Adafruit Temp Sensor Tutorial

To convert the voltage to temperature simply use the basic formula.

Adafruit temp sensor tutorial.

Measuring temperature with a beaglebone black. In this lesson you will learn how to use a ds18b20 with the raspberry pi to take temperature readings. Additionally because the pct2075 allows the address pins to work in three states high low floating you can have 27 pct2075s on the same bus as. The voltage out is 0v at 50 c and 1 75v at 125 c.

So for example if the voltage out is 1v that means that the temperature is 1000 mv 500 10 50 c. Voltage at pin in millivolts reading from adc 5000 1024 this formula converts the number 0 1023 from the adc into 0 5000mv 5v. Its very similar to the lm35 tmp35 celsius output and lm34 tmp34 farenheit output. They work great with any microcontroller using standard i2c.

Using a tmp36 temperature sensor with beaglebone black by simon monk. Temp in c vout in mv 500 10. To use connect pin 1 left to power between 2 7 and 5 5v pin 3 right to ground and pin 2 to analog in on your microcontroller. Reading temperatures to 0 1 degree precision.

These stats are for the temperature sensor in the adafruit shop the analog devices tmp36 40 to 150c. Tutorials and series to get you on your way. A thermistor is a thermal resistor a resistor that changes its resistance with temperature. The pct2075 by nxp is a pin compatible drop in replacement for a very common i2c temperature sensor the lm75.

This i2c digital temperature sensor is one of the more accurate precise we ve ever seen with a typical accuracy of 0 25 c over the sensor s 40 c to 125 c range and precision of 0 0625 c. Temp in c vout in mv 10. If you re using a 5v arduino and connecting the sensor directly into an analog pin you can use these formulas to turn the 10 bit analog reading into a temperature. Compared to the lm75 however the 11 bit adc in the pct2075 provides more precise measurements when compared to the lm75 s 9 bit adc.

Since the raspberry pi has no adc analog to digital converter it cannot directly use an analog temperature sensor like the tmp36 making the ds18b20 a good choice for temperature sensing. Thermistors are made so that the resistance changes drastically with temperature so that it can be 100 ohms or more of change per degree. Send real time analog sensor data to adafruit io.
