# DHT20
|
|
|
|
Arduino library for I2C DHT20 temperature and humidity sensor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The library must be initiated by calling the **begin()** function,
|
|
or **begin(dataPin, clockPin)** for **ESP32** and similar platforms.
|
|
|
|
Thereafter one has to call the **read()** function to do the actual reading,
|
|
and with **getTemperature()** and **getHumidity()** to get the measured values.
|
|
Calling these latter again will return the same values until a new **read()** is called.
|
|
|
|
The **read()** call of this sensor is blocking for 80+ milliseconds (datasheet 7.4)
|
|
so the library also has a asynchronous interface. See below.
|
|
|
|
Verified to work with Arduino UNO and ESP32.
|
|
|

|
## Connection
|
|
|
|
Always check datasheet

Examples verified to work with Arduino UNO and ESP32.

## Interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Constructor
|
|
|
|
- **DHT20(TwoWire \*wire = &Wire)** constructor, using a specific Wire (I2C bus).
|
|
- **bool begin(uint8_t dataPin, uint8_t clockPin)** begin for ESP32 et al, to set I2C bus pins.
|
|
- **bool begin()** initializer for non ESP32. Returns true if connected.
|
|
- **bool isConnected()** returns true if the address of the DHT20 can be seen on the I2C bus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Core
|
|
|
|
- **int8_t read()** read the sensor and store the values internally.
|
|
It returns the status of the read which should be 0.
|
|
- **float getHumidity()** returns last Humidity read.
|
|
- **float getTemperature()** returns last Temperature read.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Offset
|
|
|
|
- **void setHumOffset(float offset)** set an offset to calibrate (1st order) the sensor.
|
|
- **float getHumOffset()** return current offset, default 0.
|
|
- **void setTempOffset(float offset)** set an offset to calibrate (1st order) the sensor.
|
|
- **float getTempOffset()** return current offset, default 0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Asynchronous interface
|
|
|
|
Note the async interface is not 100% functional yet.
|
|
Expect functional complete in 0.2.0.
|
|
|
|
There are two timings that need to be considdered,
|
|
- time between requests = 1000 ms
|
|
- time between request and data ready.
|
|
|
|
The async interface allows one to continue processing whatever after a **requestData()** has been made. Note that there should be at least **1000 milliseconds** between subsequent requests.
|
|
|
|
After **DHT20_ACQUISITION_TIME == 85 ms** enough time after the request has
|
|
passed to read the data of the measurement. So the sensor can be read with **readData()**.
|
|
|
|
To interpret the read bits to temperature, humidity and status one needs to call **convert()** as last step.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **int requestData()** signals the sensor to make a new measurement.
|
|
Note there must be at least 1000 milliseconds between requests!
|
|
- **int readData()** does the actual reading of the data.
|
|
- **int convert()** converts the read bits to temperature and humidity.
|
|
|
|
See the example **DHT20_async.ino**
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Status
|
|
|
|
- **uint8_t readStatus()** forced read of the status only.
|
|
- **bool isCalibrated()** idem, wrapper around **readStatus()**
|
|
- **bool isMeasuring()** idem, wrapper around **readStatus()**
|
|
- **bool isIdle()** idem, wrapper around **readStatus()**
|
|
- **int internalStatus()** returns the internal status of the sensor. (debug ).
|
|
|
|
| status bit | meaning |
|
|
|:------------:|:---------------------------|
|
|
| 7 | busy making measurement |
|
|
| 6 - 4 | unknown |
|
|
| 3 | 1 = calibrated, 0 is not |
|
|
| 2 - 0 | unknown |
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Timing
|
|
|
|
- **uint32_t lastRead()** last time the sensor is read in milliseconds since start.
|
|
- **uint32_t lastRequest()** last time a request is made to make a measurement.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
- comments in .h file
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
- check TODO's in code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### could
|
|
|
|
- improve unit tests.
|
|
- investigate
|
|
- sensor calibration (website aosong?)
|

|
|
#### won't
|
|
|
|
- **void setIgnoreChecksum(bool = false)** ignore checksum flag speeds up communication a bit
|
|
- **bool getIgnoreChecksum()** get status. for completeness.
