PIC - DHT22 with PIC16F887 not working

[Rafa_Forum]

Hi guys!

I am trying to make a DHT22 sensor interface using a PIC16F887. I compiled the code below and it works, but when I simulated it in Proteus, there is a problem with the "check_response" function. The LCD displays the message "No response from the sensor".

I am using the mikroC PRO for PIC compiler and Proteus 8 Professional for simulations.
I attach the schema used in Proteus.

// LCD module connections

sbit LCD_EN at RD1_bit;
sbit LCD_D4 at RD2_bit;
sbit LCD_D5 at RD3_bit;
sbit LCD_D6 at RD4_bit;
sbit LCD_D7 at RD5_bit;

sbit LCD_RS_Direction at TRISD0_bit;
sbit LCD_EN_Direction at TRISD1_bit;
sbit LCD_D4_Direction at TRISD2_bit;
sbit LCD_D5_Direction at TRISD3_bit;
sbit LCD_D6_Direction at TRISD4_bit;
sbit LCD_D7_Direction at TRISD5_bit;
// end LCD module connections

// DHT22 sensor connection (here sensor data pin is connected to pin RB0)
sbit DHT22_PIN at RB0_bit;
sbit DHT22_PIN_Direction at TRISB0_bit;
// End DHT11 sensor connection

Look at the schematic more closely, RB0 has been directly connected to 5V.

Kindly make the correction suggested by MACBOY. Data pin  is not supposed to be connected to VCC. Please correct it and let us know the update.
