hi,
please everyone, i have a question about using the dht11 sensor with the parola timemsg example. everytime that i try to compile i get an error that dht11 is missing. ive tried several
libraries and ive trying editting with notepad++ several different ways and the result is the same.
i wish to ask which version of the dht library and which IDE everyone is having success with?

the code
Arduino: 1.6.7 (Windows XP), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

im very sorry if its been answered before but i cannot find it myself.
ive tried search and reading the first seven pages of this particular post.
thank you for your hard work and time

The comments at the top of the .ino file includes the URLs for all external libraries.

thank you for quick answer!
ive tried to copy and paste the files and put in folder called dht11
(then i put copy library) but it still doesnt compile.yes i restarted the IDE also.
i will try again.

You should be putting all the libraries that you add (i.e., not system provided) in a folder called libraries in your sketchbook folder.

5

yessir i believe ive done that.
i will try to delete all files and start again.
attached is the current error generated

it seems as if i placed this in wrong place. can someone put in sensors part?

I used a different library that's more up to date. It seems as if I'm making progress
