Temperature Sensor(LM35) With LCD(JHD162A)

Intro: Temperature Sensor(LM35) With LCD(JHD162A)

Hey guys!
moxigen here. Since the summer's out here it's been scorching hot and has made me wonder what would be the temperature. Hence, I decided to put together some stuff to create a temperature sensor.

STEP 1: Materials Required

You would require the following parts:
1. A 16x2 LCD screen(JHD162A used in my case.

2. A 10k potentiometer.

3. LM35 temperature sensor

4. jumper wires

5.A breadboard

6. A Arduino Prototype( Arduino Mega 2560 used in my case)

STEP 2: Wire It Up

Connect the LCD and LM35 as shown.

STEP 3: Uploading the Code Via USB

#include
float temp;
int tempPin = 0;
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
}

void loop()
{
  temp = analogRead(tempPin);
  temp = temp * 0.48828125;
  Serial.print("TEMPRATURE = ");
  Serial.print(temp);
  Serial.print("*C");
  Serial.println();
  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  lcd.print("Temperature:");
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.print(temp);
  lcd.print("*c");
  delay(1000);
}

Glad to know that :)

i did all as above my lcd working well displaying but my lm35 getting heat and my arduino gets off may i know y

[MokshJadhav]

Please recheck which temperature sensor model you're using and check the wiring.

[rachitm96]

What if i replace the lcd screen with 7 segment displays?

[MokshJadhav]

I'll have the code forwarded to you, I've already done that project.
For assembling the stuff, check out my other instructable in which I've used 2 seven segment displays.

Yo! Buddy I'm Ritik....I'm Also 15. Well this is a nice instructable...Really enjoyed it.

But you could have used Backlight for the LCD,that would have looked very nice.

@RitikBharadwaj
connect the last pin on the right to GND and the 2nd last one to 3.3v(no resistor required) and the backlight would be on. I have shown it in my 3rd fritzing diagram.

SIR

please send some electronics projects with their circuits hex file and equipments required at this email.... [e-mail]
