WiPy and DHT22 issue
-
Hi all, Newbie here when it come to micropython so apologies in advance if there is something simple im missing.
Im attempting to connect a DHT22 to my WiPy on and expansion board 3.0 and have been unsuccessful with getting it to work
I have attempted to use the WiPy-2.0-DHT22 library from Erikdelange but when running the using_the_dht22.py file i keep getting the following errors
0 pulses measured
0 bits
[]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 59, in <module>
IndexError: list index out of rangeI presume the list index out of range error is thrown as there are no pulses being measured so an empty list. However i have no idea why im getting no pulses measured and what i'm doing incorrectly unless i have screwed up the wiring or there is something else i need to change in the code.
Picture of wiring setup.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
BN

@brewnut The RTS pin is not used by the firmware, but driven by the UAB/UART bridge. But you can also use another pin, like P6.
-
@frida thanks for this suggestion, I will give a go and report back. Any particular reason the RTS jumper is linked to P11. Should I try a different pin instead and leave the RTS jumper in place?
-
If you want to use 'P11' (G22), try removing the 'RTS' jumper as it is connected to 'program port'.
See: https://docs.pycom.io/.gitbook/assets/wipy3-pinout.png

@robert-hh Hi Robert i have just tried your code replacing 'P8' with 'P11' (thats actually what the yellow jumper wire is plugged into).
Noting happens when running this.
I also tried replacing the __dhttype = 0 with = 1 as reading over the DTH code notes it mentions the DHT 11 sensor is type 0 and DHT 22 sensor is type 1.
Changing these settings also results in noting happening when running.
:-(

@brewnut did you try to take my code example below and replace 'P8' by 'P12', which is your wiring?

This post is deleted!

@robert-hh no sorry I don’t have an Oscilloscope. Anything else I can do with the code to troubleshoot eg print out results at certain steps to see where it is failing?
-
@brewnut When you take the voltage at the data pin, it should be about 3.3V. Do you have to visualize the data signal, like with a logic analyzer or Oscilloscope?
-
Ok I have since added a one wire temp sensor to the board and got that working so have now come back to the dht22.
I am still getting the zero pulses received error so will look to see how I go debugging. Any tips would be appreciated.

@robert-hh thanks for this. I have also tried running this code from Jurassic Pork and i get nothing at all when i run it.
I have changed the pin to G22 so it matches my wiring for both sets of code.I will give the code from Daniel a go as well.
This is the code from Jurassic Pork
this is the DTH.py file

I presume this is because the result is not valid.

@brewnut Try this code. It works well for me. It should be in micrpython-lib, but I did not find it. Do not ask me why the class is DTH instead of DHT
