To get the timing correct on the DHT sensor, the Trinket is clocked to 16 MHz (same as the Arduino Uno) in the first line in the setup() routine. This requires the 5V Trinket as the 3 volt Trinket is not guaranteed to function at 16 MHz. This also limits use to Trinket and not Gemma.
The code:
/*
Demonstration sketch for Adafruit LCD backpack
using MCP23008 I2C expander and DHT Temperature/Humidity Sensor
Uses the 5 volt Trinket mini microcontroller with the
Trinket set at 16 MHz due to timing reading the DHT sensor
This sketch prints the temperature and humidity to the LCD
The circuit:
* 5V to Arduino 5V pin
* GND to Arduino GND pin
* Display i2c backpack CLK to Trinket GPIO #2
* Display i2c backpack DAT to Trinket GPIO #0
* DHT Temperature Sensor to Trinket GPIO #1 (with 1K ohm pullup to 5V)
// Connect DHT pin 1 (on the left) of the sensor to +5V
// Connect DHT pin 2 of the sensor to whatever your DHTPIN is
// Connect DHT pin 4 (on the right) of the sensor to GROUND
// Connect a 1K resistor from pin 2 (data) to pin 1 (power) of the sensor

The above code compiles to 4,760 bytes of 5,310 available. This leaves 550 bytes of code if you wish to add additional functionality. Note that adding display text will use the available space quickly. Also, if you use decimal (floating point) numbers, you will most likely exceed the space available. The Arduino IDE built-in functions to do floating point math are somewhat large (this is why the DHT library was edited to create the TinyDHT library: to use integer math, which limits precision to one degree and one percent but saves space).
