Macro reference

GetHumidityFloat

GetHumidityFloat
Gets the humidity returned by calling SampleSensor as a floating point number.  
- FLOAT Return


GetHumidityReal

GetHumidityReal
Gets the real number portion of the humidity returned by calling SampleSensor. If humidity is 15.8 % then this function would return 8. 
- INT Return


GetHumidityString

GetHumidityString
Gets the humidity returned by calling SampleSensor as a string.  
- STRING Return


GetHumidityWhole

GetHumidityWhole
Gets the whole number portion of the humidity returned by calling SampleSensor. If humidity is 15.8 % then this function would return 15. 
- INT Return


GetTempFloat

GetTempFloat
Gets the temperature returned by calling SampleSensor as a floating point number.  
- FLOAT Return


GetTempReal

GetTempReal
Gets the real number portion of the temperature returned by calling SampleSensor. If temperature is 15.8 degrees C then this function would return 8. 
- INT Return


GetTempString

GetTempString
Gets the temperature returned by calling SampleSensor as a string.  
- STRING Return


GetTempWhole

GetTempWhole
Gets the whole number portion of the temperature returned by calling SampleSensor. If temperature is 15.8 degrees C then this function would return 15. 
- INT Return


SampleSensor

SampleSensor
Communicates with the DHT11 sensor and receives the temperature and humidity readings. Returns 0 for success, 1 for no communication detected and 2 for checksum error. 
- BYTE Return


Property reference

Properties
Data Pin
Microcontroller I/O Pin connected to the DHT11 sensor data pin. 
Use Checksum
The checksum value is used to ensure the data being received is correct. Yes = Only receive data if checksum is correct No = Ignore checksum 
Advanced Settings
Clock Adjustment
On 8-bit PIC devices the timings can be a little tight as slower clock speeds and so we implement an adjustment factor to allow the sensor to function. Auto mode will attempt to automatically calculate a correct adjustment factor. Manual mode will allow you to set your own adjustment factor.
