Assignment 3: Connectivity of Raspberry Pi / Beagle Board circuit with
temperature sensor.
Problem Statement:-
Understanding the Connectivity of Raspberry Pi / Beagle Board circuit with
temperature sensor. Write an application to read environment temperature. If
temperature crosses a threshold value generate an alert using LEDs.
Components: Temperature Sensor DHT 11, LED, Raspberry Pi board, connecting
wires etc.

Software Setup
To start with update your package lists and install a few Python libraries :
1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev
Then clone the Adafruit library from their repository :
3. git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT.git
4. cd Adafruit_Python_DHT
Then install the library for Python 2 and Python 3 :
5. sudo python setup.py install
6. sudo python3 setup.py install
Hopefully at this point the library is installed and ready to be used within a
Python script.
Adafruit Example Python Script
Adafruit provide an example script that you can use to check your sensor is
operating correctly.
7. cd ~
8. cd Adafruit_Python_DHT
9. cd examples
python3 AdafruitDHT.py
The first is the sensor type so is set to “11” to represent the DHT11.
The second is the GPIO number “4” for GPIO4.
