Detect temperature, humidity, heat index, atmospheric pressure and altitude unsing a DHT11 sensor and a BMP180 sensor on an arduino uno
DHT
- digital humidity and temperature sensor
- This bad boy detects the humidity and temperature.
- humidity between 20% and 90%.
- temperature between 0°C and 50°C.
- temperature resolution 1°C.
- between 3 to 5.5 V.
- if the connexion cable is < 20 m, add a 5K pull-up resistor.
- sampling period = 1 second.
- ...see datasheet for pinning
BMP
- barometric pressure sensor
- The BMP180 sensor is able to detect barometric pressure, altitude and temperature.
- pressure range 300 to 1100 hPa.
- pressure resolution 0.01 hPa.
- between 1.8 to 3.6 V. (do not connect to the 5V on the board otherwise it will fry the sensor)
- temperature resolution 0.5°C. (more precise than the DHT so use this one for measuring temperature)
- SDA = serial data bus (I2C)
- SCL = serial clock input bus (I2C)
