Temperature Sensors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/temperature-sensors/
This article introduces temperature sensors that detect heat using either direct physical contact or non-contact methods like radiation and convection. It also introduces a few popular types, including bending bi-metallic strips, thermistors, and RTDs.
Microchip’s MCP9700 and MCP9701 low-power linear active thermistor ICs provide a low-cost solution
https://www.electronics-lab.com/microchips-mcp9700-and-mcp9701-low-power-linear-active-thermistor-ics-provide-a-low-cost-solution/
Microchip’s low-power MCP9700, MCP9700A, MCP9700B, MCP9701, and MCP9701A analog temperature sensors with linear active thermistor integrated circuit (IC) convert temperature to analog voltage. These sensors have accuracy of ±1°C from +20°C to +70°C (MCP9700B), ±2°C from 0°C to +70°C (MCP9700A and MCP9701A), and ±4°C from 0°C to +70°C (MCP9700 and MCP9701) and consume 6 µA […]
Make an Arduino Temperature Sensor (Thermistor Tutorial)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/make-arduino-temperature-sensor-thermistor-tutorial/
In this video, Circuit Basics walks us through the steps in setting up a thermistor temperature sensor on an Arduino Uno. First they show how to output the temperature readings to your serial monitor. Then they go over how to connect and output the temperature readings to a 16×2 LCD display. Make an Arduino Temperature […]
Temperature-to-period circuit provides linearization of thermistor response
https://www.electronics-lab.com/temperature-period-circuit-provides-linearization-thermistor-response/
by S Kaliyugavaradan, Anna University, Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai, India; Edited by Brad Thompson and Fran Granville -November 10, 2005 Designers often use thermistors rather than other temperature sensors because thermistors offer high sensitivity, compactness, low cost, and small time constants. But most thermistors’ resistance-versus-temperature characteristics are highly nonlinear and need correction for applications […]
Temperature controlled Fan
https://www.electronics-lab.com/temperature-controlled-fan-2/
Ahmad Al-Shalabi and Bassma Karbouj show us how to control a DC fan using easy to find components. The fan works when temperature reach into pre-specified threshold. The purpose of this project is creating a cooling system by controlling in a DC fan in a simple way without using Microcontrollers or Arduino but by using […]
Arduino Body Thermometer + LCD I2C
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-thermometer-lcd-i2c/
This is a body thermometer using a thermistor sensor, Arduino and LCD display. I’ve decided to provide a funny Arduino concept thermometer in case its the middle of the night, pharmacies are not working, you are not feeling well and you want to check your body temperature. If you have Arduino by your side, this is […]
Nixie thermometer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nixie-thermometer/
Luca Dentella has build a Nixie thermometer to measure the temperature of the liquid cooling system, file are available on Github. I decided to log the design and the development of the project in ten blog posts. They show my “divide et impera” approach: I divided the whole project in small tasks (drive a nixie […]
89S52 Thermistor Thermometer: LCD version
https://www.electronics-lab.com/89s52-thermistor-thermometer-lcd-version/
by Wichit Sirichote: This is the 2nd version of Thermistor Thermometer Project done by another group of my student. The 1st version having 4-digit 7-segment LED shows the use of simple display device. For applications that needs text display, this LCD version is more suitable and easy to adapt for many kinds of measuring devices. 89S52 […]
