# Post DHT 11 Data and Display on OLED In this project, you will use the **Antares Workshop Shield** on the Lynx-32 **Development Board** module. In this **Antares Shield Workshop**, there are temperature, humidity (DHT11), relay, LED and push button sensors. You will monitor the temperature and humidity according to the specified interval period. The results of the data sent by the sensors can be monitored through the Antares console and displayed on the OLED. ## Prerequisites The materials required follow the **General Prerequisites** on the previous page. If you have not prepared the requirements on that page, then you can visit the following page. {% content-ref url="../../general-prerequisites-esp32-wi-fi" %} [general-prerequisites-esp32-wi-fi](https://docs.antares.id/en/code-and-library-examples/esp32-wi-fi/general-prerequisites-esp32-wi-fi) {% endcontent-ref %} The additional materials specific to this project are as follows. 1.

Opening Sample Programme {% hint style="info" %} You can open the programme code in the Arduino IDE via **File > Examples > Antares ESP HTTP > Lynx32-Simple-Project > POST\_DATA\_DHT11\_OLED.** {% endhint %} The following is the **POST\_DATA\_DHT11\_OLED** example programme code. ```arduino // Library initialization #include // Load AntaresESP32HTTP library for connecting to the Antares platform #include "DHT.h" // Load DHT sensor library for reading temperature and humidity #include // Load OLED display library #define DHTPIN 14 // Define DHTPIN variable, pointing to pin 14 #define DHTTYPE DHT11 // Set DHT type to DHT11 #define SCREEN_WIDTH 128 // Define OLED screen width #define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64 // Define OLED screen height #define OLED_RESET -1 // Define OLED reset pin, set to -1 as it's not used #define SCREEN_ADDRESS 0x3C // Define OLED I2C address #define ACCESSKEY "YOUR-ACCESS-KEY" // Replace with your Antares account access key #define WIFISSID "YOUR-WIFI-SSID" // Replace with your Wi-Fi SSID #define PASSWORD "YOUR-WIFI-PASSWORD" // Replace with your Wi-Fi password #define projectName "YOUR-APPLICATION-NAME" // Replace with the Antares application name that was created #define deviceName "YOUR-DEVICE-NAME" // Replace with the Antares device name that was created const unsigned long interval = 10000; // 10 s interval to send message unsigned long previousMillis = 0; // will store last time message sent AntaresESPHTTP antares(ACCESSKEY); // Create an antares object for connecting to Antares DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE); // Create a dht object for the DHT sensor Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET); // Create a display object for the OLED screen void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); // Initialize serial communication with baudrate 115200 antares.setDebug(true); // Turn on debug mode. Set to "false" if you don't want messages to appear in the serial monitor // Reset WiFi cache before connecting WiFi.disconnect(); antares.wifiConnection(WIFISSID, PASSWORD); // Attempt to connect to Wi-Fi with the specified SSID and password dht.begin(); // Initialize the DHT sensor object if (!display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, SCREEN_ADDRESS)) { Serial.println(F("SSD1306 allocation failed")); // Check if the OLED is successfully initialized for (;;); } display.clearDisplay(); // Clear the OLED display display.setTextColor(SSD1306_WHITE); // Set text color to white display.setTextSize(1); // Set text size to 1 display.setCursor(0, 0); // Set cursor position to (0, 0) display.println(F("Temperature & Humidity")); // Display "Temperature & Humidity" text on the OLED display.display(); // Show the text on the OLED delay(2000); // Delay for 2 seconds } void loop() { // Check interval overflow if (millis() - previousMillis > interval) { previousMillis = millis(); float hum = dht.readHumidity(); // Read humidity value from the DHT sensor float temp = dht.readTemperature(); // Read temperature value from the DHT sensor if (isnan(hum) || isnan(temp)) { // Check if the sensor reading is invalid Serial.println("Failed to read DHT sensor!"); // If the reading is invalid, print an error message return; // Exit the loop function and wait for the next cycle } display.clearDisplay(); // Clear the OLED display display.setTextSize(1); // Set text size to 1 display.setCursor(0, 0); // Set cursor position to (0, 0) display.print(F("Temperature: ")); // Display "Temperature: " text on the OLED display.print(temp); // Display temperature value on the OLED display.println(F(" C")); // Display " C" (for Celsius) on the OLED display.print(F("Humidity: ")); // Display "Humidity: " text on the OLED display.print(hum); // Display humidity value on the OLED display.println(F(" %")); // Display " %" (for percentage) on the OLED display.display(); // Show the text on the OLED Serial.println("Temperature: " + (String)temp + " *C"); // Print temperature value to the serial monitor with "*C" format Serial.println("Humidity: " + (String)hum + " %"); // Print humidity value to the serial monitor with "%" format // Add variable data to the storage buffer in Antares antares.add("temperature", temp); antares.add("humidity", hum); // Send data from the storage buffer to Antares antares.send(projectName, deviceName); } } ``` ### 3. Set HTTP Parameters in Programme Code Change the HTTP Protocol parameters in the following variables **\*ACCESSKEY, \*WIFISSID, \*PASSWORD, \*projectName**, and **\*deviceName**. Adjust to the parameters in the Antares console. ```arduino #define ACCESSKEY "YOUR-ACCESS-KEY" // Replace with your Antares account access key #define WIFISSID "YOUR-WIFI-SSID" // Replace with your Wi-Fi SSID #define PASSWORD "YOUR-WIFI-PASSWORD" // Replace with your Wi-Fi password #define projectName "YOUR-APPLICATION-NAME" // Replace with the Antares application name that was created #define deviceName "YOUR-DEVICE-NAME" // Replace with the Antares device name that was created ``` {% hint style="info" %} The **\*Access key** parameter is obtained from your Antares account page. {% endhint %}

Access Key Location on Antares Account Page

{% hint style="info" %} The **WIFISSID** parameter is obtained from the name of the **Wifi / Hotspot** that is currently being used by you. for example in the image below. {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %} The **\*PASSWORD** parameter is obtained from the **WiFi password** you are currently using. {% endhint %} {% hint style="info" %} The parameters **\*projectName** and **\*deviceName** are obtained from the **Application Name** and **Device Name** that have been created in the Antares account. {% endhint %}

### 4. Compile and Upload Program Connect the **Lynx-32** with your computer and make sure the Communication Port is read. {% hint style="info" %} On Windows operating systems, checking can be done via **Device Manager.** If your **ESP8266 WEMOS D1R2** is read, the **USB-Serial CH340** appears with the port adjusting the port availability (in this case it reads **COM4**). {% endhint %}

Set up the **ESP32** board by clicking **Tools > Board > esp32 in the Arduino IDE**, then make sure the **ESP32** Dev Module is used. Select the port according to the communication port that is read (in this case COM4). The result will look like the following image.

After all the setup is complete, upload the programme by pressing the arrow icon as shown below. Wait for the compile and upload process to finish.

Image of the Verify and Upload icons in the Arduino IDE.

{% hint style="info" %} **The Tick icon** on the Arduino IDE is just the verify process. Usually used to C**ompile** the programme to find out whether there are errors or not. \ **The Arrow icon** on the Arduino IDE is the verify and upload process. Usually used to **Compile** the programme as well as Flash the programme to the target board. {% endhint %} If the programme upload is successful, it will look like the following image.

Arduino IDE page image after successful upload.

After uploading the programme, you can view the **serial monitor** to debug the programme. The **serial monitor** icon is shown in the following image.

Set the **serial baud rate** to 115200 and select BothNL & CR. The result will look like the following image.

{% hint style="danger" %} Make sure the **serial baud rate** matches the value defined in the programme code. If the **serial baud rate** is not the same between **the programme code** and **the serial monitor**, the ASCII characters will not be read properly. {% endhint %} ### 5. Check Data in Antares After uploading the programme successfully, then open the device antares page and see if the data has been successfully sent.

{% hint style="info" %} Data sent from the **Lynx-32 Development Board** with the HTTP protocol in the form of temperature and humidity variables. {% endhint %} Here's the data that OLED displays.
