In this tutorial, we are going to make ESP8266 ESP-01 Web Server with DHT11 Sensor
In this tutorial, we are going to make a web server using “ESP8266 ESP01 and DHT11 Sensor”. The DHT11 is a low-cost yet effective temperature and humidity sensor. It makes it possible to estimate the temperature and humidity levels in the surrounding environment. . Additionally, the humidity levels range from 20% to 80%. Additionally, the sensor only requires a very low voltage range of three to five volts to function. It uses 2.5mA of current as well.
PCBWay commits to meeting the needs of its customers from different industries in terms of quality, delivery, cost-effectiveness, and any other demanding requests. As one of the most experienced PCB manufacturers in China. They pride themselves to be your best business partners as well as good friends in every aspect of your PCB needs.
The internal structure of the DHT11 sensor contains the thermistor and a humidity sensing element. The thermistor usually changes its resistance with the temperature change. Hence, the resistance decreases with the increase in temperature. On the other side, the humidity component has two electrodes that have a substrate between them. As the resistance gets changed, the conductivity of this substrate also gets changed.
