      hello,

      May be you have the Delay DHT in your first data and not me.

      In the parse data function :

          def __parse_data_pull_up_lengths(self, data):
              STATE_INIT_PULL_DOWN = 1
              STATE_INIT_PULL_UP = 2
              STATE_DATA_FIRST_PULL_DOWN = 3
              STATE_DATA_PULL_UP = 4
              STATE_DATA_PULL_DOWN = 5
      
              state = STATE_INIT_PULL_UP
      
              lengths = [] # will contain the lengths of data pull up periods
              current_length = 0 # will contain the length of the previous period
      
              for i in range(len(data)):
      
                  current = data[i]
                  current_length += 1
      
                  if state == STATE_INIT_PULL_DOWN:
                      if current == 0:
                          # ok, we got the initial pull down
                          state = STATE_INIT_PULL_UP
                          continue
                      else:
                          continue
                  if state == STATE_INIT_PULL_UP:
                      if current == 1:
                          # ok, we got the initial pull up
                          state = STATE_DATA_FIRST_PULL_DOWN
                          continue
                      else:
                          continue
                  if state == STATE_DATA_FIRST_PULL_DOWN:
                      if current == 0:
                          # we have the initial pull down, the next will be the data pull up
                          state = STATE_DATA_PULL_UP
                          continue
                      else:
                          continue
                  if state == STATE_DATA_PULL_UP:
                      if current == 1:
                          # data pulled up, the length of this pull up will determine whether it is 0 or 1
                          current_length = 0
                          state = STATE_DATA_PULL_DOWN
                          continue
                      else:
                          continue
                  if state == STATE_DATA_PULL_DOWN:
                      if current == 0:
                          # pulled down, we store the length of the previous pull up period
                          lengths.append(current_length)
                          state = STATE_DATA_PULL_UP
                          continue
                      else:
                          continue
              return lengths
      

      try to put the state variable to STATE_INIT_PULL_DOWN at the begining of the function :

       state = STATE_INIT_PULL_DOWN

          hello,
          @robmarkcole
          Ok it's not good because you have only 39 values (last line)
          it's seems that your module is slower than mine because the max value for length of 1 level is 4 and for me 5 (or it is the dht ) . What is exactly your Pycom Module ? frequency ? firmware ?

            Hi @Jurassic-Pork

            • it's a Wipy 2.0,
            • will check firmware tonight but only updated 2 days ago so presumably the latest,
            • how to check the frequency?

              try this :

              import machine
              import os
              machine.freq() # get the CPU frequency
              os.uname().release 
              

              for me :

               import machine                                                                                                      
               import os                                                                                                           
               machine.freq() # get the CPU frequency                                                                              
              160000000                                                                                                               
               os.uname().release

                  hello,
                  @robmarkcole have you still your problem ? the new firmware release v1.7.7.b1 have a new function pulses_get that can improve my DHT library.

                      put this code in the dht.py file and try a read2 in place of a read function. Show me the result (tuples and length) .

                          def read2(self):
                              #time.sleep(1)
                              # send initial high
                              #self.__send_and_sleep(1, 0.025)
                      
                              # pull down to low
                              self.__send_and_sleep(0, 0.019)
                              data = pycom.pulses_get(self.__pin,100)
                              self.__pin.init(Pin.OPEN_DRAIN)
                              self.__pin(1)
                              print(data)
                              #enable_irq(irqf)
                              bits = []
                              for a,b in data:
                              	if a ==1 and 18 <= b <= 28:
                              		bits.append(0)
                              	if a ==1 and 65 <= b <= 75:
                              		bits.append(1)
                              print("longueur bits : %d " % len(bits))
                              if len(bits) != 40:
                                  return DTHResult(DTHResult.ERR_MISSING_DATA, 0, 0)
                              print(bits)
                              # we have the bits, calculate bytes
                              the_bytes = self.__bits_to_bytes(bits)
                              # calculate checksum and check
                              checksum = self.__calculate_checksum(the_bytes)
                              if the_bytes[4] != checksum:
                                  return DTHResult(DTHResult.ERR_CRC, 0, 0)
                              # ok, we have valid data, return it
                              [int_rh, dec_rh, int_t, dec_t, csum] = the_bytes
                              if self.__dhttype==0:		#dht11
                                  rh = int_rh 		#dht11 20% ~ 90%
                                  t = int_t 	#dht11 0..50°C
                              else:			#dht21,dht22
                                  rh = ((int_rh * 256) + dec_rh)/10
                                  t = (((int_t & 0x7F) * 256) + dec_t)/10
                                  if (int_t & 0x80) > 0:
                                      t *= -1
                              return DTHResult(DTHResult.ERR_NO_ERROR, t, rh)
                      

                      PS : i have created a new branch in my DHT_pycom github repository (see at the end of my first message in this thread)

                        @Jurassic-Pork The good news is my DHT11 works fine with read(). However I think I bust my DHT22 at some point as reading no data from it. Will have to order another to test..!

                          @Jurassic-Pork I have an AMT2301/DHT21 sensor. Google says that it is similar to the DHT22 and should work with the same code. However, your library with DHT22 as the set sensor does not work.
                          Do you know anything about if the sensor is supported or are you planning to add it in the future?
