In this video I’m showing you the mLink DHT22 sensor is a serial (I2C/IIC) temperature and humidity sensor module. It adds the ability of your microcontoller/Arduino to measure temperature (in oC) and relative humidity (%RH) to 1 decimal place using only its I2C interface. It is compatible with other mLink or standard I2C modules allowing you to daisy-chain several different types of modules together using only the two I2C pins of your microcontroller.
To install the library on the Arduino IDE see our forum post here.
For Raspberry Pi use this page here.
Here’s a video showing how to install the library.
On the support forum here there’s a quick connection example.
I use the mLink DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor, a Hobby Components Uno Plus, and male to female dupont cables.
Here’s the video
Here’s the example sketch

VERSION: 1.0
AUTHOR: Andrew Davies
This sketch uses the mLink library to read the temperature (in oC) an humidity
(in RH%) from the mLink DHT22 sensor module (SKU: HCMODU0181).
Please see Licence.txt in the library folder for terms of use.

while(mLink.busy(I2C_ADD)); // Wait for the new measurement
float temp = mLink.DHT22_Temp(I2C_ADD); // Get the temperature in oC
float hum = mLink.DHT22_Hum(I2C_ADD); // Get the humidity in %RH
Serial.print("Temperature: "); Serial.println(temp);
Serial.print("Humidity: "); Serial.println(hum);
