Summary

  • The DHT22 is a low-cost temperature and humidity sensor.

  • It uses a custom single wire bus which is not compatible with the 1-Wire bus.

  • Its asynchronous protocol is easy to implement directly in user space.

  • A very simple checksum is used to detect errors.

  • It is possible to implement the protocol as defined in the datasheet using a PIO by using counting loops to time each pulse.

  • A better use of the PIO is to notice that the protocol can be decoded by testing the state of the line a fixed time after the rising edge.
