i cant seem to get temp on line one and humidity on line two. it keeps overwriting itself(word wrap?)
what am i doing wrong ?

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11 , 12);
#include "DHT.h"

#define DHTPIN 2     // what digital pin we're connected to

#define DHTTYPE DHT11   // DHT 11

DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

void setup() {
 lcd.begin(16, 2);
  lcd.setCursor(1,1);

  dht.begin();
}

void loop() {
  // Wait a few seconds between measurements.
  delay(2000);

  float h = dht.readHumidity();
  // Read temperature as Celsius (the default)

  // Read temperature as Fahrenheit (isFahrenheit = true)
  float f = dht.readTemperature(true);

  // Check if any reads failed and exit early (to try again).
  if (isnan(h) || isnan(f)) {
    lcd.print("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
    return;
  }


  lcd.print("Humidity: ");
  lcd.print(h);

  lcd.print("Temperature: ");

  lcd.print(f);
  lcd.print(" *F\t");

}

You need to set the cursor position each time before you print the values, not just once at the start of the program.

i did try
lcd.setCursor(1,1);
lcd.print("Temperature: ");

lcd.print(f);
lcd.print(" *F\t");

but i only got humidity 33.00 on 2nd line

ok got it.
i thought lcd.setCursor(1,1); meant line 2, character 1. instead of character 1,line 2. thanx
