Comments on: Measure Temperature With the Arduino and the MC9700A http://www.kb6nu.com/measure-temperature-with-the-arduino-and-the-mc9700a/ Having fun with amateur radio Sun, 20 May 2012 15:37:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: N4GU http://www.kb6nu.com/measure-temperature-with-the-arduino-and-the-mc9700a/#comment-319514 N4GU Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:33:57 +0000 http://kb6nu.com/?p=2257#comment-319514 Another approach to measuring temperature with the Arduino is to use a Maxim DS18S20 precision 1-Wire thermometer. I'm using this in a project. This device is all digital, no A/D to worry about. You query it and it give you a 9-bit readout of temperature. Plus you can put multiple ones on the same 'bus' and read each one individually by querying them. It has higher accuracy and a larger temperature range than the MCP9700A. I've just starting playing with the Arduino and see lots of potential here. I'm an engineer, but not a programmer (I learned programming in Fortran on punch cards!) but have found the Arduino pretty straight forward to use. How long before we start seeing Arduino projects in QST? N4GU Another approach to measuring temperature with the Arduino is to use a Maxim DS18S20 precision 1-Wire thermometer.
