DHT22 / RHT03

[Worcester]

Been trying to get the RPi to read the output from the DHT22 using the ciruit and code here:
http://learn.adafruit.com/dht-humidity- ... cs-logging

However I'm getting nothing back from the port, I've posted infor on the RPi forum, ( http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 37&t=15755 ) however still waiting for answers.

1) Yes I have a Pull up resistor in Place,
2) Yes I have an Oscilloscope,

Using the code in
$ sudo ./Adafruit_DHT, the responce I get back is:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code/Adafruit_DHT_Driver $ sudo ./Adafruit_DHT 22 4
Using pin #4
Data (0): 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0

Here are the oscillsope traces:

So clearly the pin goes low and then comes back up high, though the routine doesn't appear to pul back the data

I've tried different pins - no different, and I;ve tried other routines to do other things using the same pin and they work OK.

I've tried 5V and linked both pins 3 and 4 to gnd (see comments here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10167 )

Any ideas?

Thanks, Worcester

I'm having the same issue with the AM2302. Glad I'm not alone. I've found no solution to this problem yet.

Ditto,

I've been running this thing in a loop (sleep 3 seconds before polling), and in the last 5 minutes it's answered me maybe twice.. what gives??

Found the solution at the bottom:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 5&p=179399

basically it involves changing the timing 100 to 500000 and recompiling. It's still not working 100% (e.g. it still returns 0 data) but it's like non-responsive once in 20 times instead of it working once every 20 times

How did you recompile it?

When I try I get:

Code: Select all

gcc -c -o Adafruit_DHT.o Adafruit_DHT.c -std=c99 -I. -lbcm2835
Adafruit_DHT.c:24:21: fatal error: bcm2835.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Adafruit_DHT.o] Error 1


I can't seem to find bcm2835.h

EDIT: found it, google hides this page quite well - http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/index.html
