AM2302 capacitive humidity sensing digital temperature and humidity module is one that contains the compound has been calibrated digital signal output of the temperature and humidity sensors. Application of a dedicated digital modules collection technology and the temperature and humidity sensing technology, to ensure that the product has high reliability and excellent long-term stability. The sensor includes a capacitive sensor wet components and a high-precision temperature measurement devices, and connected with a high-performance 8-bit microcontroller.
The best way to use this is to use a module/breakout like the following one

Schematic
In this example we connect the AM2302 to D12.
The code example requires you to import the AM2303 library – Shigenori Inoue craeted the one I used.
Code
[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]
#include "mbed.h" #include "AM2303.h" /* Humidity sensor */ AM2303 h(D12); /* The main function */ int main() { /* Variables */ int state; /* Show splash screen */ printf("AM2303 Humidity"); /* Infinate loop */ while(true) { /* Wait for measurement */ wait(2.0); /* Read the measured results */ state = h.readData(); /* Show the data, otherwise error */ if (state != AM2303::OK) { printf("<Error: %d>\n", state); } else { printf("T:%2.1fC, H:%2.1f%%\n", h.readTemperature(), h.readHumidity()); } } }

Result
Using a terminal such as TeraTerm you should see something like the following
