Detect the Temperature of Water

Aim of the Experiment:

To measure the temperature of water using DS18B20 Temperature sensor.

Description:

The DS18B20 is one type of temperature sensor and it supplies 9-bit to 12-bit readings of temperature. These values show the temperature of a particular device. The communication of this sensor can be done through a one-wire bus protocol which uses one data line to communicate with an inner microprocessor. Additionally, this sensor gets the power supply directly from the data line so that the need for an external power supply can be eliminated. The applications of the DS18B20 temperature sensor include industrial systems, consumer products, systems that are sensitive thermally, thermostatic controls, and thermometers.

Hardware Requirements:

  • Arduino UNO

  • DS18B20 temperature sensor (one or multiple sensors) – waterproof version

  • 4.7k Ohm resistor

  • Breadboard

  • Jumper wires
