the sensor requires a library for its communication protocol, I am not sure how to do it. Google show me this one, maybe it will be helpful. http://www.rototron.info/dh...
