DHT22 Temperature Sensor - ENGR 103 Capstone
This project involves using an ESP32 microcontroller board, a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor, and the Arduino IDE to build a temperature monitoring system. The ESP32 board is programmed using the Arduino IDE to read temperature data from the DHT22 sensor and display it on the Serial Monitor. Additionally, the system calculates and displays the lowest temperature, highest temperature, and average temperature over a specified interval. The project requires installing the necessary libraries, such as the Adafruit Sensor and DHT libraries, and setting up the correct pin connections. The code is uploaded to the ESP32 board using serial upload methods. By following the steps outlined in the project, users can successfully monitor temperature using the DHT22 sensor and ESP32 microcontroller. A thermistor isn't required because the DHT22 already has a different form of collecting the temperature. The project's code ran over three hours to produce the results.
