Simplest Arduino based thermometer using LM35 and LCD i2c screen
Hello there, this is an easy project to start with if you’re new to Arduino, this is my first project and pretty much my first contact with Arduino World.
It’s an easy thermometer, temperature sensor used with Arduino and a LCD i2c display. It measures and shows the ambient temperature in °C, you can do a little math to display it in °F.
The LM35z has a range of 0-100°C, linear, has an Analog output and can be used in all standard applications.
Wiring:
The wiring is easy as well, the sensor pins are VCC/OUT/GND are wired with respectively 5V/A0/GND.
A0 or any analog input will do the work, but don’t forget to modify the code.
The LCD i2c has 4 pins GND/VCC/SDA/SCL are wired respectively with GND/5V/A4/A5.
Libraries:
The only library I used is the LCD i²c New _liquid_crystal, you can use any library you want just adapt the functions.
In case you use a standard LCD you’ll need another library and suitable functions.
