DHT22 with Arduino Uno R3

Wiring for the DHT22 (AM2302) temperature + humidity on the Arduino Uno R3 (ATmega328P, 5 V logic), chosen with the same pin rules BoardPilot uses: default buses first, and no pins that are used for flash, USB, the debugger or booting.

Wiring

Check before you power it on

• Supply: 5 V from the 5V pin.

Test code (Arduino)

// Library: DHT sensor library (Adafruit)
#include <DHT.h>

DHT dht(2, DHT22);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  dht.begin();
}

void loop() {
  delay(2000);  // the DHT22 needs 2 s between readings
  Serial.print(dht.readTemperature());
  Serial.print(" C  ");
  Serial.print(dht.readHumidity());
  Serial.println(" %");
}

Arduino board: arduino:avr:uno.

Questions

Which Arduino Uno R3 pins do I use for the DHT22?

VCC → 5V, DATA → 2 (PD2), GND → GND.

Does the DHT22 work with the Arduino Uno R3 at 5 V?

Yes: the DHT22 runs at 3.3-5 V and the Arduino Uno R3 uses 5 V signals, so no level shifting is needed.
