IDUINO for maker’s life
Description:
AM2302 digital temperature and humidity module is a digital output signal
containing a calibrated temperature and humidity combined sensor. It uses a
dedicated digital modules capture technology and the temperature and humidity
sensor technology to ensure that products with high reliability and excellent long-term
stability. Sensor includes a capacitive humidity sensing element and a high-precision
temperature measurement devices, and with a high-performance 8-bit
microcontroller connected. Therefore, the product has excellent quality, fast response,
anti-interference ability, high cost and other advantages. Ultra-small size, low power
consumption, signal transmission distance up to 20 meters. Making it the best choice
for all kinds of applications and even the most demanding applications.

DAT-------------D2
***********Code Begin**********
#include "DHT.h"
#define DHTPIN 2
#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302)

Serial.println("DHTxx test!");
dht.begin();
}
void loop() {
// Reading temperature or humidity takes about 250 milliseconds!
// Sensor readings may also be up to 2 seconds 'old' (its a very slow
sensor)
float h = dht.readHumidity();
float t = dht.readTemperature();
// check if returns are valid, if they are NaN (not a number) then something
went wrong!
