Humidity/Temp Sensor Issues

[Dean]

Mine was doing the same thing when I had it plugged into my laptop while viewing the serial monitor. Once I connected it to my Gateway and into Vera, all is working. I got really frustrated at this, but it just seemed like it wanted to be connected to something first.
Sorry, probably not much help, but thought I would share my experience.

Perhaps your minis are 3.3v 8 Mhz and you selected 5v 16 Mhz in the IDE?

[FUZNUTS]

these are all 5.5v 16mhz or at least that's what they say..lol
ill try leaving it set up on the gateway and see what happens with fingers crossed

When you apply voltage to the RAW pin, do you get 5v out of Vcc?

[FUZNUTS]

@Salmoides 5v regulated into raw comes out 4.52v on vcc

@FUZNUTS

have you tried to put a cap on the DHT's Vcc and ground??

[FUZNUTS]

@BulldogLowell Yes. I put one 4.7uf for the radio and one for the DHT22 with no change. Over two days I did get it to read the DHT22 once out of 1000 or so reads and that was with out any capacitors.. Reading every 5 seconds

I have a similar problem with a pack of 10 pro mini 3,3v bought at the ebay link from mysensor ?
But every think is ok with pro mini 5.5v ...
I tried many things but it still do not work ?
Other people with same problem ?
Ideas ?
Thinks

Only problem with humidiy sensor or a more general problem?

Googling 3.3v dht22 giver a lot of results. E.g.

Problem with dht22 and ds18b20.
It looks likes a programmation beceause i just switch from arduino pro 3.3 to a 5.5 on my mys1.1 board and it works fine.
Or it s really a problem of manufacturing ...

I've a sensor running with naked 328p, 3.3V, 8 MHz internal Osz and DHT22. Maybe I'm lucky?!
