AM2301 and OLED arduino example

In this example we will connect a AM2301 sensor to an Arduino and display the output on an 128×32 I2C OLED display

The AM2301  is a wired version of the DHT21, in a large plastic body.

Specifications:

• Type: AM2301
• Accuracy resolution: 0.1
• Measurement range: 0-100%RH
• Temperature measurement range: -40℃ ~ +80℃
• Humidity measurement precision: ±3%RH
• Temperature measurement precision: ±0.5℃

This Sensor has 3 wires, connect these wires to your Arduino like this

Sensor	Arduino
Red	+5V
Black	GND
Yellow	Digital I/O

OLED Connection

Connect Vin to 5V.
Connect GND to ground
Connect SDA to A4
Connect SCL to A5

 

Code

The code uses the adafruit library for the DHT11 and other variants

Library – https://github.com/adafruit/DHT-sensor-library

OLED library was from Adafruit

Libary – https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SSD1306
