I accidentally connected DHT11's GND to VCC and VCC to GND. Now I can't read using it. Is it damaged now? What could have happened? (Sorry if it sounds lame, I am a newbie)

Most of the time, in any device without a polyfuse, connecting power directly to ground will damage and usually brick the device. So, in short, I doubt it will ever work again.


R.I.P. @Ric's DHT11 it will be missed.
