Grove Pi Temp and humidity sensor

I’m using the Brickpi image. Sensor is Temp and humidity sensor.
I modified the grove_dht_pro.py for dht as follows

===================================================================================

GrovePi + Grove Temperature & Humidity Sensor Pro

http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Grove_-_Temperature_and_Humidity_Sensor_Pro

import grovepi

Connect the Grove Temperature & Humidity Sensor Pro to digital port D4

SIG,NC,VCC,GND

sensor = 7

while True:
try:
[temp,humidity] = grovepi.dht(sensor,0) <------------- using 0 instead of 1
print “temp =”, temp, " humidity =", humidity

except IOError:
    print "Error"

=============================================================================

On running this, getting following log…

temp = 25.0 humidity = 46.0
temp = 25.0 humidity = 46.0
temp = 26.0 humidity = 46.0
temp = 26.0 humidity = 46.0
temp = 25.0 humidity = 46.0
temp = 26.0 humidity = 46.0
temp = 25.0 humidity = 46.0
temp = 25.0 humidity = 46.0
IOError
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “tarak_dht.py”, line 12, in <module>
[temp,humidity] = grovepi.dht(sensor,0)
TypeError: ‘int’ object is not iterable

What is the reason of IOError ? How to fix this?

Hey,
The IOError shows up if the GrovePi loses a data packet when communicating with the RaspberryPi. It is nothing much to worky about and you should just add an exception handler to catch the TypeError and move on, something like except TypeError: pass.
