  dhtReadByte() reads one byte using proprietary 1-wire protocol.

  Bits appear from the sensor as:

           Digital 0              Digital 1
  Vcc        ____                 ________
            |    |               |   ^    |
  Gnd   ____|    |__v__      ____|        |__
        50us 27us            50us  70us

  To read, wait for the input to switch from LOW to HIGH
  and wait for 35 microseconds.  At this point, a 0 digit will
  be at the or the low point for the next bit or mid-point of 
  the digital 1 signal,  This is looped 8 times.

  Bits are clocked in from bit 7 to bit 0.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------  */

int dhtReadByte(dhtPin)  {
  int i,rbyte = 0;
  pinMode(dhtPin,INPUT);  // Set the DHT_ pin as input
  for (i=0 ; i < 8 ; i++) {
    while(digitalRead(dhtPin) == LOW); // Wait for input to switch to HIGH
    delayMicroseconds(35); // Wait for digital 1 mid-point.
    if (digitalRead(dhtPin) == HIGH) {  //  We have a digital 1
      rbyte |= 1 << (7 - i); // Save the bit.
      while(digitalRead(dhtPin) == HIGH); // wait for HIGH to LOW switch (~ 35us).
    } // end if

  DHT_read() takes a reading from the DHT sensor and returns a success status.

  To take a reading we first send out a start signal and check for a response.  
  The timings are as follows:

          Request           Response from DHT
         from MPU     |< 40us><    80us   >< 40us>|
  Vcc    _      ______|              _____________|
          |    |      |             |      ^      |
  Gnd     |____|      |______|______|             |__
           20ms  30us      80us          80us    

  First set DHT pin to be an output, then drive output 
  LOW for 20us, then HIGH for 30us.

  Once the start signal has been sent, we must change the DHT pin 
  to be an input and wait 40us for the first mid-point, then 80us 
  for the second mid-point, followed by a 40us wait for the actual 
  data to start.  

  If the two mid-points do not read as a zero followed by a one, 
  then the DHT is not present on the pin and the DHT_NOTCONNECTED 
  status is returned.

  Once checks are successful, we store five bytes from DHT as follows:

  Byte 1: The integer part of the humidity reading.
  Byte 2: The decimal part of the humidity reading (Always 0 on DHT).
  Byte 3: The integer part of the temperature reading.
  Byte 4: The decimal part of the temperature reading (Always 0 on DHT).
  Byte 5: Checksum data

  The checksum is the sum of the lower 8 bits of bytes 1-4.

  Data can be displayed as (Integer part).(Decimal part)
  For simple calculations, only the integer part is typically required.
