DHT11 Temperature & Humidity Sensor (3 pins)
DHT11 Temperature & Humidity Sensor (3 pins)
4 pins will work but then skip the 3rd pin.

4 digit 7 segment display (elegoo)
All components can be found in Elegoo Uno R3 Kit
×1
Jumper wires (generic)

This is a rough estimate. It may be more or less. Some may need to be bought separate from the Elegoo Uno R3 Kit.
