Last revision 2025/12/20
This article offers a comprehensive guide on using Arduino with a DHT22 sensor for measuring temperature and humidity. It includes software preparation, a wiring diagram, and sample code to ensure accurate sensor readings, providing a practical resource for electronics enthusiasts.
Software Preparation
Please download the Library of DHT22 at first.
Wiring Diagram

Sample Code
#include <dht.h>
dht DHT;
#define DHT22_PIN 7
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("DHT TEST PROGRAM ");
Serial.print("LIBRARY VERSION: ");
Serial.println(DHT_LIB_VERSION);
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Type,\tstatus,\tHumidity (%),\tTemperature (C)");
}
void loop()
{
Serial.print("DHT22, \t");
int chk = DHT.read22(DHT22_PIN); //读取数据
switch (chk)
{
case DHTLIB_OK:
Serial.print("OK,\t");
break;
case DHTLIB_ERROR_CHECKSUM:
Serial.print("Checksum error,\t");
break;
case DHTLIB_ERROR_TIMEOUT:
Serial.print("Time out error,\t");
break;
default:
Serial.print("Unknown error,\t");
break;
}
Serial.print(DHT.humidity, 1);
Serial.print(",\t");
Serial.println(DHT.temperature, 1);
delay(1000);
}
