LM35 Temp Sensor Arduino Code

This code summarizes an Arduino code for an LM35 temperature sensor and the corresponding Processing code to display the temperature readings. The Arduino code uses an LM35 temperature sensor on analog pin 0 to read temperatures. It controls a servo motor and LED based on the temperature, turning them on if above 24°C. The readings are sent over serial to the Processing code. The Processing code receives the temperature readings over serial. It displays the current reading, draws a graph of past readings, and converts between Celsius and Fahrenheit for display.

Here is the code for the LM35 Temp sensor I posted on YOUTUBE. Hope it helps.

Arduino Code:

#include <Servo.h> // Servo header file is needed to control


the servo motor.
Servo servo1; // Create servo object to allow us to
control the servo motor.

float tempC; // create variable to store the temperature


in.
int tempPin = 0; // Attach vout to analog pin 0.
int led = 13; // attach led to pin 13.
int fan1 = 3; // attach base of transistor to digital pin
3.
int pos = 0; // create variable to store the position of
the servo motor.

void setup() // Will execute once at the start of the


code.
{
Serial.begin(9600); // opens serial port, sets data rate to
9600 bps
pinMode (led, OUTPUT); // sets the led pin 13 up as an output.
pinMode (fan1, OUTPUT); // sets the fan1 pin 3 up as an output.
servo1.attach(5); // attaches the servo motor to digital pin
5.
}

void loop() // code here will continue to replay nutil


powered off.
{
tempC = analogRead(tempPin); // read the analog value from the lm35
sensor.
tempC = (5.0 * tempC * 100.0)/1024.0; // convert the analog input to temperature
in centigrade.
Serial.print((byte)tempC); // send the data to the computer.

if (tempC > 24) // creates bool expression for analyzation.


if it evaluates to true,
{ // the body of the if statement will
execute.
pos = 180; // sets pos equal to 180.
digitalWrite (led, HIGH); // turns on led.
digitalWrite (fan1, HIGH); // turns on fan1.
servo1.write(pos); // turns servo to 180 degrees.
}
else // if the if equation evaluates to false
the else statement will execute.
{
pos = 90; // sets pos equal to 90.
digitalWrite (led, LOW); // turns off led.
digitalWrite (fan1, LOW); // turns off fan1.
servo1.write(pos); // turns servo to 90 degrees.
}
delay(3000); // wait 3 seconds before redoing the loop.
}
Processing Code:

//import Serial communication library


import processing.serial.*;

//init variables
Serial commPort;
float tempC;
float tempF;
int yDist;
PFont font12;
PFont font24;
float[] tempHistory = new float[100];

void setup()
{
//setup fonts for use throughout the application
font12 = loadFont("Verdana-12.vlw");
font24 = loadFont("Verdana-24.vlw");

//set the size of the window


size(210, 200);

//init serial communication port


commPort = new Serial(this, "COM5", 9600);

//fill tempHistory with default temps


for(int index = 0; index<100; index++)
tempHistory[index] = 0;
}

void draw()
{
//get the temp from the serial port
while (commPort.available() > 0)
{
tempC = commPort.read();

//refresh the background to clear old data


background(123);

//draw the temp rectangle


colorMode(RGB, 160); //use color mode sized for fading
stroke (0);
rect (49,19,22,162);
//fade red and blue within the rectangle
for (int colorIndex = 0; colorIndex <= 160; colorIndex++)
{
stroke(160 - colorIndex, 0, colorIndex);
line(50, colorIndex + 20, 70, colorIndex + 20);
}

//draw graph
stroke(0);
fill(255,255,255);
rect(90,80,100,100);
for (int index = 0; index<100; index++)
{
if(index == 99)
tempHistory[index] = tempC;
else
tempHistory[index] = tempHistory[index + 1];
point(90 + index, 180 - tempHistory[index]);
}

//write reference values


fill(0,0,0);
textFont(font12);
textAlign(RIGHT);
text("212 F", 45, 25);
text("32 F", 45, 187);

//draw triangle pointer


yDist = int(160 - (160 * (tempC * 0.01)));
stroke(0);
triangle(75, yDist + 20, 85, yDist + 15, 85, yDist + 25);

//write the temp in C and F


fill(0,0,0);
textFont(font24);
textAlign(LEFT);
tempC = 5*tempC*100/1024;
text(str(int(tempC)) + " C", 115, 37);
text(str(int(tempC*1.8+32)) + " F", 115, 65);
}
}
