Measurement of temperature and relative humidity using DHT11 sensor and PIC microcontroller
|
|
Measurement and control of temperature and relative humidity finds applications in numerous areas. These days devices are available which have both temperature and humidity sensors with signal conditioning, ADC, calibration and communication interface all built inside them. The use of such smart sensors greatly simplify the design and reduces the overall cost. We discussed in past about Humidity and temperature measurements with Sensirion’s SHT1x/SHT7x sensors. These sensors are capable of measuring both temperature and relative humidity and provide fully calibrated digital outputs. While SHT1x/SHT7x are very accurate sensors, they are still expensive for hobbyists use. This articles discusses the DHT11 sensor which also provides calibrated digital outputs for temperature and humidity but is relatively lot cheaper than the Sensirion sensors. The DHT11 sensor uses a proprietary 1-wire protocol which we will be exploring here and implementing with the PIC16F628A microcontroller that will receive the temperature and humidity values from the sensor and display them on a 16×2 character LCD.
Interfacing DHT11 sensor with PIC16F628A
About DHT11 sensor
The DHT11 sensor comes in a single row 4-pin package and operates from 3.5 to 5.5V power supply. It can measure temperature from 0-50 °C with an accuracy of ±2°C and relative humidity ranging from 20-95% with an accuracy of ±5%. The sensor provides fully calibrated digital outputs for the two measurements. It has got its own proprietary 1-wire protocol, and therefore, the communication between the sensor and a microcontroller is not possible through a direct interface with any of its peripherals. The protocol must be implemented in the firmware of the MCU with precise timing required by the sensor.
DHT11 sensor comes in a single row 4-pin package
The following timing diagrams describe the data transfer protocol between a MCU and the DHT11 sensor. The MCU initiates data transmission by issuing a “Start” signal. The MCU pin must be configured as output for this purpose. The MCU first pulls the data line low for at least 18 ms and then pulls it high for next 20-40 ?s before it releases it. Next, the sensor responds to the MCU “Start” signal by pulling the line low for 80 ?s followed by a logic high signal that also lasts for 80 ?s. Remember that the MCU pin must be configured to input after finishing the “Start” signal. Once detecting the response signal from the sensor, the MCU should be ready to receive data from the sensor. The sensor then sends 40 bits (5 bytes) of data continuously in the data line. Note that while transmitting bytes, the sensor sends the most significant bit first.
"Start" and "Response" signals
The 40-bit data from the sensor has the following structure.
Data (40-bit) = Integer Byte of RH + Decimal Byte of RH + Integer Byte of Temp. + Decimal Byte of Temp. + Checksum Byte
For DHT11 sensor, the decimal bytes of temperature and humidity measurements are always zero. Therefore, the first and third bytes of received data actually give the numeric values of the measured relative humidity (%) and temperature (°C). The last byte is the checksum byte which is used to make sure that the data transfer has happened without any error. If all the five bytes are transferred successfully then the checksum byte must be equal to the last 8 bits of the sum of the first four bytes, i.e.,
Checksum = Last 8 bits of (Integer Byte of RH + Decimal Byte of RH + Integer Byte of Temp. + Decimal Byte of Temp.)
Now lets talk about the most important thing, which is signalling for transmitting “0” and “1”. In order to send a bit of data, the sensor first pulls the line low for 50 ?s. Then it raises the line to high for 26-28 ?s if it has to send “0”, or for 70 ?s if the bit to be transmitted is “1”. So it is the width of the positive pulse that carries information about 1 and 0.
Timing difference for transmitting "1s" and "0s"
Start, Response and Data signals in sequence
At the end of the last transmitted bit, the sensor pulls the data line low for 50 ?s and then releases it. The DHT11 sensor requires an external pull-up resistor to be connected between its Vcc and the data line so that under idle condition, the data line is always pulled high. After finishing the data transmission and releasing the data line, the DHT11 sensor goes to the low-power consumption mode until a new “Start” signal arrives from the MCU.
Circuit diagram
Here is the circuit diagram showing the DHT11 sensor and a HD44780-based character LCD interfaced to the PIC16F628A microcontroller. The microcontroller runs at 4.0 MHz clock using an external resonator connected between OSC1 (16) and OSC2 (15) pins. The use of 4.0 MHz clock makes the timing calculation easier as 1 machine cycle becomes 1 ?s. The timing information will be used to calculate the width of the received data pulse from the sensor so that we could identify if it is carrying a 1 or 0.
Circuit connections for PIC16F628A and DHT11 sensor
The following pictures show the circuit setup on a breadboard. Don’t get confused with the four LEDs and tact switches shown on the perforated board. They have nothing to do with this project. They are there because I am using my DIY Experimenter’s I/O board for the LCD part of this project. Similarly, I am using my 18-pin PIC16F board for easy prototyping with the PIC16F628A microcontroller.
Complete setup of the circuit
PIC16F628A module and the DHT11 sensor are plugged into the breadboard
Software
Writing a software for DHT11 sensor is little more challenging than the hardware part because of the timing conditions for 1s and 0s. I have written sub-routines in mikroC Pro for PIC for initializing the DHT11 sensor and reading the 40-bit of data in sequence. I have used Timer2 module to keep track of the width of the received data pulse, which is required to identify if the received bit is 1 or 0. When a low-to-high pulse is detected at the beginning of any data bit, TMR2 is cleared and turned ON. Since the clock frequency used here is 4.0 MHz, the TMR2 increments by 1 in every 1 ?s. The TMR2 is stopped whenever the data pulse is low again. The value of the TMR2 register gives you the the width of the data pulse in ?s. I am using 40 ?s as the threshold for identifying 0 and 1. If the TMR2 is greater than 40, it means the received bit is 1, else it is 0. Here is the complete source code written in mikroC Pro for PIC. It can be easily adapted to any other platform, but remember that if you are using a different clock frequency you should have to modify the timer operation accordingly.

You can also simplify the ReadByte subroutine without using the Timer2 module. The following version of ReadByte subroutine works equally well. Once the data pin is detected high, wait for 40 ?s and check the data line again. If it is still high, it is 1, else 0.
unsigned short ReadByte(){
unsigned short num = 0, t;
DataDir = 1;
for (i=0; i<8; i++){
while(!Data);
Delay_us(40);
if(Data) num |= 1<<(7-i);
while(Data);
}
return num;
}

Output
The accuracy of DHT11 is not as good as Sensirion’s SHT1X/7X series sensors, but it provides an easy and cheap solution to hobbyists for measuring relative humidity and temperature in parallel using a single device, which is sometime required in certain applications such as calculating the dew point.

The integration of humidity and temperature sensors into the same device has not only reduced the costs but also allowed for greater convenience in usage and transport of the device into the fields.
Thanks for you , you are creative

I am PIC hobbykits.I am thinking how if I just want the LCD to display temp C and humidity % in 3 seconds and then put the LCD into Sleep mode until the PIC16F628A wake up by pin 4 MCLR reset for power saving purpose.What addition source code need to add to the above programming code.Please advice.Thanks.
Thanks for sharing this, It saved me a lot of time. I had two sensors bought at dx.com, a pic16f628a and an old 4.33619 mhz crystall laying around build this :). Modified the code so that it also sends the strings over the uart. I’ve got an old kobo glo ereader with a broken screen which collects the data and sends it to my stbox from which i read it with my phone so i don’t have to go down to the cellar to check 😀

Can anyone tell me why ADC is not working if I use DHT11 in the other pin of PIC16F877A ?
DHT11 is connected with RB7 of PIC16F877A. And I need to measure an analog voltage.
Note: 1. both sensors are at a separate board. And these sensors(DHT11 & Thermistor) are connected via a IDE connector.
2. The analog measurement(for Thermistor) and Digital measurement(for DHT11) have time gap in measurement period. I mean if Analog voltage is measured at 00.20 min, Digital is measured at 01.20min, then another 1.00 min gap.
3. TMR2 is used for DHT11 data calculation.
4. DHT11 is working well but the ADC is not working.
5. For DHT11 the code posted in this page is used. Just I changed the input @ RB7.
*** Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

Hi I have the code working now. When I checked at Serial monitor the values of Checksum and the added values of the temperature and RH reading, they’re always equal even when the result is “Checksum Error” so the data from the sensor were consistent. I tried to put this line
((RH_Byte1 + RH_Byte2 + T_Byte1 + T_Byte2) & 0xFF)
in a variable before putting it in the conditional statement and now it works! I’ve tested it the whole night at a freezer and no “Checksum error” results now. Thanks!
I’m using PIC18F26K22 @8MHz but I first tried your code at 4MHz. (I just adjusted the value compared to variable “num” from 40 to 80 when I used 8MHz. I also observed that the sensor needs to initialize for about 3 minutes before it give me stable results then after a while it will display “Checksum errors” (sometimes more than 15 readings with that result then back to normal again). I’ve tried to use the arduino code but didn’t gave me correct result. Maybe I’ve done something wrong with this.
Hi Raimonds Thanks a lot for the code, I was able to make it work in MikroC Pro using 8MHz Xtal Oscillator. But I have a problem now regarding the consistency of the sensor or the code. From time to time it gives me a “Checksum Error” result when either of these happens:
a) I hold the sensor with my hand
b) when the temperature rises to about 30 degrees Celcius
c) when the temperature drops to about 10 degrees Celcius
I will be using this as a freezer monitor so the temperature could go up to negative values. I’ve used the same sensor in arduino with the dht Tester library and it worked fine even at negative temperature and even when i hold the sensor. I have 5 DHT22 here and gives me the same result in PIC.. what could be the reason/s for having inconsistent reading?
Anyway sorry for my late reply I was also out for a vacation so I was not able to try the code.
Thanks

In This homepage the problem with symbol replacement. make changes to the code and delete my comments over the past;)
and line if (CheckSum == ((RH_Byte1 + RH_Byte2 + T_Byte1 + T_Byte2) & 0xFF))
correct code is:
if (CheckSum == ((RH_Byte1 + RH_Byte2 + T_Byte1 + T_Byte2) & 0xFF))
maybe it is a problem for some users 😉
RB in code this line is wrong 😉 if(TMR2 > 40) num |= 1<<(7-i); correct code is : if(TMR2 > 40) num |= 1<<(7-i);
Try connect a LED throught 1K resistor between minus and dada pin DHT22 withought disconecting DHT22, if Led blinking every 2 seconds thus interrupts and timers of work. I do not osciloscope, I took the RHT03 Data sheet. If everything is as I wrote then try to watch or not connected to the DHT22 damaged or of poor quality wire. I do not need a long cord, I use the computer’s CD-ROM audio cable.
The scheme was built by the example which is higher, but the resonator is normal with 22 p capacitors on the negative. Resonator 4 MHz, but I tried without the external with the internal 4 Mhz everything worked perfectly. To use the internal resonator to make changes to the configuration line of code.Line nr. 11. I was not available in ceramic resonator with 3 outlets. Maybe you have a problem with interrupts or timers? Read a carefully PIC data sheet.
Hello RB I was using same crystal 4Mhz also
Hi there RB, Ive tried using pic16f877a using portb.0 but It saya no rresponse from sensor, tried to check the signalresponse from scope and found that the sensor was responding because there were pulses displayed on the scope from the output of the sensor, what must be the problem, hope you’ll have time to assist thanks.
What clock frequency are you using? The code here was written for 4.0 MHz.

Hi, Thank you for the sample code. I’m also using DHT22 (I don’t have DHT11 for now) and PIC18F26K22. I’ve been struggling for days to figure out what’s the problem (always says no response) and the latest about this is that after the Sensor pulled LOW the signal (After the Start Signal from PIC), it remains LOW for more than 80us and maybe even not getting High at all because I tested it with LED and disabled the interrupt to see if at least it gets high. I’ve checked it using the Logic analyzer of PICkit 2 and I can see the correct signal and data from the sensor from there. May I know if there’s someone who already made this using DHT22? I used 4MHz XTAL.
If Replace DHT11 to DHT22, meter no corectly working
video:
We need to make many changes to the program since the DHT22 sensor has a different protocol.
datasheet:
RHT03 protocol equal to DHT22
Here is my result:

Hello, can you help me setting the RA1 port as digital output? please
Ok problem solved. Got a logic analyzer to check the wire. Because of the 7.37MHz the delays werent calculated correctly. Now im using a PIC with 8MHz and the DHT responses.
I don’t have a DHT11 laying around here :(. Only two of the 22s.
Ok till you get yours i keep on trying ^^.
Hello!
I have a DHT22 and the read out routine is almost the same. So with the
help off the source code posted here i came up with the following source code, to read the sensor data with a PIC24HJ128GP502 with a 7.37MHz clock.
http://pastebin.com/cmX7Ehpb — source code
I tried waiting times from 1ms-25ms for the start signal from the MCU but i dont get any positiv response from the sensor. It seems like it pulls the bus low after the start signal is send but after that it just stays high and sends no data.
A 4.7k resistor is connected between Vdd and Data but with and without makes no difference.
Already tried yesterday all day long but i just cant find anything. And i dont have an oscilloscope here ;(
So any advise is highly appreciated. Thanks alot!!
Kind regards,
otti
@otti,
I haven’t really tried it with DHT22 but I did have ordered one which I will receive in a week or so. I will try it and let you know the results. But it should work if it works with DHT11. Have you tried your software with DHT11?
What should i do to make it work with pic16f877a ?? Thanks
Hello, how can i Add a system that if for example, the temp is > 35 C, a Buzzer is activated, or a led is turned on?
Thanks.
friend tried to put to work with 7-segment display consergui not more, as you have put some example
Raj! On my version, i have added 2 oC to the temperature, to make the temperature right.. is it a good idea?
thank you!

How to change the code for sensor am2302 ?
hi,now i’m using MPLab IDE v8.84 and PIC18f8720. do you have any version can be run in it.
>>i’m student ,and this is a part of senior project.
can you help me? thanks.

Use T_Byte1 and RH_Byte1 variables to compare with your thresholds to activate RA1 and RA2. Something like, if(T_Byte1 > 22) then RA1 = 1 else RA1 =0;
hello i’m trying active one port, if Temperature > =22°C active RA1
if Humidity >= 80% active RA2
i’m trying but i don’t know where are this values to compare and active the RA1 and RA2 , anyone can help me ?
Hello I’m trying to get the value that the sensor shown in the LCD and trigger an output of the MCU is not being used, example
if the sensor reading a temperature> 22 ° C trigger RA1
if the sensor reading a RH> 80% triggers RA1
but I do not know how to do this, please help me
hi,do u hv any version can be run in Mplab C18, 18F4520. Thanks
hi, im using mplab ccs c compiler. i followed the code correctly but they kept saying “Error 128 “DHT11.c” Line 10(1,1): A #DEVICE required before this line.” i understand its a header file tats missing. how do i solve this problem?
Thanks RB. Now I understand
Can someone explain this section of code to me?
message1[7] = T_Byte1/10 + 48;
I understand the T_Byte is the temp in C. Why the divide by 10 adn then add 48?
Paul,
You divide T_Byte1 by 10 to get the tens digit, and T_Byte%10 gives the units digit of the temperature. You add 48 to convert it into equivalent ASCII character so that you could display it on character LCD. The ASCII code for 0 is 48, for 1 is 49, for 2 is 50, and so on.
Great article, very well presented – thanks! I translated the code to compile under CCS C compiler on PIC16C887 on an OLIMEX board and it works fine.
why delete my previous comment?
i followed ur coding and everything correctly,even with the 4Mhz oscillator,and yet i still get black square are 2nd line,any idea?
What type of programmer are u using? I cnt program into the pic using pickit2.
PICKit2 should be able to program PIC16F628A.
Nice description for using a DHT11 and PIC microcontroller. What do you use with the measurements of temperature, relative humidity and dew point? From the measurement can you read if it’s rainy/dry/cloudy/sunny? Doe this mean that the preferred location to place the sensor is outdoors?
Which compiler are u using? This coding compatible for mplab ide c18 or not? and which programmer are u using? i want to program into pic18f4520 using pickit2.
I used mikroC Pro for PIC compiler.
Hi,you use what software to debug n build? isit mplab or microC pro? Does it work in MPLAB?
MikroC
Problem solved, faulty resonator.
Hello
I have built this circuit and when I power it up, the LCD display shows
“No response from sensor”. What could be the problem.
Thanks
Hey friends, i am trying to do the same project. But, it is always showing No Response From sensor. Which resonator type you are using. Plz let me know.
