      hello,
      @robmarkcole
      look at this this timing for the AM2302 data acquisition :
      0_1496762177466_AM2302-Timing.png
      the acquisition begins when the start signal after 19 ms is put to level 1 :

      def read(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)
              # collect data into an array
              data = self.__collect_input()
      
          def __collect_input(self):
              # collect the data while unchanged found
              unchanged_count = 0
              # this is used to determine where is the end of the data
              max_unchanged_count = 100
              last = -1
              data = []
              m = bytearray(800)        # needs long sample size to grab all the bits from the DHT
              irqf = disable_irq()
              self.__pin(1)
      

      then we store the level values :

             for i in range(len(m)):
                  m[i] = self.__pin()      ## sample input and store value
      

      your samples data begin with a 1 and me with a zero (begining of the response signal)
      try to see if you have always a 1 for the first data.

        @Jurassic-Pork Appears to always start with 1..

          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
          

          Friendly, J.P

              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                                                                                                  
                  '1.6.12.b1'

                      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)

                                  # pull down to low
                                  self.__send_and_sleep(0, 0.019)
                                  data = pycom.pulses_get(self.__pin,100)

                                  self.__pin(1)

                                      t = (((int_t & 0x7F) * 256) + dec_t)/10
                                      if (int_t & 0x80) > 0:
                                          t *= -1

                          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?
