Arduino: Ambient Temperature Display

The document describes using an Arduino Uno to display temperature readings from an LM35 temperature sensor on a 4-digit 7-segment display. It includes code to read the temperature sensor, convert the analog reading to Celsius, and display the temperature digits sequentially on the display. The wiring diagram and bitmaps for the display digits are provided. It also discusses converting floating-point temperature readings to character strings for display.

Refer to the LM35 Temperature sensor datasheet posted on Titanium:


Example
/*
prints the temperature to the Serial Monitor
*/

const int inPin = 0; // analog pin

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
int value = analogRead(inPin);
Serial.print(value); Serial.print(" > ");
float millivolts = (value / 1024.0) * 5000;
float celsius = millivolts / 10; // sensor output is 10mV/Celsius
Serial.print(celsius);
Serial.print(" degrees Celsius, ");
Serial.print( (celsius * 9)/ 5 + 32 ); // converts to fahrenheit
Serial.println(" degrees Fahrenheit");
delay(1000); // wait for one second
}

The wiring below was used for the example on the next slide.

void Num_Write(int);

void setup()
{
// configure display driver pins

pinMode(i, OUTPUT);
// turn off all digits
for (int i=0; i < 4; i++) {
digitalWrite(10 + i, LOW);
}
// turn off all segments
for (int i=0; i < 8; i++) {
digitalWrite(2 + i, HIGH);
}
}
Using the 4-digit 7-segment Display
void loop()
{
//counter loop
for (int digit=0; digit < 4; digit++) {
// turn on selected digit
digitalWrite(10 + digit, HIGH);
for (int counter = 10; counter > 0; --counter)
{
delay(1000);
Num_Write(counter-1);
}
delay(3000);
// turn off selected digit
digitalWrite(10 + digit, LOW);
}
}

// this functions writes numeric values to the 7-seg digit


void Num_Write(int number)
{
int pin= 2;
for (int j=0; j < 8; j++) {
digitalWrite(pin, num_array[number][j]);
pin++;
}
}
Displaying Floating-Point Numbers

• Convert floating-point value to character array. How?


Use the function dtostrf to convert floating-point value
to string (do your own research on how to use this
function)
• Convert each numerical character to number by using:
num = num_character – ‘0’;
• Display one numerical digit at a time from left to right
• Checking for the decimal-point in the string array and
turn on the DP on the corresponding digit
