capteur-dht11.py
The Adafruit CircuitPython driver runs on stock Linux: it bit-bangs the DHT 1-wire protocol through libgpiod. The script prints temperature and humidity every 2 s, shrugging off invalid frames without crashing.
Hardware
An ODROID-C4 (Amlogic S905X3, 4 Cortex-A55, 4 GB) running Armbian or Ubuntu Hardkernel, with gigabit Ethernet, an IR receiver and a 40-pin header. 1 DHT11/DHT22 sensor + 10 kΩ resistor (3-pin module: already built in).
Wiring
VDD to 3.3 V, DATA to the script pin (GPIO4) with a 10 kΩ pull-up to 3.3 V, GND to GND.
How it works
adafruit_dht drives the protocol through the kernel (use_pulseio=False): start pulse, microsecond timing, decoding. Periodic failures are normal on the DHT11.
Running it
On Armbian (mainline kernel): apt install gpiod python3-gpiod; the C4 exposes two chips, gpio and gpio_ao (gpiodetect) — the blue LED is also drivable via /sys/class/leds.
Variants
Log to CSV with the cron script, or expose readings over the network with the built-in web server on port 8080.
