 manner.
 
 | Humidity int (8b) | Humidity decimal (8b) | Temp int (8b) | Temp decimal (8b) | Parity |
+
+Parity is calculated by adding all of the four proceeding values together.
+Whatever the result is should match the Parity. The values sent back should be
+read as Big Endian; the most signifigant bit comes first for each 8bit block of
+data.
+
+== Steps to read Data ==
+
+1) After the DHT11 has been turned on, in must stay on for at least 1S in order
+   for it to calibrate itself properly. Do not probe it earlier than this.
+2) The data line must be held low for *no less than 18ms*. After this time, the
+   pin on the MCU must switch to being in an input state. 
+3) The DHT11 will respond with 80us of VCC, followed by 80us of GND. This is
+   used as a way of calibrating the format in which the device will reply with
+   data.
+4) After this exactly 40bits of data will be sent back. The format for each
+   type of response is as shown. 
+   - A one (1) consists of 50us of GND, followed by 26-28us of VCC
+   - A zero (0) consists of 50us of GND, followed by 70us of VCC.
