What is a Temperature Sensor?
Similar to any other sensor, the Arduino Temperature Sensor is used to sense the temperature and quantify the temperature measured in a measurable quantity which is voltage in this case. Therefore, we can define the Arduino Temperature Sensor as a device that produces a voltage proportional to temperature change in the environment. The three pins in an Arduino temperature are used for setting the reference level, setting up 5V, and measuring the variable voltage.
Arduino is used for creating this sensor since it needs to be programmed to convert the measured temperature value to an appropriate voltage. This is what a temperature sensor looks like :
Arduino – Temperature Sensor
Sensors are widely used for sensing different quantities and quantifying them. One such example of a sensor is the temperature sensor which uses Arduino for displaying this temperature. The main feature of this sensor is that it can display the detected temperature on a Celsius scale.
In this article, we will study how to design this Temperature Sensor using the Arduino board and programming software. We will study the specifications needed for this sensor, and the methods and circuit diagrams used for designing this sensor. In addition to this, we will see the Arduino code written on IDE that will result in a sensor.
