 Mini Project On “Embedded systems and IoT Using ESP8266”

1. Introduction

In our daily lives, accurate temperature measurement plays a crucial role beyond the
realm of medical applications. From ensuring food safety to optimizing agricultural
practices, a reliable and versatile digital thermometer serves as an invaluable tool in
numerous settings. This project delves into the design and development of a non-medical
digital thermometer focused on everyday use and general-purpose applications.
Our primary objective is to create a user-friendly, accurate, and efficient device that
transcends the limitations of traditional thermometers. By leveraging fundamental
electronic principles and readily available components, we aim to develop a thermometer
that caters to diverse needs, offering:
 Precise temperature measurement

 Versatility for various applications

 Intuitive user interface
This report dives into the journey of bringing this project to life. We will explore the
design choices, component selection, circuit implementation involved in constructing our
non-medical digital thermometer. Additionally, we will present the testing and working
principle of the TMP Sensor.
In addition to it to successfully build our non-medical digital thermometer, we must
understand the inner workings of the circuits and their connections
We will utilize schematic capture software to graphically represent the circuit
components (sensors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) and their interconnectedness. This visual
layout allows for clear communication and identification of potential errors.

3. Explanation of Block Diagram:

Connections:
 The LM35 sensor is connected to analog pin A0 of the Arduino.
 The LCD is connected to digital pins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 of the
Arduino.
 The potentiometer is connected to 5V, ground, and analog pin 1 of the Arduino.

The LCD:
The LCD adds a visual dimension to the project, turning those numbers into easily
readable information. The characteristics of the LCD and connection with the Arduino, is
explained:

Pixels and Backlight: -

 The LCD is made up of tiny pixels controlled by the Arduino. Each pixel can be
turned on or off, creating characters and images.
A backlight illuminates the pixels, enhancing their visibility.

 Communication Protocol:
 The Arduino communicates with the LCD using a specific protocol, often 4-bit
mode in this case. This involves sending data in four-bit chunks for efficiency.
 Dedicated pins on the Arduino control various commands like setting cursor
position, clearing the screen, and displaying characters. Connection to the
Arduino:
 The LCD typically connects to multiple digital pins on the Arduino for
data, control signals, and power.
 A potentiometer is often used to adjust the contrast of the display, providing
optimal viewing conditions.

Connection to the Arduino:

 The LM35 has three simple connections: VCC (power), Ground, and Output.
 The VCC pin is connected to the Arduino's 5V rail, providing power to the sensor.
 The Ground pin connects to the Arduino's ground, establishing a common
reference point for electrical measurements.
 The Output pin, where the magic happens, connects to one of the Arduino's analog
input pins (usually A0). This is where the Arduino reads the voltage representing
the temperature.
 From Voltage to Temperature:
 The Arduino reads the voltage from the LM35 using
the analogRead() function. This function returns a digital value between 0 and
1023, proportional to the analog voltage.
 We then perform two crucial calculations:
 Convert digital value to voltage: Divide the digital value by 1023 and multiply by
5 (Arduino's reference voltage) to get the actual voltage.
 Convert voltage to temperature: Divide the voltage by the calibration factor (0.01
V/°C) to get the temperature in Celsius.

Algorithm:
1. Start
2. Initialize LCD: Set up the LCD screen.
3. Print Header: Display "Today's temp:" on the LCD screen.
4. Loop:
•Read Temperature: Get the temperature reading from the sensor.
•Convert to Fahrenheit: Calculate the temperature in Fahrenheit.
•Display Temperature: Show the temperature on the LCD screen.
5. Repeat Loop: Go back to step 4 and continue indefinitely.
