DHT: Aosong DHT Digital-output Humidity and Temperature Sensor

Description

This sample application periodically (0.5 Hz) measures the ambient temperature and humidity. The result is written to the console.

Wiring

This sample uses an external breakout for the sensor. A devicetree overlay must be provided to identify the sensor variant and the GPIO used to control the sensor.

Building and Running

After providing a devicetree overlay that specifies the sensor location, build this sample app using:

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b nrf52dk/nrf52832 samples/sensor/dht
west flash
