If you're in search of Arduino projects for beginners, in this video we will learn how to use a DHT11 temperature an humidity sensor - a great starting point for anyone. I will begin by explaining all the components needed for this Arduino project and an introduction to the DHT11 Sensor. There is another DHT series sensor and that is the DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor. The DHT22 is slightly larger, more accurate, and more expensive. The DHT11 sensor I am using is smaller, accurate enough for anything we have planned, cheaper, and comes on a breakout board for convenience. This DHT11 sensor breakout board only has 3 pins; VCC, data, and ground. You will find that it is easy to set up. We also use the 1602A LCD module to display the sensor data. We have used this module before with arduino projects, so I don't go too much into detail about it. There is a link above to a previous LCD module video.
Getting started with projects using Arduino component may have it's challenges but in the end you will see how useful it can be. Some applications for a temperature and humidity sensor include: HVAC, dehumidifier, testing and inspection equipment, consumer goods, automotive, automatic control, data loggers, weather stations, home appliances, humidity regulator, medical and other humidity measurement and control.
Don't forget to use your LiquidCrystal.h and DHT.h libraries when coding the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor in the Arduino IDE. I intended for this Arduino video to be for beginners and hope you you find it helpful and easy to follow.
