As the air or gas temperature drops its ability to absorb water vapour drops until it becomes completely saturated and below this dew point temperature water droplets will start to form.
Dew point sensor arduino.
In this tutorial i ll first go into a little background about humidity then i ll explain how the dht11 measures humidity.
Dew point sensor for measuring trace humidity in gases within a measurement range of 80 c dp to 20 c dp.
Dht11 sensor humidity sensor connection of wire.
Having both temperature and humidity sensor capabilities in a single package makes the htu21d an ideal sensor for a home weather station.
Here is my setup using only one dht11 humidity sensor.
Select arduino nano board.
In degrees celsius but seen on the display with a different symbol to avoid confusion with the temperature feature.
The assembly of these components is very easy.
The dew point is the lowest temperature that allows water vapour to remain in a gas without condensing to a liquid state.
Select atmega328p old bootloader processor 5v to vcc gnd to gnd lcd 16x2.
Protoboard optional 2 assembly.

A dew point greater than 20 c 68 f is considered uncomfortable and greater than 22 c 72 f is considered to be extremely humid.
Measuring trace humidity in gases.
But before we can get carried away we.
A higher dew point indicates more moisture in the air.
As such if you re a person who is interested in knowing the current weather conditions you ll probably want to know what the dew point is too.

The dht11 humidity and temperature sensor make it really easy to add humidity and temperature data to your diy electronics projects.
Further on you can learn about details of relative humidity heat index and dew point the example shown further down shows you how to use the dht22 in your own arduino sketches.
Dew point sensor np330 g.
Frost point is the dew point when temperatures are below freezing.
Check humidity temperature and dew point with arduino uno with dht11 sensor through serial monitor.
These sensors are relative humidity sensors with a built in temperature sensor which allows the humidity reading to be more accurate see table below for accuracy of the device.
