I have read countless forum posts, and spent hours trying to figure this out and cannot seem to get my DH22 AM2302 temperature/humidity sensor to work. Can someone familiar with this please have a look at my setup? I must be missing something simple? I have tried two different sensors thinking one was damaged.
Here is my connections:https://imagebin.ca/v/3yl8DleaaQ1Y
--I followed the adafruit tutorial (several times) and have run the example code "simpletest.py" and am getting the printout "'Failed to get reading. Try again!"

"""
A class to read relative humidity and temperature from the
DHT22 sensor. The sensor is also known as the AM2302.
The sensor can be powered from the Pi 3V3 or the Pi 5V rail.
Powering from the 3V3 rail is simpler and safer. You may need
to power from 5V if the sensor is connected via a long cable.
For 3V3 operation connect pin 1 to 3V3 and pin 4 to ground.
Connect pin 2 to a gpio.
For 5V operation connect pin 1 to 5V and pin 4 to ground.
The following pin 2 connection works for me. Use at YOUR OWN RISK.

Taking readings more often than about once every two seconds will

I am ready to give up, but thought I would see if someone has had similar issues.
Lastly, is there a sensor that is a little more user (inexperienced user) friendly for the raspberry pi?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
