DHT11 driver weird results

[spencerkoch]

can you post your code? iirc, the default is set up for the DHT22 and you
need to specify the DHT11 in the script

Either these results are very strange or it is 998 degree Fahrenheit in my
office. It uploads to my gspreadsheet just fine and I quadruple checked the
wiring. Any ideas? I used your C driver...I am going to start debugging but
just in case someone knows the answer already (always check cache first) I
thought I'd submit this query.

outstanding! I just finished making coffee and as I opened the Adafruit_DHT.c in nano your comment popped up. I used the default driver Adafruit_DHT.c and the only code changes I made were the username, password and spreadsheet in the python script which uploads the results to the gspread....I will see if i can find your channel in irc. Onward to victory!

I see the issue thanks! I was calling it with 2302 instead of 11
Here is what I was doing:
sudo ./Adafruit_DHT 2302 4

Here is what I should have been doing:
sudo ./Adafruit_DHT 11 4

Works perfectly! Well as perfectly as the DHT11 will get ya ;-)

Adafruit cache hit ratio is 100%
