 Introduction

 The DHT11 is a commonly used Temperature and humidity sensor

that comes with a dedicated NTC to measure temperature and an 8-bit
microcontroller to output the values of temperature and humidity as serial
data.

DHT11 Specifications

 Operating Voltage: 3.5V to 5.5V

 Operating current: 0.3mA (measuring) 60uA (standby)
 Output: Serial data
 Temperature Range: 0°C to 50°C
 Humidity Range: 20% to 90%
 Resolution: Temperature and Humidity both are 16-bit
 Accuracy: ±1°C and ±1%

 These sensors are very basic and slow, but are great for hobbyists who
want to do some basic data logging. The DHT sensors are made of two
parts, a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor.

 There is also a very basic chip inside that does some analog to digital
conversion and spits out a digital signal with the temperature and
humidity. The digital signal is fairly easy to read using any
microcontroller.

with MSP430 Launchpad and obtained output values of temperature
and humidity.
