Sensor Data – Troubleshooting 1

Status

Well that did not take long.  I got my fist failure with the LED status indicators and only the green light is lit which narrows it down to only one line; “DHT22.acquire();”  Now I need to dig deeper into this library.  Its been a while since I checked the code there may even be an updated version.

Sensor Data – Part 2

So I have been neglecting my temperature and humidity sensor.  I haven’t had it in my filament box because the battery does not last long enough and it occasionally hangs up.  I am attempting to address the latter first.  I added 4 more leds (total of 5) to try to find where in the code it is hanging.

Here is the new config:

And the code:


// This #include statement was automatically added by the Spark IDE.
#include "idDHT22/idDHT22.h"
#include ;

// declaration for DHT11 handler
int idDHT22pin = D4; //Digital pin for comunications
void dht22_wrapper(); // must be declared before the lib initialization

// DHT instantiate
idDHT22 DHT22(idDHT22pin, dht22_wrapper);

char message[75]={0};
//char shortmessage[62] ={0}; //events have a limit of 63 bytes
String rmessage = "";
String smessage="";
double Humidity =0;
double degF = 0;
double degC = 0;
double DewPoint = 0;
double DewPointSlow = 0;
int result;
int greenled = 5;
int redled = 3;
int orangeled = 2;
int yellowled = 1;
int blueled = 0;

void setup()
{

	pinMode(greenled, OUTPUT);
	pinMode(redled, OUTPUT);
	pinMode(orangeled, OUTPUT);

	pinMode(blueled, OUTPUT);
	
	Spark.variable("message", &message, STRING);
	//Spark.variable("Humidity", &Humidity, DOUBLE);

	//Spark.variable("degC", &degC, DOUBLE);
	//Spark.variable("DewPoint", &DewPoint, DOUBLE);
	//Spark.variable("DewPointSlow", &DewPointSlow, DOUBLE);
}
// This wrapper is in charge of calling
// mus be defined like this for the lib work
void dht22_wrapper() {
	DHT22.isrCallback();
}
void loop()
{

	digitalWrite(greenled, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  
 
 
	//Serial.print("\nRetrieving information from sensor: ");
	//Serial.print("Read sensor: ");
	//delay(100);
	DHT22.acquire();
	digitalWrite(redled, HIGH);
	while (DHT22.acquiring());
	
	digitalWrite(orangeled, HIGH);
	result = DHT22.getStatus();
	switch (result)
	{
