Problem controlling humidity and temperature sensor, DHT22

Im troubling to have my DHT22 read output.
I am using a Arduino Uno, and a Macbook

-I have connected:

  • Pin1 to 5v
  • Pin2 to digital 2
  • Pin 4 to GND

Between pin1 and pin2 there is a 4.7K resistant

The Serial Monitor error says
"Failed to read from DHT sensor!"

My code:
// Example testing sketch for various DHT humidity/temperature sensors
// Written by ladyada, public domain

#include "DHT.h"

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

// Uncomment whatever type you're using!
//#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302), AM2321
//#define DHTTYPE DHT21 // DHT 21 (AM2301)

// Connect pin 1 (on the left) of the sensor to +5V
// NOTE: If using a board with 3.3V logic like an Arduino Due connect pin 1
// to 3.3V instead of 5V!
// Connect pin 2 of the sensor to whatever your DHTPIN is
// Connect pin 4 (on the right) of the sensor to GROUND
// Connect a 4.7K resistor from pin 2 (data) to pin 1 (power) of the sensor

// Initialize DHT sensor.
// Note that older versions of this library took an optional third parameter to
// tweak the timings for faster processors. This parameter is no longer needed
// as the current DHT reading algorithm adjusts itself to work on faster procs.
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("DHTxx test!");

dht.begin();
}

void loop() {
// Wait a few seconds between measurements.
delay(3000);

// Reading temperature or humidity takes about 250 milliseconds!
// Sensor readings may also be up to 2 seconds 'old' (its a very slow sensor)
float h = dht.readHumidity();
// Read temperature as Celsius (the default)
float t = dht.readTemperature();
// 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(t) || isnan(f)) {
Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
return;
}

// Compute heat index in Fahrenheit (the default)
float hif = dht.computeHeatIndex(f, h);
// Compute heat index in Celsius (isFahreheit = false)
float hic = dht.computeHeatIndex(t, h, false);

Serial.print("Humidity: ");
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print(" %\t");
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(t);
Serial.print(" *C ");
Serial.print(f);
Serial.print(" *F\t");
Serial.print("Heat index: ");
Serial.print(hic);
Serial.print(" *C ");
Serial.print(hif);
Serial.println(" *F");
}

Problem controlling humidity and temperature sensor, DHT22

Do you REALLY think you can control the humidity or temperature by telling the sensor what humidity or temperature you want? Why do people write about controlling input devices?

Which DHT library are you using?

First of all: I am totally new to this.
Second: My English vocabulary isn't that good, when it comes to electronic.

No, i don not think I can decide what the temperature should be.
I have been locking for libraries online, and found this:

I dont quite understand how the libraries work, tho...

I suggest that you edit the DHT.h file and do this:

// Uncomment to enable printing out nice debug messages.
//#define DHT_DEBUG
