Get Started in Electronics #9 - Using the DHT11 Humidity & Temp Sensor

Hello, 3D Printing and Electronics friends! Today we're going to see how to read humidity and temperature with the DHT-11 sensor!

In this series, we're using the Elegoo Uno Super Starter Kit. Want to buy an Elegoo Uno Super Starter Kit for yourself? You can pick one up here:

I recently bought the Elegoo kit and I've been watching this series religiously. The effort that you put into the wording and editing of these videos is evident, and I really appreciate it. I'm really looking forward to the next one!

I just want to say thank you for all of these amazing videos. It took me a while to catch up but I really enjoyed them and wish they kept going for more items in the "most complete" Elegoo kit I bought. Thanks a lot!

I am relatively new to electronics Bryan. Believe it or not your tutorial with coding is the first to make my sensor work properly, Soo happy. Great job.

An a beginner, I get the kit in Christmas from Santa and am following every lesson, this is very interesting.

[jomac_ph]

Awesome and straightforward, thanks man. Highly appreciated by a noob like me! I hope you're doing great these days.

I should have been doing these videos 4yrs ago when I started w/ my Uno. I'll say that it's much better watching yours than thinking about the production effort that goes into them.

Was looking all over for a simple video on this and came across your video . Thank you so much !!

[johnrelins]

such a big help thank you. I am just learning so I have found your videos easy to wach and follow

[thomasevans]

Hi there, Love your videos will you be adding the next lesson. Thank you so much! Helped me get started into electronics.

[johnagudelo]

Thank you so much for these videos. You are doing great at simplifying these videos and expanding on them for my kids and I to follow along

[duller]

Great helpful video thank you so much for making this

Hey Bryan,
I like how well you explain this and it is great basic knowledge that is so important to learn that you can do many fun projects.

A small tip for you and especially your viewers, for example I made a housing for one of my 3d printers where I use a DHT22 (slightly wider range) to measure the temperature, and a 200 watt light bulb to generate heat. When I want to print ABS or other difficult materials, I set the temperature for the inside of the case, and let the processor operate the light bulb, to control the temperature that way. This is a super easy way to achieve a perfect temperature of between 60 and 70 degrees in the housing around my printer. ABS prints have never been so beautiful.

Used materials, basically everything from this lesson and a simple solid state relay and a socket. Maybe a nice application to discuss in your lessons.

Greetings, and keep up the good work.

Very good and comprehensive tutorial I love your videos. Great job.

[sunscreen]

Please continue this series it’s taught me so much

[mateuszsoszynski]

Great video. Just got the super starter kit and your videos are so super useful for my studies. Thanks!

[tikav]

Awesome video! I eagerly await all the following videos. Could you make a video about using the fan in the kit? I want to use it for a project.

Who'd have thought you would be disseminating financial advice too 👍
