| *DEPRECATED LIBRARY* Adafruit Python DHT Sensor Library | |
| ======================= | |
| his library has been deprecated! We are leaving this up for historical and research purposes but archiving the repository. | |
| We are now only supporting the use of our CircuitPython libraries for use with Python. | |
| Check out this guide for info on using DHT sensors with the CircuitPython library: https://learn.adafruit.com/dht-humidity-sensing-on-raspberry-pi-with-gdocs-logging/python-setup | |
| --------------------------------------- | |
| Python library to read the DHT series of humidity and temperature sensors on a | |
| Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black. | |
| Designed specifically to work with the Adafruit DHT series sensors ----> | |
| https://www.adafruit.com/products/385 | |
| Currently the library is tested with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4. It should | |
| work with Python greater than 3.4, too. | |
| Installing | |
| ---------- | |
| ### Dependencies | |
| For all platforms (Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone Black) make sure your system is | |
| able to compile and download Python extensions with **pip**: | |
| On Raspbian or Beaglebone Black's Debian/Ubuntu image you can ensure your | |
| system is ready by running one or two of the following sets of commands: | |
| Python 2: | |
| ````sh | |
| sudo apt-get update | |
| sudo apt-get install python-pip | |
| sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel | |
| ```` | |
| Python 3: | |
| ````sh | |
| sudo apt-get update | |
| sudo apt-get install python3-pip | |
| sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel | |
| ```` | |
| ### Install with pip | |
| Use `pip` to install from PyPI. | |
| Python 2: | |
| ```sh | |
| sudo pip install Adafruit_DHT | |
| ``` | |
| Python 3: | |
| ```sh | |
| sudo pip3 install Adafruit_DHT | |
| ``` | |
| ### Compile and install from the repository | |
| First download the library source code from the [GitHub releases | |
| page](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT/releases), unzipping the | |
| archive, and execute: | |
| Python 2: | |
| ```sh | |
| cd Adafruit_Python_DHT | |
| sudo python setup.py install | |
| ``` | |
| Python 3: | |
| ```sh | |
| cd Adafruit_Python_DHT | |
| sudo python3 setup.py install | |
| ``` | |
| You may also git clone the repository if you want to test an unreleased | |
| version: | |
| ```sh | |
| git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT.git | |
| ``` | |
