Project Seven - Temperature

Introduction

Next on our Grove journey is the temperature sensor . It is an analog form of input, and as described earlier returns a voltage potential relative to the ambient temperature. We measure this voltage using an analog pin, and convert it to a temperature.
Connect the Temperature Sensor to the Analog A0/A1 input jack. The Grove unit produces an analog voltage on its D1 output, which is connected to Arduino A0 analog input on the A0/A1 input jack.
Now upload the following Arduino sketch:
// Project Seven - temperature // int a; int del=1000; // duration between temperature readings float ctemperature; float ftemperature; int B=3975; float resistance; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { a=analogRead(0); resistance=(float)(1023-a)*10000/a; ctemperature=1/(log(resistance/10000)/B+1/298.15)-273.15; ftemperature=ctemperature*9/5+32; Serial.print(ctemperature); Serial.write(186); Serial.print("C "); Serial.print(ftemperature); Serial.write(186); Serial.println("F"); delay(del); }
You can copy and paste the lines above to add temperature capability to your own sketches.
After you have uploaded the sketch, open the serial monitor window in the Arduino IDE, and you should be presented with a box similar to this:

Help us make it better

Thank you for choosing Seeed. A couple of months ago we initiated a project to improve our documentation system. What you are looking at now is the first edition of the new documentation system. Comparing to the old one, here is the progresses that we made:
  • Replaced the old documentation system with a new one that was developed from Mkdocs, a more widely used and cooler tool to develop documentation system.
  • Integrated the documentation system with our official website, now you can go to Bazaar and other section like Forum and Community more conveniently.
  • Reviewed and rewrote documents for hundreds of products for the system’s first edition, and will continue migrate documents from old wiki to the new one.
An easy-to-use instruction is as important as the product itself. We are expecting this new system will improve your experience when using Seeed’s products. However since this is the first edition, there are still many things need to improve, if you have any suggestions or findings, you are most welcome to submit the amended version as our contributor or give us suggestions in the survey below, Please don’t forget to leave your email address so that we can reply.
Happy hacking
