RaspberryPi Humidity and Temperature Sensor (obsolete)

Schematics
Remember that the Pi revisions have different pinouts! This will work for Revison 2, that is board revision 0004[1]
Configure the Pi
Update the OS
This not necessary, but generally a good idea.
apt-get update apt-get ugrade
Install missing packages
If you have already installed them, you can skip this step.
apt-get install bc apt-get install gnuplot
Install DHT11 driver
Since there seems to be no kernel module, do this:
wget http://www.open.com.au/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.17.tar.gz tar zxvf bcm2835-1.17.tar.gz cd ./bcm2835-1.17 ./configure make sudo make install
apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code cd ./Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code cd ./Adafruit_DHT_Driver make
Check setup
Check whether there is now our sensor device:
cd /sys/bus/w1/devices ls -1
10-000802ad5087[2] w1_bus_master1
See it's content (values):
cd 10-000802ad5087[3] cat w1_slave
39 00 4b 46 ff ff 03 10 9c : crc=9c YES 39 00 4b 46 ff ff 03 10 9c t=28562[4]
Code
This is how I read the device and generate a nice plot using GNUplot:

You might want to use a cronjob like this:

- ↑ This will differ, since this is the UID of my device.
