[Edward], creator of the Cave Pearl project, an underwater data logger, needed a way to measure temperature with a microcontroller. Normally, this problem is most easily solved by throwing a ...

Conventional thermostats are based on separate temperature sensor and heater devices with means for feedback between them. But in some recent EDN design ideas (DIs) we’ve seen thermostat designs that ...

The past month or so I’ve been playing with the Maxim DS1307 Real-Time-Clock and DS1621 Temperature Sensor ICs. I hooked them up to an Arduino Uno board with a Parallax Serial 16×2 Character LCD. I ...

This idea describes an MCU interface for a 1-Wire temperature sensor interface that offers high accuracy while using less board space. The circuit can be modified for use with any 1-Wire device. The ...
