Introduction: Arduino Thermometer, LCD Display, Thermistor
*** This project is no longer supported, the arduino code is outdated and no longer works, my arduino broke so I can't fix it, if you have a fix feel free to PM me! ***
Its an arduino project, creating a temperature measurer, with a thermistor, and outputs to an lcd display
Plug the thermistor in A0 through 5v
and follow the schematic, to hook up the lcd...
Parts list:
1, 2X16 white on black LCD
1, 10k Thermistor
1, Variable Resistor
1, Breadboard
1, 10k resistor
1, Arduino ( I use UNO)
1, 9v battery (Optional)
1, DC plug adaptor for 9v battery (Optional)
Here's the code
#include
#include
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
double Thermister(int RawADC) {
double Temp;
Temp = log(((10240000/RawADC) - 10000));
Temp = 1 / (0.001129148 + (0.000234125 * Temp) + (0.0000000876741 * Temp * Temp * Temp));
Temp = Temp - 273.15; // Convert Kelvin to Celcius
return Temp;
}
void setup() {
lcd.begin(16,2);
lcd.clear();
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop() {
Serial.println(int(Thermister(analogRead(0)))); // display Fahrenheit
lcd.print(int(Thermister(analogRead(0))));
lcd.print(" degress C");
delay(100);
lcd.clear();
}

can anyone please tell me why RawADC is undefined in my code
Thanks in advance

Hi! I am making a project on temperature measurements with arduino uno and thermistor. I am using the voltage divider method to determine the resistance of the thermistor, and the steinhart model for temperature calculations. However, when I tested it on a boiling water the resistance obtained by the setup where not the same on the multimeter readings, so that, instead of obtaining a temperature of 100 deg Celsius I obtained higher than that ranging from 101 deg Celsius-116 deg Celsius. Do you have any suggestions on how can I fix that?

Could you upload the code you're using to http://pastebin.com/ ?

same here.. when i verify the program, it says that "Lcd crystal does not name a type".. what to do guys?..

hi, can you help me your code says lcd. was not declared in this scope. what should I do?

Hiya!
Mine predicted global warming......
It reads 351*C All the time....
I didnt have an LCD Screen handy at the time, so I changed the code to send it to serial....
What have I done wrong??

I'm not the author, but maybe I can help. Can you post the code you are using?
Did you miss this line: "Temp = Temp - 273.15;" To convert from Kelvin to Celsius?

I can not find the list of parts used. Or how to build it. Could you help out a little more. Looks like a good project.

Sorry about that, the parts list is up now along with a more clear diagram...

never mind i didnt know the math library was automatically included, but not actually in the libraries folder

i cant seem to find where to download the math library, could you send me the link?
