Hi, I am connecting Grove Temp & Hum Sensor to XBee Carrier + Wifi Bee, I am using the library in the Wiki and use the example like this :
but the result is :
==============
and then I tried to use another code :
and the result is :
=====
I tried another code again from here :
the result :
I was wondering that the cause is the I/O pin, in both code above they use pin 2 but when I googling around I found that the code is for DHT11 like this :
**broken link removed**
pin 1 = VCC
pin 2 = Signal/Data
pin 3 = NC/Not Connected
pin 4 = Ground
not a Grove like I am using :
**broken link removed**
that's why the codes above use pin 2, so I tried to change it to pin 5 as discribed in Xbee Carrier Wiki, although I am not sure that pin 5 means D5 and pin 6 means D6 Grove Connector:
**broken link removed**
and when I carefully look at the cable, everything is at the right place :
Cable Colour == Xbee Carrier == Grove Temp Hum
Yellow == D5 == SIG
White == D6 == NC
Red == VCC == VCC
Black == Ground == Ground
but the result is the same, timeout or communication failed
I also asked on "Question & Answer" section in Xbee Carrier product guide and Jacket Chueng answered :
anyone can give me some more detail what should I do? I am a newbie on Arduino and microcontroller, I just want to make a simple project and develop it later after this has been success.
#sorry for my bad english
Code:
// Example testing sketch for various DHT humidity/temperature sensors
// Written by ladyada, public domain
#include "DHT.h"
#define DHTPIN 2 // what pin we're connected to
// Uncomment whatever type you're using!
#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
//#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302)
//#define DHTTYPE DHT21 // DHT 21 (AM2301)
// Connect pin 1 (on the left) of the sensor to +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 10K resistor from pin 2 (data) to pin 1 (power) of the sensor
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("DHTxx test!");
dht.begin();
}
void loop() {
// 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();
float t = dht.readTemperature();
// check if returns are valid, if they are NaN (not a number) then something went wrong!
if (isnan(t) || isnan(h)) {
Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT");
} else {
Serial.print("Humidity: ");
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print(" %\t");
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(t);
Serial.println(" *C");

but the result is :

**broken link removed**
When using an RFBee, the following pinouts apply for using the arduino IDE
Pin 5 is the Grove connector for I/O - Yellow wire
Pin 6 is the Grove connector for I/O - White wire
and when I carefully look at the cable, everything is at the right place :
Cable Colour == Xbee Carrier == Grove Temp Hum
Yellow == D5 == SIG
White == D6 == NC
Red == VCC == VCC
Black == Ground == Ground
but the result is the same, timeout or communication failed
I also asked on "Question & Answer" section in Xbee Carrier product guide and Jacket Chueng answered :
Hi.You also need to add some code to the program,such as: pinMode(16, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(16, LOW).And more information you can refer to our wikiin 16 may need to be driven low to provide enough power to the I/O Grove [via mosfet].

anyone can give me some more detail what should I do? I am a newbie on Arduino and microcontroller, I just want to make a simple project and develop it later after this has been success.
