DTH11 sensor errors

Bentley Sorsdahl asked 9 years ago

I have tried two different libraries for the DTH11, one tells me that the sensor is timing out. The other just says unable to read sensor.
Have tried changing the sensor (3 of them ) and two different ESP8266. Also tried slowing down the serial connection to 9600 … Any other ideas would be greatly welcome.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Ben

Just tried the same code on a Mega board with same results .. it would seem that the 3 sensor I received are faulty.  *sigh*

Hi Bentley. 
I was just going to say if you could test the sensors with an Arduino. It could be a power issue with the ESP8266 and the 5V rail (not supplying enough power).
I’ve never experienced a DHT faulty, but that can easily happen.
By the way, in my sketch examples I have the ESP8266 baud rate set to 115200
Thanks for your patience,
Rui
