## Description
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The DHT22 is an often used sensor and many libraries are written for it
|
|
|
|
|
including my own https://github.com/RobTillaart/DHTNew library.
|
|
|
|
|
To better understand the protocol and to be able to debug my library
|
|
|
|
|
I wrote a simulator for the DHT sensors in 2014.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The simulator can be used to test applications to that use a DHT sensor,
|
|
|
|
|
e.g. to get high alarm temp or whatever.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Currently the code uses two analogue ports to get a value for temperature
|
|
|
|
|
and humidity. Just connect two potentiometers to play and simulate increase and
|
2021-01-29 06:31:58 -05:00
|
|
|
decrease of the temperature and humidity.

|
## 2022-11-01
|
|
|
|
|
- add RP2040 to build-CI
|
|
|
|
|
- update license
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-01-29 06:31:58 -05:00
|
|
|
## 0.2.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- added pin to trigger CRC errors
|
|
|
|
|
- added temp and hum pin for input for CI
|
2021-12-16 11:29:43 -05:00
|
|
|
- added pins for CRC error, pulse length error and timeout error
|
2021-01-29 06:31:58 -05:00
|
|
|
(to be tested in detail)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 0.2.0 version
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- added flag for random generation of data
|
|
|
|
|
- added flag for debug
|
|
|
|
|
- explicit support ESP32 & ESP8266
|
|
|
|
|
- added counter # samples generated per second ==> so one sees it still runs
|
|
|
|
|
- added error and debug messages // some commented
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The simulator is not tested extensively so please report bugs.

## Future
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) use the simulator-core as a bridge to other sensors.
|
|
|
|
|
Idea is to use the code of the simulator in combination with a
|
2021-12-16 11:29:43 -05:00
|
|
|
Sensirion or two separate sensors (DS18B20 + ? ) to provide an
|
2021-01-29 06:31:58 -05:00
|
|
|
accurate temperature and humidity. These could then be readable
|
|
|
|
|
with any DHT library with the performance of a DHT (~ 5ms).
|
|
|
|
|
(when time permits)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) implement a recorder mode, to be able to replay a certain
|
2021-12-16 11:29:43 -05:00
|
|
|
behaviour time after time.

|
## Operation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- adjust the pins in the head of the program to meet your setup
|
|
|
|
|
- compile, connect, run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And have fun.
