Lesson 14 Temperature Monitoring and Alarm

Share for us

Introduction

In this lesson, we will use a thermistor and a buzzer to make a temperature monitoring and alarm system.

Components

– 1*Raspberry Pi

– 1*Breadboard

– 1*Network cable (or USB wireless network adapter)

– 1*Thermistor

– 1*Buzzer

– 1*NPN transistor (8050)

– 1*Resistor (1KΩ)

– 1*Resistor (10KΩ)

– 1*ADC0832

– Jumper wires

Experimental Principle

We use an ADC0832 to convert the analog temperature collected by the thermistor to digital temperature. When the result is greater than 200 degrees Celsius, the buzzer will alarm.

Experimental Procedures

Step 1: Connect the circuit

Step 2: Edit and save the code(see path/Rpi_BasicKit/14_tempMonitor/tempMonitor.c)

Step 3: Compile the code

gcc  tempMonitor.c  -lwiringPi

Step 4: Run the program

./a.out 

Press Enter, if use a lighter to burn the thermistor, you will hear the buzzer alarm.
