Story
• Introduction:The project is a temperature sensor made
with an Arduino UNO and LM35 sensor and a few other
components. The main aim of the project is to detect the
temperature of the surroundings and display it on the LCD.
• The working of the project starts with the LM35 sensor
that senses the change in temperature of the surrounding,
and uses that temperature difference to produce a voltage
of 10mv for 1 degree celsuis signal which is processed by
the Arduino to give a digital output displaying the
temperature of the given surrounding.
• Description of how it works:
Connections
• Connection Details:
• - LCD PIN 1 to Ground, PIN 2 to Supply
• - LCD PIN 3 to 10K Potentiometer, others to ground
• - LCD PIN 15 to Ground, PIN 16 to Supply
• - LCD PINS D4-D7 to Arduino PINS 5-2
• - LCD PIN 4 (RS) to Arduino PIN 7
• - LCD PIN 5 (RW) to Ground
• - LCD PIN 6 (E) to Arduino PIN 6
• - LM35 PIN 2 to Arduino Analog Input A0
• - Connect two breadboards together
