Module 3.2: Temperature and Humidity Settings

Hi everyone, 

As you're aware, Module 3 has turned into a bit of a monster. To get all the information to you in a digestable format, we've broken it into six submodules which will each have their own page and discussion thread to manage questions that come up. Please use this thread to drop in all your questions about Module 3.2: temperature and humidity settings

Our new course directory will also help you navigate through all our the course content. 

Stay tuned for our updated module release schedule and plans for live events. Our events are going to take a different format going forward, likely picking up key discussions and challenges we're seeing pop up in the forum. We'll let you know more in coming days. 

Thanks! 

Steph 




An observation I made when first experimenting with DHT22 modules with a Raspberry Pi years ago that still seems true with Arduino and DHT11 sensors.  The first reading of the temperature and humidity always seems to be inaccurate for some reason, so my habit was to always read and throw away the first command as part of the device setup.

e.g.

28.10,49.00  <--  inaccurate
29.60,46.00
29.60,46.00
29.60,46.00
29.70,46.00
29.70,46.00
