DHT11 Sensor With E-Ink Display Module

Quickly and easily display your air’s temperature and humidity with a DHT11 sensor, an E-ink display module, and an Arduino Uno. This method will have an update on a 5-second loop so you get updated results continuously. Once you unplug the module, the last update will remain on the screen until you change the code or re-plug the display so it can update again (everlasting e-ink!)

What you’ll need
Hardware:
- E Ink Display module
- DHT11 Sensor
- Arduino Uno
- 2 x Breadboard
- Dupont wire
Software:
Hook-up the DHT11 and E-Ink Display to the Arduino



You can see in the picture above the E-Ink display module's pinout. Here are the connections you should make:
DHT11 > Arduino Uno
VCC > 3.3V
Data > A0
GND > GND
E-Ink Display > Arduino Uno
GND > GND (either is fine)
SDA > D11
SCL > D13
CS1 > D6
D/C > D5
3.3V > 5V
BS1 > D8
BU/Busy > D7
RES > RESET
Run the Example Code

Now that we're set up, let's run the example code you can get here. Remember to select the right PORT and BOARD in the tools tab.
Read the Output

After you upload the code you'll be able to see the data come up on the E-Ink display module and reset every 5-seconds while powered up. You can remove the power and retain whatever the last update showed for as long as you like!
