Temperature reading using an Arduino and a sensor LM35DZ
A tutorial is a method of processing a temperature sensor LM35DZ using the Arduino module.
In this example we used the following elements:
Connect the sensor with Arduino:
The sensor using the Arduino you should connect the layout as follows:
Sensor | Pin Arduino |
---|---|
GND | GND |
Signal | A1 |
Vcc | 5 V |
The connection scheme of sensor with the Arduino Uno.
Program for Arduino
In the example, we used the following code:
- int sensor = A1; //analog pin A1 is connected to the signal from the sensor
- float VOLTS;
- float TEMP;
- void setup(){
- Serial.begin(9600); //initialize serial monitor
- Serial.println("Test temperature sensor");
- }
- void loop(){
- int reading = analogRead(sensor); //read the value from the sensor
- VOLT = (reading * 5.0) / 1024.0; //conversion of the measured value for voltage in volts (for connection at 5 V)
- TEMP = VOLT * 100; //conversion from voltage to temperature, the resolution of the sensor is 10 mV per degree
- Serial.print("Temperature (C): "); //display it on the monitor
- Serial.println(TEMP);
- delay(200); //delay between consecutive readings
- }
The results of the program can be seen below:
