Introduction
Temperature Sensor DS18B20 is a commonly used digital temperature sensor featured with small size, low-cost hardware, strong anti-interference capability and high precision. The digital temperature sensor is easy to wire and can be applied a various occasions after packaging. Different from conventional AD collection temperature sensors, it uses a 1-wire bus and can directly output temperature data.
Components
– 1 * SunFounder Uno board
– 1 * USB data cable
– 1 * DS18B20 Temperature Sensor module
– 1 * I2C LCD1602
– 1 * 3-Pin anti-reverse cable
– 1 * 4-Pin anti-reverse cable
– 1 * Dupont wire (F to F)
Experimental Principle
With a unique single-wire interface, DS18B20 requires only one pin for a two-way communication with a microprocessor. It supports multi-point networking to measure multi-point temperatures. Eight DS18B20s can be connected at most, because too many of them will consume too much of the power supply and cause low voltage thus instability of signal transmission. The schematic diagram is as follows:
Experimental Procedures
Step 1: Build the circuit
Step 2: Program (Please refer to the example code in LEARN -> Get Tutorial on our website)
Note: Here you need to add a library. Refer to the description in Lesson 1 previously in the manual.
Step 3: Compile
Step 4: Upload the sketch to SunFounder Uno board
Now, you can see the value of current temperature displayed on the LCD.
