This is an example for interfacing the microcontroller PIC16F887 with DHT22 (RHT03 – AM2302) digital relative humidity and temperature sensor with CCS C code and Proteus simulation.
Read DHT22 datasheet to understand what I’m going to do because every thing about the sensor is in its datasheet which can be downloaded from the following link:
DHT22 Datasheet
Required Components:
- PIC16F887 Microcontroller
- DHT22 or compatible Sensor
- 1602 LCD screen
- 10K Potentiometer
- 4.7K ohm resistor
- 0.1µF Ceramic capacitor (Optional but recommended)
- +5V Power source
- Breadboards
- Jumper wires
Interfacing PIC16F887 microcontroller with DHT22 digital sensor circuit:
In this example the internal oscillator of the microcontroller is used and MCLR pin is configured as a digital input pin (no clear circuit required).
PIC16F887 Microcontroller with DHT22 digital sensor C code:
This is the C code of our example, it has been tested with CCS PIC C compiler version 5.051.
