"Sensor not ready," meaning #31
Description
Hi, I've been trying to get readings from a DHT11 sensor using the DHTNew library and am consistently running into a problem.
When trying the sketch dhtnew_test, the 0.2.0 version returns "Timeout_error", and the version 0.3.3 returns "Sensor not ready," from what I understood this means the sensor does not return fast enough for the code to get readings. I've used a 5.1k Ohms pull-up resistor (as the datasheet recommends), as the cables are less than 20 meters long (just a few cm long in fact). I've tried using both an analog and digital pin, the results are the same. The sensor is lit red though, so I assume it is correctly powered and grounded.
I don't know what may be going wrong or how to interpret this returned error, should I try to modify the code or is the problem coming from the connections ?
