This kit includes a temperature and humidity sensor (DHT11), a light sensor (LDR), a motion sensor (PIR), a sound sensor, and a vibration sensor. This documentation provides an overview of the component, its pinouts, and code examples to demonstrate how to use this kit in various contexts.
Pinouts
The 5 in 1 Sensor Kit for Arduino has a total of 10 pins, which are:
VCC: Power supply voltage (5V)

Code Examples
### Example 1: Reading Temperature and Humidity using DHT11
In this example, we will read the temperature and humidity values from the DHT11 sensor and display them on the serial monitor.
```c++
#include <DHT.h> // Include the DHT library
#define DHTPIN 2 // Define the DHT11 output pin
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHT11); // Create a DHT object
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize the serial monitor
  dht.begin(); // Initialize the DHT11 sensor
}
void loop() {
  int chk = dht.read(); // Read the DHT11 sensor
  if (chk == DHTLIB_OK) {
    Serial.print("Temperature: ");
    Serial.print(dht.readTemperature());
    Serial.println(" C");
    Serial.print("Humidity: ");
    Serial.print(dht.readHumidity());
    Serial.println(" %");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Error reading DHT11!");
  }
  delay(2000); // Wait 2 seconds before taking the next reading
}
```
### Example 2: Detecting Motion using PIR Sensor and Controlling an LED
In this example, we will use the PIR sensor to detect motion and control an LED connected to pin 13. When motion is detected, the LED will turn on; otherwise, it will remain off.
```c++
const int pirPin = 3; // Define the PIR output pin
const int ledPin = 13; // Define the LED pin
void setup() {
  pinMode(pirPin, INPUT); // Set the PIR pin as an input
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as an output
}
void loop() {
  int motionState = digitalRead(pirPin); // Read the PIR sensor
  if (motionState == HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn on the LED when motion is detected
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn off the LED when no motion is detected
  }
  delay(500); // Wait 500ms before taking the next reading
}
```
### Example 3: Reading Light Intensity using LDR
In this example, we will read the light intensity value from the LDR sensor and display it on the serial monitor.
```c++
const int ldrPin = A0; // Define the LDR output pin
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize the serial monitor
}
void loop() {
  int lightValue = analogRead(ldrPin); // Read the LDR sensor
  Serial.print("Light Intensity: ");
  Serial.println(lightValue);
  delay(500); // Wait 500ms before taking the next reading
}
```
Troubleshooting
Make sure to properly connect the VCC and GND pins to the Arduino board.
 Ensure that the DHT11 sensor is properly connected to the board and not exposed to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
 Adjust the sensitivity of the PIR sensor by rotating the potentiometer on the module.
 Calibrate the LDR sensor by adjusting the potentiometer on the module.
By following these examples and understanding the pinouts, you can unlock the full potential of the 5 in 1 Sensor Kit for Arduino and integrate it into various IoT projects.
