Adafruit Temp Sensor Tutorial

In this lesson you will learn how to use a ds18b20 with the raspberry pi to take temperature readings.

Adafruit temp sensor tutorial.

The voltage out is 0v at 50 c and 1 75v at 125 c. 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. The pct2075 by nxp is a pin compatible drop in replacement for a very common i2c temperature sensor the lm75. 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.

Temp in c vout in mv 10. They work great with any microcontroller using standard i2c. 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. These stats are for the temperature sensor in the adafruit shop the analog devices tmp36 40 to 150c.

Its very similar to the lm35 tmp35 celsius output and lm34 tmp34 farenheit output. Tutorials and series to get you on your way. Thermistors are made so that the resistance changes drastically with temperature so that it can be 100 ohms or more of change per degree. Using a tmp36 temperature sensor with beaglebone black by simon monk.

Wide range low power temperature sensor outputs an analog voltage that is proportional to the ambient temperature. To convert the voltage to temperature simply use the basic formula. Reading temperatures to 0 1 degree precision. Voltage at pin in millivolts reading from adc 5000 1024 this formula converts the number 0 1023 from the adc into 0 5000mv 5v.

Measuring temperature with a beaglebone black. Temp in c vout in mv 500 10. So for example if the voltage out is 1v that means that the temperature is 1000 mv 500 10 50 c. 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.

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. Send real time analog sensor data to adafruit io. Technically all resistors are thermistors their resistance changes slightly with temperature but the change is usually very very small and difficult to measure.
