Raspberry Pi Forums

[img][/img]Hi, i wired up the sensor power on pin 1, data on gpio4 (pin 7) and ground to pin 6 with jump wires,
installed the code following the adafruit tutorial (http://learn.adafruit.com/dht-humidity- ... re-install)
, but i am already stuck by trying to get the test temerature in the command line; all i get is : using pin4
and then everything hangs... any ideas?
I would appreciate any help, i am totally new at these things.
got stuck here: all i get is using pin 4
and everything hangs...

try another pin

Tried pin 11 (gpio 17) but same result .. or no result. Is there another way besides the adafruit tutorial to check for eadings out of the sensor?

Nobody any idea?

have you made all necesarry setup needed?

what do you mean by the setup? i followed the tutorial of adafruit.
greets

I ment all modules needed to be loaded and all the software needed to be installed.

I followed this link exactly :
http://learn.adafruit.com/dht-humidity- ... re-install
"$ git clone git://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code.git
$ cd Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code
$ cd Adafruit_DHT_Driver
Then run
sudo ./Adafruit_DHT type pin#
For example, we'll have an AM2302 connected to GPIO #4 so we'll run
sudo ./Adafruit_DHT 2302 4"
the program is starting, and writes using pin #4 then it hangs..

I tried with installing the wiringPi module and program and all i get is
Data not good, skip
Is it possible a new sensor is broke?

Check the wiring.



Red wire to physical PIN #1 (3V3)
Green wire to physical PIN #11 (GPIO #17)
Black wire to physical PIN #6 (GND)

Run your Adafruit python program with
sudo ./Adafruit_DHT 2302 17
if that doesn't work try
sudo ./Adafruit_DHT 2302 11

I tried different pin numbering as you suggested, it is working now. Thanks everyone!

I'm also having the same problem, But the above mentioned solution not working for me. Is anybody there to help??
