used of microcontroller to Display temperature value on

LCD (liquid crystal display)

COMPONENTS:
There are many temperature sensors available in market. But
LM35 temperature sensor is used in this project. It is cheapest in
price and one can easily find it in market. There are many other
advantages of LM35 like:

It is more efficient than thermistor

It is made up of integrated circuit hence no chance of
damaging to internal circuitry.
It draws current only in micro Amperes.
Only 5 volt power supply is required for LM35 and there is no
need of extra circuitry to operate it. PIC16F877A micrcontroller

is used to read temperature value. 16X2 LCD is used to display

temperature value on LCD. Code of this project written in Mikro
C compiler.

IMPLEMENTATION:

FIND US ON
FACEBOOK

LM35 temperature sensor converts temperature into its

proportional analog voltage value. LM35 is three terminal
device.Pin number one and three are for 5 volt voltage supply.
Pin two is analog voltage output with respect to temperature
value.Relation between measured temperature and analog
output voltage is:
1oC= 10m volt

Hence for every 1 degree increase in temperature there will be

a increment of 10m volt in output voltage of LM35 sensor.
PIC16F877A microcontroller is used to measure analog voltage
value. PIC16F877A microcontroller built in ADC (analog to
digital
converter)
is
used
to
measure
analog
voltage.PIC16F877A PORTA have seven built in ADC channels.
So one can inerface upto seven sensors with this
microcontroller very easily.I will post a project on green house

system.In green house system project I have used four ADC

channels to measure temperature , light, humidity and
moisture. Coming back to our digital thermometer, ADC has
been used to read analog voltage. After reading ADC value,
using voltage and temperature relationship voltage is
converted back into temperature. A conversion factor is used to
convert voltage back into temperature. All these conversion has
been done through programming. LCD is connected to PORTB
ofPIC16F877A microcontroller. I will disucss it in programming
part. LCD is used to display temperature value.

its a good thing to find your blog today!!
I want to do two projects;
first; i wants to measure and display room
temperature and humidity at real-time , or every
2seconds, I need one pin to be high and low at 1hr
intervals,
Also i want one pin to be high for only 5 seconds
after every 2hrs,
these are for alarms, one pin high per each
condition ,when temperature is at 34c, 36c, 38c
39c and 39.5c
in case of humidity, one pin high per each
condition , when humidity is at 50%, 60% and 70%
I want it to control my homemade incubator , I
hope you can add to a certain pins which will
control the heaters for generating temperature
and humidity default temp. is 37.8c and humidity

is 65%, so any deviation from these defaults the

pins assigned will act accordingly from there it
will stabilizer the condition
is it possible to add several buttons for setting the
completed unit? if possible it will be awesome to
include. Please kindly suggest the circuit diagram
and the codes.
Let me end here with only the first .
Sorry for my bad English, I am from Africa,
Tanzania. I am waiting for you to inbox me via
[email protected] , thanks in advance
