Using Sensors and The Serial Interface

The document outlines a training module focused on using sensors, specifically the DHT11 and DHT22 temperature and humidity sensors, with Arduino. It includes hands-on activities for connecting sensors, logging data, and building a temperature-based fan control system, along with learning goals related to data protocols and debugging. Homework involves creating a 'Comfort Monitor' and submitting data visualizations from the Serial Plotter.

Using Sensors and the Serial Interface

Topics Covered:

 What are sensors and how do they work?


 Working with DHT11 or DHT22 (temperature & humidity sensors)
 Using libraries in Arduino (introduction to third-party libraries)
 Installing and using the DHT sensor library
 Using the Serial Monitor and Serial Plotter for debugging and data visualization

Hands-On Activities:

 Connect and test a DHT11 sensor


 Log temperature and humidity every 5 seconds
 Display sensor data in the Serial Monitor and Plotter
 Build a simple temperature-based fan control system (concept)

Learning Goals:

 Gain experience using sensors with data protocols (e.g., one-wire)


 Practice using external libraries and reading documentation
 Apply sensor data in decision-making within a sketch
 Learn how to debug using real-time serial output

Homework / Practice:

 Create a “Comfort Monitor” that shows messages based on temperature/humidity range


 Submit a screenshot of Serial Plotter with 60 seconds of logged data
