I updated a Pico 2W with the latest version of WebMite. Now, when I run the HUMID command (DEVICE HUMID GP28 temp, humidity, DHT11), it returns 1000 and 1000 for temperature and humidity. The connections and pin assignments are the same as before. Just in case the DHT11 was broken, I tried other units, and the error persists. With the previous version of WebMite, it gave correct values. Any clues?

The manual currently says HUMID pin, tvar, hvar [,DHT11]
But in the past it was HUMID pin, tvar, hvar [,1]
So for the DHT11 it was HUMID pin, tvar, hvar, 1 so that may be worth a try.

Edit.
Yes that works, so the new manual has a typo.

A stab in dark suggestion. Some DT11 requies extra parameters been missed in manuals entirely?

Although I havent got a pico W2 running  yet I have DHT11 on pico W months now perfect via V6.00.01

But mine has never worked on anything until i found in the help viewer of fantastic mmedit of Tassy Jim! Go TJ!

So his info is exceptional!
Bitbang humid gpxx, tempvar, humidvar ,?

Set ? To 1 for DHT11 and 0 DHT22 simples.

Additional, the humidity in the DHT11 is genrally usless while its temperature is poor reslution, but it does work! See how you go....

Highly recomend mmedit. As a long term pic programmer, it's excellent. Google micromite, geoff website where mmedit lives.    
Regards.

None of the ways work.

It may also be a pullup resistor issue or not a 5v compatibility pin compliant device. I'll let you reasurch that.

See my post above Supertech

Eureka !!,

BITBANG HUMID GP2, temp, humidity, 1  

works !! The key is the value “1” instead of DHT11. Also work with DEVICE or HUMID alone.

Thanks Supertech

You cant use "temp" as variable, its a reserved command.

Dim mytemp!, myhumid!

BITBANG HUMID GP2, mtemp!, myhumid!, 1

Print mytemp!, myhumid!

Try that?

Yep, until that ? Extra 1 was added to earlier firmwares then forgotten to be included in later manuals, it never worked for me on ANY chip!

I still honor Tassy Jim as only he's got it in his editor help in infinate details.

Found at bottom of this page is his mmedit editor, well worth playing with.

Try not to overheat now in your humidity    

From the current manual (I just wanted to be sure it was correct)

  Quote  

The optional DHT11 parameter modifies the timings to work with the DHT11.
Set to 1 for DHT11 and 0 or omit for DHT22.

DHT11 is treated as a variable set to zero. Use OPTION EXPLICIT and this sort of problem will never occur!

Sorry for my mistake, I didn't realize that DHT11 is a value, 0 or 1, and not a parameter.
I'm careless.
Thanks, matherp.
