read temperature from DHT11, using pi4j
I'm trying to read temperature data from a DHT11 temperature sensor, using pi4j. I followed the code written in c and python in this site: http://www.uugear.com/portfolio/dht11-h ... or-module/ But it's not working. when I test the instruction 'dht11Pin.getState()' it's always in HIGH state, never changing. Is there anything wrong in my code?
Below is my code:
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;

public class DHT11 extends ObserveableComponentBase {
private static final Pin DEFAULT_PIN = RaspiPin.GPIO_04;
private static final int MAXTIMINGS = 85;
private int[] dht11_dat = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };
private GpioPinDigitalMultipurpose dht11Pin;
private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(DHT11.class
.getName());
public DHT11() {
final GpioController gpio = GpioFactory.getInstance();
dht11Pin = gpio.provisionDigitalMultipurposePin(DEFAULT_PIN,
PinMode.DIGITAL_INPUT, PinPullResistance.PULL_UP);
}
public DHT11(int pin) {
final GpioController gpio = GpioFactory.getInstance();
dht11Pin = gpio.provisionDigitalMultipurposePin(LibPins.getPin(pin),
PinMode.DIGITAL_INPUT, PinPullResistance.PULL_UP);
}
public double getTemperature() {
PinState laststate = PinState.HIGH;
int j = 0;
dht11_dat[0] = dht11_dat[1] = dht11_dat[2] = dht11_dat[3] = dht11_dat[4] = 0;
StringBuilder value = new StringBuilder();
try {
dht11Pin.setMode(PinMode.DIGITAL_OUTPUT);
dht11Pin.low();
Thread.sleep(18);
dht11Pin.high();
TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS.sleep(40);
dht11Pin.setMode(PinMode.DIGITAL_INPUT);
for (int i = 0; i < MAXTIMINGS; i++) {
int counter = 0;
while (dht11Pin.getState() == laststate) {
counter++;
TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS.sleep(1);
if (counter == 255) {
break;
}
}
laststate = dht11Pin.getState();
if (counter == 255) {
break;
}
/* ignore first 3 transitions */
if ((i >= 4) && (i % 2 == 0)) {
/* shove each bit into the storage bytes */
dht11_dat[j / 8] <<= 1;
if (counter > 16) {
dht11_dat[j / 8] |= 1;
}
j++;
}
}
// check we read 40 bits (8bit x 5 ) + verify checksum in the last
// byte
if ((j >= 40) && checkParity()) {
value.append(dht11_dat[2]).append(".").append(dht11_dat[3]);
LOGGER.info("temperature value readed: " + value.toString());
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
LOGGER.error("InterruptedException: " + e.getMessage(), e);
}
if (value.toString().isEmpty()) {
value.append(-1);
}
return Double.parseDouble(value.toString());
}
private boolean checkParity() {
return (dht11_dat[4] == ((dht11_dat[0] + dht11_dat[1] + dht11_dat[2] + dht11_dat[3]) & 0xFF));
}
}
Answer
I started with the original poster's java code, and replaced the com.pi4j.io.gpio package references with the com.pi4j.wiringpi package. I had recently installed the newest pi4j package and wiringpi version on my Raspberry Pi.
Using that package the Java code below works approximately the same as the c version of this program. I am getting about 80% - 85% accurate responses with a DHT-11. Which is about the same as I was getting using wiringPi in c.
package gpio;
import com.pi4j.wiringpi.Gpio;
import com.pi4j.wiringpi.GpioUtil;
public class DHT11 {
private static final int MAXTIMINGS = 85;
private final int[] dht11_dat = { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };
public DHT11() {
// setup wiringPi
if (Gpio.wiringPiSetup() == -1) {
System.out.println(" ==>> GPIO SETUP FAILED");
return;
}
GpioUtil.export(3, GpioUtil.DIRECTION_OUT);
}
public void getTemperature(final int pin) {
int laststate = Gpio.HIGH;
int j = 0;
dht11_dat[0] = dht11_dat[1] = dht11_dat[2] = dht11_dat[3] = dht11_dat[4] = 0;
Gpio.pinMode(pin, Gpio.OUTPUT);
Gpio.digitalWrite(pin, Gpio.LOW);
Gpio.delay(18);
Gpio.digitalWrite(pin, Gpio.HIGH);
Gpio.pinMode(pin, Gpio.INPUT);
for (int i = 0; i < MAXTIMINGS; i++) {
int counter = 0;
while (Gpio.digitalRead(pin) == laststate) {
counter++;
Gpio.delayMicroseconds(1);
if (counter == 255) {
break;
}
}
laststate = Gpio.digitalRead(pin);
if (counter == 255) {
break;
}
/* ignore first 3 transitions */
if (i >= 4 && i % 2 == 0) {
/* shove each bit into the storage bytes */
dht11_dat[j / 8] <<= 1;
if (counter > 16) {
dht11_dat[j / 8] |= 1;
}
j++;
}
}
// check we read 40 bits (8bit x 5 ) + verify checksum in the last
// byte
if (j >= 40 && checkParity()) {
float h = (float) ((dht11_dat[0] << 8) + dht11_dat[1]) / 10;
if (h > 100) {
h = dht11_dat[0]; // for DHT11
}
float c = (float) (((dht11_dat[2] & 0x7F) << 8) + dht11_dat[3]) / 10;
if (c > 125) {
c = dht11_dat[2]; // for DHT11
}
if ((dht11_dat[2] & 0x80) != 0) {
c = -c;
}
final float f = c * 1.8f + 32;
System.out.println("Humidity = " + h + " Temperature = " + c + "(" + f + "f)");
} else {
System.out.println("Data not good, skip");
}
}
private boolean checkParity() {
return dht11_dat[4] == (dht11_dat[0] + dht11_dat[1] + dht11_dat[2] + dht11_dat[3] & 0xFF);
}
public static void main(final String ars[]) throws Exception {
final DHT11 dht = new DHT11();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
Thread.sleep(2000);
dht.getTemperature(21);
}
System.out.println("Done!!");
}
