Send DHT11 sensor data to TTN using Cubecell dev board HTCC-AB02

Hi everyone!

I am new to all of this so please be patient with me.

I successfully connected my CubeCell Dev Board Plus (HTCC-AB02) to the TheThingsNetwork (TTN). I also successfully got data from the DHT11 sensor locally using the AB02 board.

Now I want to send the data, from the DHT11 sensor to the TTN using AB02. What should I do? What should the code look like?

I have mostly used templates so far as I am not familiar with the Arduino code. Where can I learn to code this on my own?

#include “DHT.h”

#define DHTPIN GPIO1 // Digital pin connected to the DHT sensor
// Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 note: use pins 3, 4, 5, 12, 13 or 14 –
// Pin 15 can work but DHT must be disconnected during program upload.

// Uncomment whatever type you’re using!
#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
//#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302), AM2321
//#define DHTTYPE DHT21 // DHT 21 (AM2301)

// Connect pin 1 (on the left) of the sensor to +5V
// NOTE: If using a board with 3.3V logic like an Arduino Due connect pin 1
// to 3.3V instead of 5V!
// Connect pin 2 of the sensor to whatever your DHTPIN is
// Connect pin 3 (on the right) of the sensor to GROUND (if your sensor has 3 pins)
// Connect pin 4 (on the right) of the sensor to GROUND and leave the pin 3 EMPTY (if your sensor has 4 pins)
// Connect a 10K resistor from pin 2 (data) to pin 1 (power) of the sensor

// Initialize DHT sensor.
// Note that older versions of this library took an optional third parameter to
// tweak the timings for faster processors. This parameter is no longer needed
// as the current DHT reading algorithm adjusts itself to work on faster procs.
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
dht.begin();
Serial.println(“DHTxx test!”);

}

void loop() {
// Wait a few seconds between measurements.
delay(2000);

// Reading temperature or humidity takes about 250 milliseconds!
// Sensor readings may also be up to 2 seconds ‘old’ (its a very slow sensor)
float h = dht.readHumidity();
// Read temperature as Celsius (the default)
float t = dht.readTemperature();
// Read temperature as Fahrenheit (isFahrenheit = true)
float f = dht.readTemperature(true);

// Check if any reads failed and exit early (to try again).
if (isnan(h) || isnan(t) || isnan(f)) {
Serial.println(“Failed to read from DHT sensor!”);
return;
}

// Compute heat index in Fahrenheit (the default)
float hif = dht.computeHeatIndex(f, h);
// Compute heat index in Celsius (isFahreheit = false)
float hic = dht.computeHeatIndex(t, h, false);

Serial.print(“Humidity: “);
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print(” %\t”);
Serial.print(“Temperature: “);
Serial.print(t);
Serial.print(” *C “);
Serial.print(f);
Serial.print(” *F\t”);
Serial.print(“Heat index: “);
Serial.print(hic);
Serial.print(” *C “);
Serial.print(hif);
Serial.println(” *F”);
}
