I try this sensor with NetHoncho library but it always return Checksum error. I change the setup, with/without resistor, reading 40 instead of 41 and always the same result.
It works for me with the code from arduino playground http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/DHTLib I just change the delay to 2000 and move this to the begining of the loop, and remove the code for the DHT11
