DHT11 Arduino Interfacing

Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, we will have a look at the DHT11 Arduino Interfacing. DHT11 is an embedded sensor, used to measure both temperature and humidity of the surroundings. It is made up of two different parts i.e. capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor. DHT11 is a slow sensor but is quite efficient for the applications where we need to do some basic analog data exchange. There is a small chip inside this sensor which performs the function of analog to digital to analog conversion and gives the results for temperature as well as for humidity in digital form. This digital signal can be read easily through any micro-controller.

LM335 is another temperature sensor and to understand today's post more properly, you should also go through Introduction to LM335. DHT11 is a low cost sensor and is easily available in the market now a days. This property makes it more popular among the similar type of sensors. It provide precise results with the higher efficiency. It has a small size and low power consumption. It can transmit the signal up to 20 meters. It has four pins whose detail will be explained later. DHT11 has a lot of features including low cost, long term stability, fast response time, excellent quality, long distance signal transmission and many more. In real life DHT11 can be used at several different places e.g. home appliances, weather stations, consumer goods etc. the further detail about DHT11 Arduino Interfacing will be given later in this tutorial.

What is DHT11 Sensor?

• DHT11 is an electronic sensor, consists of 4 pins and is used to measure the temperature and humidity of the surroundings.
• DHT Pinout is as follows:
  1. Pin#1: Vcc (+5V)
  2. Pin#2: Out (digital)
  3. Pin#3: NC (Not Connected)
  4. Pin#4: GND (Ground)
• It has both a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor embedded in it.
• It is a low-cost sensor but provides precise results and it gives value once every 2 seconds.
• DHT11 measures the relative humidity of the surrounding.
• It is used in home appliances, weather stations, medical humidity control, data loggers, HVAC and at several security places.
• DHT11 along with its pinout is shown in the figure given below.

DHT11 Pinout

• Before using any electronic device we must know about the functions of its all pins.
• DHT Pinout is as follows:
  1. Pin#1: Vcc: We need to provide +5V to this pin.
  2. Pin#2: Out: Output Pin for reading DHT11 data.
  3. Pin#3: NC: It's an open pin and is not connected to anything(For future use).
  4. Pin#4: GND: Need to provide ground to this pin.
• DHT11 pin description is provided in the below table:

DHT11 Working Principle

• In order to measure temperature, DHT11 uses a thermistor also known as NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) temperature sensor.
• A thermistor is simply a variable resistor, which changes its resistance with respect to the temperature.
• A thermistor is made up of sintering of semiconductors in order to provide a large change in its resistance with the small changes in temperature.
• NTC means the resistance decrease with the increase in temperature.
• I have provided a visual display of the relation between temperature and resistance for the DHT11 sensor, shown in the below figure:

• For humidity sensing, DHT11 uses a capacitive humidity sensor.
• The humidity part consists of two electrodes having moisture-holding substrates in between them.
• As the humidity level changes, the resistance between both of the electrodes or conductivity also changes correspondingly.
• This change in conductivity or resistance is estimated and processed by an internal IC.
• I have also provided the visual description of humidity sensing using DHT11 sensor, as given in the figure shown below.

DHT11 Temperature Sensing Characteristics

• The temperature sensing characteristics of the DHT11 sensor are listed in the below table:

DHT11 Humidity Sensing Characteristics

Introduction to LM117

Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely and having fun. Today, I am going to give a detailed discussion on Introduction to LM117. Lm 117 is basically a voltage regulator. It is most commonly known as positive (+ve) voltage regulator used to regulate the voltage up to the desired positive level. Lm-117 can regulate the voltage ranging from 12.5V to 37V and provides the current around 1.5A. LM 117 has three (3) pins and is quite easy to use. To obtain the desired output voltage we need to connect the two external resistors. There are three types of regulations in LM-117 i.e. line regulation, fixed regulation and load regulation. The line regulation & load regulation both are far better than fixed regulation. LM 117 provides overload protection e.g. over current protection, thermal load protection etc. When Adjust terminal is not enable even then LM 117 provides all of these protections. We can improve its transient response by adding an external capacitor at output terminal. High ripples can be rejected through bypassing the adjustment terminal. LM-117 can also be used as a precise current regulator, if we add an external constant resistor between its output terminal and the adjustment terminal. LM 117 has a lot of features including short circuit protection, wide temperature range, ripplerejection up to 80dB. Its real lide applications are battery chargers, constant current regulators, automatic LED lightning etc. The further detail about LM 1117 will be given later in this tutorial.
