MicroPython ESP32 Tutorial - Interfacing DHT11 Sensor

In this MicroPython ESP32 Tutoria - Interfacing DHT11 Sensor, we will use the MicroPython code on MakePython ESP32 and DHT11 Humidity Temperature Sensor.

1. Overview

2. DHT11 Humidity Temperature Sensor

3. Interfacing DHT11 Sensor with ESP32 using MicroPython Code

4. MicroPython Code for ESP32 with DHT11 Sensor

from machine import Pin
from time import sleep
import dht
 
sensor = dht.DHT11(Pin(5))
 
while True:
  try:
    sleep(2)
    sensor.measure()
    t = sensor.temperature()
    h = sensor.humidity()
    print('Temperature: %3.1f C' %t)
    print('Humidity: %3.1f %%' %h)
  except OSError as e:
    print('Sensor Reading Failed')

5. Monitor DHT11 Humidity Temperature Data on OLED with MicroPython Code

6. ESP32 DHT11 OLED Display MicroPython Code
