Not working in RPi3

[mmontes11]

start sensor read (type=11, pin=17).
*** timeout #2

I've checked wiring configuration with AdafruitDHT and it worked:

pi@raspberrypi:~/project/Adafruit_Python_DHT/examples $ ./AdafruitDHT.py 11 17
Temp=21.0* Humidity=80.0%

I've checked this issue as well:
#57

What's the problem? I'm going crazy

What sensor are you using? What pin convention following? BCM or WPi? From latter it's possible that you are reading from incorrect pin

[momenso]

most likely incorrect pin configuration.

[mmontes11]

I'm sure I have correct pin configuration but sometimes I got a timeout, I think the problem is a sensor problem.

BTW how can I configure a WPi approach ?

I'm facing the exact same issue on the same hardware. The Python access is working for me as well. It's even working when I use the rpio library directly accessing the sensor with an own algorithm (since it's error prone I wanted to switch to the lib).

#57 didn't fix my issue either.

[momenso]

Currently, there's no support for other GPIO library other than the standard BCM2835 library. If someone wants to give that a try feel free to contribute.

Same for me, wiring configuration is correct (tested with AdafruitDHT).
#57 didn't fix.

any news about it?

For me it is working on a RPI3 with BMC2835 and a DHT22
I am using this version: http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.52.tar.gz
Wired the DHT22 to Pin 11, GPIO 17 (so I pass 17 to the lib as second parameter)

Hi,

It's also working here on a RPI3 + DHT11 with BMC2835 1.52, wired to Pin 7 - GPIO 4.

One particularity of the sensor I'm using (a Velleman VMA311) is its pins order : signal on the left, + in the middle and - on the right. Will soon test it with a DHT22, too.

And btw, @momenso, thanks a lot for this very useful module.

It is working with RPi3 following instruction of installing node-gyp.

If anyone still have any problems please open a new issue with your specifics.
