Final Report Interfacing

This document summarizes a student mini project to develop a computerized temperature measurement system. It includes: - Designing hardware with a microcontroller circuit board to read temperature from a sensor and send data via serial communication to a computer. - Creating a VB6 software program to receive the temperature readings and display them on a computer screen, along with calibration graphs to ensure accuracy. - The system was tested by taking temperature readings in water from 7-80 degrees Celsius and comparing the results to a digital multimeter. The linear graph generated had an R2 value of 0.9968, indicating high accuracy of the temperature measurements.

Mini Project Computerized Temperature Measurement System


Introduction of mini project.
The main objective of this mini project is to develop a computerized temperature
measurement system consisting of both hardware and software. Upon completing
this mini project, we are able to apply all knowledge and skills obtained from two
previous activities. The emphasis will be given to:

Mastering microcontroller development cycle including programming,


uploading codes and constructing electronic circuit;
Explaining the analogue to digital conversion procedure and serial
communication routine between computer and hardware;
Mastering WinApp development cycle by demonstrating good file
management habit, user centric software interface and functional
applications; all using VB6;
Capable to present a complete product package containing hardware
prototype and standalone WinApp for the usage at any computers.

We get y = 126.3 x 167.34 where negative shows the zero


error of measurement. R2 is almost closed to 1 which is 0.9968.
Its indicate the linearity of the graph where graph lies on a
straight line, and which can be described by giving its slope
and its y intercept.
Based on the table, when the temperature increase, bits also
increase.
