embedded-dht-rs
embedded-dht-rs
is a Rust library designed to simplify interfacing with DHT sensors in embedded systems.
This library is #![no_std]
and depends only on embedded_hal
, making it versatile and compatible with virtually any microcontroller.
Support for DHT11, DHT20, and DHT22 Sensors: All three sensors are fully implemented and ready for use.
The library has been tested with the ESP32-WROOM, and a detailed example is provided below to help you get started.
Getting Started
Tutorials
Here are some general tutorials that provide brief introductions to embedded programming:
- Part 1 (Introduction) - Introduction to Embedded Systems with Rust: A Beginner's Guide Using ESP32
- Part 2 (LED + Button) - Building a Simple LED and Button Interface with Rust on ESP32
- Part 3 (DHT11 Library) - Building a Rust library for DHT11 sensor
Install
To include the dht11
feature:
cargo add embedded-dht-rs --features "dht11"
To include all features (dht11
, dht20
, and dht22
):
cargo add embedded-dht-rs --features "dht11,dht20,dht22"
Example - ESP32

Implementation Specification
We have gathered all the information you need to understand in order to implement a library like this. Additionally, we’ve included a few comments in the code for those curious about the details, based on the following specification.
The DHT20 differs from the DHT11 and DHT22 because it uses the I2C communication protocol, while both the DHT11 and DHT22 rely on a single-wire signal for data transmission.
