Greetings from the InputMakers team 🙂
Download your manual.
Choose your language and enjoy!
You will read in the manual that you need to install this library, download it here:
From here you can easily copy and paste the code to the Arduino IDE. (But try to understand it before 😀😀 )
In each manual you can find the code explained in the corresponding language.
/* InputMakers
Weather station.
Program to display on the LCD screen, the temperature and the relative humidity using the DHT11 sensor.
Instructions:
Install the different libraries needed as indicated in the manual.
Check the different connections in the manual's circuit diagram.
