DHT11 with WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE

Wiring for the DHT11 temperature + humidity on the WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE (STM32F411CE, 3.3 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

DHT11 pin	Role	WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE pin	Notes
VCC	Power	3V3
DATA	One-wire data	B12 (PB12)	Needs a 10 kΩ pull-up (already on 3-pin modules; 3-pin module order varies, read the labels)
NC	Not wired to the board	not connected	Not connected
GND	Ground	G

Check before you power it on

Supply: 3.3 V from the 3V3 pin.

Test code (Arduino)

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

DHT dht(PB12, DHT11);

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

void loop() {
  delay(2000);
  Serial.print(dht.readTemperature());
  Serial.print(" C  ");
  Serial.print(dht.readHumidity());
  Serial.println(" %");
}

Arduino board: STMicroelectronics:stm32:GenF4:pnum=BLACKPILL_F411CE,usb=CDCgen,upload_method=dfuMethod. To upload over USB, hold BOOT0, press and release NRST, then release BOOT0 (DFU mode). An ST-LINK on the SWD pins also works.

Questions

Which WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE pins do I use for the DHT11?

VCC → 3V3, DATA → B12 (PB12), GND → G.

Does the DHT11 work with the WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE at 3.3 V?

Yes: the DHT11 runs at 3.3-5 V and the WeAct Black Pill STM32F411CE uses 3.3 V signals, so no level shifting is needed.

BoardPilot checks this wiring in 3D as you build it, and finds crossed or missing wires on the real board.
