30.Dt GPIOTHS 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm gpioths
34.Nd driver for DHTxx and AM320x temperature and humidity sensors
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36To compile this driver into the kernel,
37place the following line in your
38kernel configuration file:
39.Bd -ragged -offset indent
40.Cd "device gpioths"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47gpioths_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver supports the DHTxx and AM320x family of
53temperature and humidity sensors.
54The driver automatically reads the values from the sensor
55once every 5 seconds, and makes the results available via
56.Xr sysctl 8
57variables.
58.Sh HARDWARE
59The
60.Nm
61driver provides support for the following devices:
62.Pp
63.Bl -column -compact -offset indent "XXXXXXXX" "XXXXXXXX"
64.It DHT11  Ta DHT12
65.It DHT21  Ta DHT22
66.It AM3201 Ta AM3202
67.El
68.Pp
69The supported devices are all similar to each other, varying
70primarily in accuracy and resolution.
71The devices require a single wire for data communications, using a
72custom protocol which is not compatible with Maxim's 1-wire(tm).
73The AM320x devices also support connection to an i2c bus,
74but this driver supports only the single-wire connection option.
75.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
76Sysctl variables are used to access the most recent temperature and
77humidity measurements.
78.Bl -tag -width indent
79.It Va dev.gpioths.<unit>.temp
80The current temperature in integer deciKelvins.
81Note that
82.Xr sysctl 8
83will convert those units to display in decimal degrees Celcius.
84.It Va dev.gpioths.<unit>.hum
85The current relative humidity, as an integer percentage.
86.It Va dev.gpioths.<unit>.fails
87The number of failed attempts to communicate with the sensor since
88the last good access.
89Cleared whenever a set of measurements is successfully retrieved.
90.El
91.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
92On an
93.Xr fdt 4
94based system, a
95.Nm
96device node is typically defined directly under the root node, or under
97a simplebus node that represents a collection of devices on a board.
98.Pp
99The following properties are required in the
100.Nm
101device subnode:
102.Bl -tag -width indent
103.It Va compatible
104Must be "dht11".
105.It Va gpios
106A reference to the gpio device and pin for data communications.

111/plugin/;

115    compatible = "wand,imx6q-wandboard";
116};
117
118&{/} {
119    dht0 {
120        compatible = "dht11";
121        gpios = <&gpio5 15 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
122    };
123};
124.Ed
125.Sh HINTS CONFIGURATION
126On a
127.Xr device.hints 5
128based system, such as
129.Li MIPS ,
130these values are configurable for
131.Nm :
132.Bl -tag -width indent
133.It Va hint.gpioths.<unit>.at
134The
135.Xr gpiobus 4
136instance the
137.Nm
138instance is attached to.
139.It Va hint.gpioths.pins
140A bitmask with a single bit set to indicate which gpio pin on the
141.Xr gpiobus 4
142to use for data communications.

148.Sh HISTORY
149The
150.Nm
151driver first appeared in
152.Fx 11.1 .
