Simple and Cheap Temperature Measuring Instrument Using Thermistor

simple and cheap temperature sensor using NTC thermistor

thermistor changes its resistance with change in time using this property we are building temperature sensor to know more about thermistor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor

Arduino uno (or) any arduino will work

some jumper wires and bread board

1 X 10 k resistor

1X NTC 10k thermistor

(Ground) ---- (10k-Resistor) -------|------- (Thermistor) ---- (+5v)

| Analog Pin 0

#include

double Thermistor(int RawADC) { double Temp; Temp = log(10000.0*((1024.0/RawADC-1))); // =log(10000.0/(1024.0/RawADC-1)) // for pull-up configuration Temp = 1 / (0.001129148 + (0.000234125 + (0.0000000876741 * Temp * Temp ))* Temp ); Temp = Temp - 273.15; // Convert Kelvin to Celcius Temp = (Temp * 9.0)/ 5.0 +32; // Convert Celcius to Fahrenheit return Temp; }

void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); }

void loop() { Serial.println(int(Thermistor(analogRead(0)))); // display Fahrenheit delay(1000); }

#include

double Thermistor(int RawADC) { double Temp; Temp = log(10000.0*((1024.0/RawADC-1))); // =log(10000.0/(1024.0/RawADC-1)) // for pull-up configuration Temp = 1 / (0.001129148 + (0.000234125 + (0.0000000876741 * Temp * Temp ))* Temp ); Temp = Temp - 273.15; // Convert Kelvin to Celcius return Temp; }

void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); }

void loop() { Serial.println(int(Thermistor(analogRead(0)))); // display Fahrenheit delay(1000); }

after completing all the steps now open the serial monitor and set the baud to 115200 you can see the temperature readings

Further developments you can add lcd to this

thank you :)
