※ NOTE THAT:
The LCD I2C address may be different for each manufacturer. In our code, we used the 0x27 address, which is provided by the DIYables manufacturer.
Detailed Instructions
If you are new to the Arduino Nano 33 IoT, be sure to check out our Getting Started with Arduino Nano 33 IoT tutorial. Then, follow these steps:
- Connect the components to the Arduino Nano 33 IoT board as depicted in the diagram.
- Use a USB cable to connect the Arduino Nano 33 IoT board to your computer.
- Launch the Arduino IDE on your computer.
- Select the Arduino Nano 33 IoT board and choose its corresponding COM port.
- Click the Libraries icon on the left side in the Arduino IDE.
- Type DHT in the search box, then find the DHT sensor library by Adafruit.
- Click the Install button to add the library.

- A window appears asking if you want to add the necessary tools for the library. Click the Install All button to add all the needed tools.

- Type LiquidCrystal I2C in the search box and find the LiquidCrystal_I2C library by Frank de Brabander.
- Click the Install button to add the LiquidCrystal_I2C library.

- Copy the code above and paste it into the Arduino IDE.
- Click the Upload button to compile the code and send it to the Arduino Nano 33 IoT board.
- Change the temperature near the sensor—for example, put it close to a hot cup of coffee.
- Watch the result on the LCD.
