List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach a sketch or
copy the sketch code in too):
- Read values from the sensor in a loop:
dht.readHumidity()
ordht.readTemperature()
- Observe that values do not change at a frequency higher than 0.5Hz
It appears that this is due to an artificial ratelimit imposed by the DHT::read(...)
method. Specifically, MIN_INTERVAL
is hardcoded to 2000
for all types of sensors, which I assume is due to the DHT22's maximum read frequency of 0.5Hz. However, other sensors supported by this library, such as the DHT11, can read at a higher rate of 1Hz, so this value should instead be set based on the sensor type.
