Arduino with SSD1306 OLED and DHT11/DHT22 sensor

This post shows how to build a temperature and relative humidity measurements station using Arduino and DHT11/DHT22 sensor where the measured values of the temperature and the humidity are displayed on 128×64 OLED screen with SSD1306 driver. (OLED: Organic Light-Emitting Diode)

The SSD1306 OLED used in this post projects is configured to work in I2C mode, some SSD1306 OLED boards may require a small hardware modifications (to select between SPI mode or I2C mode) such as soldering, placing jumpers …. To see how to connect the SSD1306 OLED with Arduino read the post below:
Interfacing Arduino with SSD1306 OLED display

I used Adafruit SSD1306 OLED library to simplify the connection of the Arduino with the screen and Adafruit DHT library for the connection between the Arduino and the DHT11/DHT22 sensors. Both libraries can be downloaded through Arduino IDE Library Manager of manually from the links below (after downloading, unzip the folder and place it in Arduino libraries folder, for example C:\Program Files\Arduino\libraries)

Adafruit DHT library   —   direct link

We also need Adafruit graphics library:
