## Temperature and humidity sensor

### Import Model

import dht      #Sensor's module
from machine import Pin

### DHT object

Create it and refers to the Pin

#setting data pin and creating sensor object 
sensor =dht.DHT11(Pin(2))

To measure and read the sensor

sensor.measure()
sensor.temperature()
sensor.humidity()

### Code

import dht      #Sensor's module
from machine import Pin
from time import sleep


#setting data pin and creating sensor object 
sensor =dht.DHT11(Pin(2))



while True:
    try:
        
        #maximum sampling rate
        sleep(1)
        
        #Get information from the sensor
        sensor.measure()
        
        #save reading 
        temperature=sensor.temperature()
        humidity=sensor.humidity()
        
        print(f'Temperature is : {temperature} C ')
        print(f'Hunidity is : {humidity} %% ' )

    except OSError as e:
        print('Failed to read')
