Hi Guys Firstly - i apologise for this message because it feels like i am missing something very simple. I have correctly wired up a DHT22 to my micromite but the code in the example does not work. My test programme is a simple 2 liner ie humid 17, temp, humidity print temp, humidity The wiring is correct as per the example in the Micoromite notes Doesnt matter whether i am running it on PIC32MX470 or the 170F256, i get the same error when i run it ie > RUN [3] humid 17, temp, humidity Error : Unknown command Running micromite 5.05.01 Everything else on my circuit works so its not the circuit So can some wise person please point out my mistake? many thanks Alan |

No mistake. If you look in the firmware zip you'll find a folder called "Embedded C Modules" and in there you'll find an explanatory PDF called "Humid.pdf" TLDR; Humid was removed from the firmware around V5.03 (space considerations). Copy the below code into your prog (somewhere near the end is usual) to restore the HUMID statement. A warning: those DHT modules aren't terribly cracky, can be a pain to get working and long term the humidity sensor can become saturated giving false readings (atch, they all do if exposed to high humidity all the time, but DHT11/22 seem particularly bad and often not-recoverable). As things progress with your project, consider moving to something like the HTU21D which is a very robust I2C device (so no freaky one-off comms protocol) - a quick search on this forum turns up working code for it if you don't fancy the chore.

If you already have the DHT sensor you may as well get some use out of it. It is possible to get reasonable accuracy and life from the humidity sensor by reading it no more than once every 30 seconds. Internal heating seems to reduce its accuracy. Between reads the DHT sleeps minimizing heating and my experiments found 30S to be optimum. To extend its life dry it out by warming it to 50°C in dry air for at least 2 hours every few months. Another good one to look at is the AHT10. It's I2C and can be read with just Basic commands, no driver needed. AHT10 thread |
