DHT Humidity Sensing on Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black with GDocs Logging
Humidity and Temperature Logging From Your Pi or Beaglebone Black to the Cloud!
In this tutorial we'll be showing how to utilize a DHT sensor Python library based on C for high-speed GPIO polling to handle bit-banged sensor output. Many low cost sensors have unusual output formats, and in this case, a "Manchester-esque" output that is not SPI, I2C or 1-Wire compatible must be polled continuously by the Pi to decode. Luckily, the C GPIO libraries are fast enough to decode the output.
