Hi,

I am trying to use this code with an Adsong dht22 (am2302) temp/rh sensor 
running on the BBB.  I haven't used C for a number of years so I am kind of 
rusty.  What modifications did you make to compile it with g++ on the BBB? 
 How does portG map to the pinout on the BBB? Or what pin do I connect the 
data line to on the BBB?

Thanks!
