ESP8266 + DHT... Temperature conversion

[jovosm]

In a sketch for ESP8266 + DHT, how to change temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

Hi jovosm,

Thanks for trying AskSensors. Could you please specify the ESP8266+DHT sketch do you use?

Thanks

It's example sketch how to connect ESP8266 and DHT sensor and how to connect to asksensor.com and see temperature and humidity.

jovosm,
You can convert the temperature from degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit just after reading it from the sensor and before sending it to the AskSensors cloud: by multiplying by 1.8 (or 9/5) and adding 32.

here is an example:

Code: Select all

 // Get temperature event and print its value.
  sensors_event_t event;  
  dht.temperature().getEvent(&event);
  if (isnan(event.temperature)) {
    Serial.println("Error reading temperature!");
  }
  else {
    // Update temperature and humidity
    myTemperature = (float)event.temperature;
    myTemperature = (float) (32 + myTemperature  * 9/5);
    Serial.print("Temperature: ");
    Serial.print(myTemperature);
    Serial.println(" C");
}

It works now.
Thank You!

Great!

Hi,

I am working with a DHT22 Humidity Temperature Sensor and an OLED screen on a Ether Ten.

I have the OLED wired exactly like the first example on the oled128-quickstart-guide page, using just the 7 pins required for the OLED not the SD

I initially used pin 4 for the DHT22, but could not get it to work..

When I move the DHT22 to pin 5 it does work.

Can anyone advise why it doesnt work on pin 4 ?

Is it because the OLED pin 6, MOSI is connected to ICSP 4 ?

Thanks

Sean

Hello,
Could you please provide the connection diagram of your DHT22 and Oled.
Thanks.
