Arduino BLE Temperature/Humidity Logger With DHT11 and IOS Display

In this project we will build a simple temperature/humidity data logger based on BlueDuino R2 and display on iOS. It's easy to build and keep small size.

Step 1: Materials

The BlueDuino Rev2 is an Arduino compatible microcontroller development board based on the ATmega32U4 IC with BLE module CC2540 built in.

1 x BlueDuino Rev2
1 x DHT-11 sensor, bought from eBay or Taobao
1 x LED power casing XS-621 56mm x 31mm x 20mm, bought from Taobao
1 x lithium battery, bought from eBay or Taobao
A Soldering iron
Some male pins

Step 2: Wires Together

Pinouts for DHT-11

Pin 1 VDD Power supply 3 - 5.5 V DC
Pin 2 DATA Serial data output
Pin 3 NC Not connected
Pin4 GND Ground

Wiring:

DHT11 BlueDuino
Pin 1 -> Vcc
Pin 2 -> 21
Pin 4 -> Gnd

I also soldering a male pins for plug the battery.

Wire battery red pin -> BlueDuino pin raw, battery black pin -> BlueDuino pin GND.

Note: Please check the battery wires.

Step 3: Arduino Setup and Sketch

The BlueDuino built-in a BLE module. The module can advertising as a iBeacon device. The below sketch will do these things.

Make the BLE module work as peripheral mode and keep advertising.
Set the proximity UUID to 06742A694C2C4359BBFE122D05B6DCBF in normal mode, set the major as the sensor id. We can monitor multiple sensor in same times without BLE connection.
Set the proximity UUID to E2C56DB5DFFB48D2B060D0F5A71096E1 when advertising temperature/humidity sensor data.
