Frequently Asked Questions

What is the I2C address of the DHT20 sensor module?

The DHT20 sensor has a fixed I2C address of 0x38 (hexadecimal). This address is used for all communication with the microcontroller. Ensure your I2C bus does not have another device conflicting with this address.

What is the operating voltage range for the DHT20 module?

The DHT20 sensor IC itself operates from 2.2V to 5.5V. The Elecrow Crowtail module is designed to be compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic levels, making it safe to use directly with Arduino (5V) and Raspberry Pi/ESP32 (3.3V) systems without level shifting.

Does the DHT20 require calibration before use?

No, the DHT20 is a fully calibrated digital sensor. The factory calibration data is stored internally, so the module provides accurate temperature and humidity readings immediately upon power-up without any user calibration required.

How does the DHT20 compare to the older DHT11 or DHT22 sensors?

The DHT20 represents a significant upgrade. It uses a digital I2C interface instead of a proprietary single-wire protocol, offering faster, more reliable communication. It also features improved accuracy, lower power consumption, better long-term stability, and a wider operating voltage range compared to the DHT11 and DHT22.
