Re: Wemos D1 mini+DHT22 shield - Heat from chip influence on dht22

You can be sure that the wemos is generating some heat that will warmup the DHT sensor on the shield.

many solutions possible:
Make the distance between the DHT shield and the wemos itself larger with a set of extra pinheaders.
Move the air with a ventilator so heat of the Wemos will be blown away.

i think you can escape that loop by actually powering off and on again while connecting rx and tx. that will reset the reboot counter.
