            \"DHT11<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

            The DHT11 and DHT22 sensors are used to measure temperature and relative humidity. These sensors contain a chip that does analog to digital conversion and spits out a digital signal with the temperature and humidity. This makes them very easy to use with any microcontroller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
