Writing data from a DHT11 to LCD - expplane - Jul-29-2017
I know how to write characters to the LCD. How do I take the temperature data from the DHT11 and write that to the LCD. Also I can't find information on what functions are included in RPLCD module. I learned about using that module to write characters from a YouTUbe video, which is a very time consuming method. Where are there documents on the Python installed packages(modules?)?
Thanks for any help.

Yessss, reading is much faster than watching YouTube Vidos.
You can start here: https://github.com/hexdump42/Adafruit_Python_DHT
Follow the instructions. You can install this package via pip.

I use RPLCD and can write DHT11 data to the python screen and can write character strings to the LCD, but need to find a method to convert the float data from the DHT11 to a string since RPLCD apparently only can send a character string to the LCD.
