Hi,
I’m trying to make a datalogger to capture temperature and humidity with the DHT11/22 sensor, but also display realtime the temperature and humidity on a LCD.
I’ve did manage to combine multiple examples into one sketch.
But as i’m pretty new i asking for help how to display realtime the temperature and humidity on a LCD, because now it’s a refresh as defined by this line right? define LOG_INTERVAL
The output to the csv file is okay to have it logged every 10 minutes or so.
Also want to add a borometric pressure sensor(bmp180 for example)
I hope someone will look at the code and help me out. also you guys see lots of error perhaps 
I’ve paste my script here:
// log DHT sensor readings to SD card
#include “DHT.h”
#include <SD.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include “RTClib.h”

Adafruit_RGBLCDShield lcd = Adafruit_RGBLCDShield();

#define WHITE 0x7
