Questions

As we conclude, here is a list of questions for you to test your knowledge of this chapter's material. You will find the answers in the Assessments section of the book:

  1. Can you list two differences between a DHT11 and DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor?
  2. Why is the external 10kΩ pull-up resistor optional in our DHT11/22 circuit?
  3. Describe the basic electronic principle used with an LDR to measure light.
  4. How can you make an LDR more or less sensitive to certain lighting conditions?
  5. You have created an LDR circuit and calibrated the Python code. Now, you change the LDR and find that the voltages readings and in-code trigger point behave slightly differently. Why? 
  6. Why does placing two wires in water work as a basic moisture detector when used with a voltage divider and ADS1115 circuit?
