Arduino UNO DHT22 Humidity 99.9

Other Hardware Sensors
5

Just today I tried the one on the main page of DHT22 arduino.cc

And yes I use the following library .h and .cpp

Here is the example code I used;

dht DHT;

#define DHT22_PIN 7

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("DHT TEST PROGRAM ");
  Serial.print("LIBRARY VERSION: ");
  Serial.println(DHT_LIB_VERSION);
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println("Type,\tstatus,\tHumidity (%),\tTemperature (C)");
}

void loop()
{
  // READ DATA
  Serial.print("DHT22, \t");
  int chk = DHT.read22(DHT22_PIN);
  switch (chk)
  {
    case DHTLIB_OK:  
		Serial.print("OK,\t"); 
		break;
    case DHTLIB_ERROR_CHECKSUM:

		break;
  }
  // DISPLAY DATA
  Serial.print(DHT.humidity, 1);
  Serial.print(",\t");
  Serial.println(DHT.temperature, 1);

  delay(1000);


    // READ DATA
  Serial.print("DHT21, \t");
  chk = DHT.read21(DHT21_PIN);
  switch (chk)
  {
    case DHTLIB_OK:

  }
  // DISPLAY DATA
  Serial.print(DHT.humidity, 1);
  Serial.print(",\t");
  Serial.println(DHT.temperature, 1);

  delay(1000);

  // READ DATA
  Serial.print("DHT11, \t");
  chk = DHT.read11(DHT11_PIN);
  switch (chk)
  {

// HISTORY:
// 0.1.09 optimize size: timeout check + use of mask
// 0.1.08 added formula for timeout based upon clockspeed
// 0.1.07 added support for DHT21
// 0.1.06 minimize footprint (2012-12-27)
// 0.1.05 fixed negative temperature bug (thanks to Roseman)
// 0.1.04 improved readability of code using DHTLIB_OK in code
// 0.1.03 added error values for temp and humidity when read failed
// 0.1.02 added error codes
// 0.1.01 added support for Arduino 1.0, fixed typos (31/12/2011)
// 0.1.0 by Rob Tillaart (01/04/2011)
