Displaying temp and humidity on LCD

General
#1

I have a DHT22, a DS18B20 and a 16x2 lcd connected. Set it up through circuito and downloaded code. Tests run fine but I would like to display the temps and humidity on the screen. Do I need to add another tab to the code? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey,

After you got circuito.io test code and tested that everything works, you need to modify the code in order to print real-time data on the LCD.
To do so you can:

locate the DHT22 and DS18B20 test codes.
replace ‘Serial.print’ with ‘lcdI2c.print’ - it needs to be in the same format as the LCD test code structure.
after doing so, run the DHT22/DS18B20 test code - you should see the data printed on the LCD.
play around and modify the code some more to match your needs. you can use the LCD test code as a good reference.

Good luck :slight_smile:

Hi TH1RTE3N,
This link will help you https://chrisruppel.com/blog/arduino-humdity-temperature-lcd/ :sunglasses: . I have also added some code don below for you, this code is directly from the website link above, Enjoy! :grinning:
#include <SimpleDHT.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

// Initialize humidity sensor.
const int pinDHT11 = 6;
SimpleDHT11 dht11;

// Initialize LCD
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

// Setup LCD and display startup message
void setup() {
// Display is two 16-char rows
lcd.begin(16, 2);

// Print a startup message
lcd.print(“Startup OK!”);
delay(1000);

// Clear display so we can show data
lcd.clear();
}

// Display temp/humidity data until power-down
void loop() {
// Create variables for DHT sensor output.
byte temperature = 0;
byte humidity = 0;

// Read sensor data and store results
// in temperature/humidity variables
dht11.read(pinDHT11, &temperature, &humidity, NULL);

// Print first line to LCD
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.print("Temp: ");
lcd.print(round(temperature));
lcd.print("C / ");
lcd.print(round(temperature * 1.8 + 32));
lcd.print("F "); // two extra spaces in case temps drop to single digits

// Print second line to LCD
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("Humidity: “);
lcd.print(humidity);
lcd.print(”% "); // extra space in case humidity drops to single digit

// Delay 1 second because DHT11 sampling rate is 1HZ.
delay(1000);
}

Anat
after all testing were good
but then the data to lcd
you give this advice
replace 'Serial.print’with ‘lcdi2c’
Shoul that not be ‘lcdI2C’
thanks
