>Hi, > Is there anyone can provide me info. on how to make a thermometer using > PIC? What are your constraints? Easy programming? Cost? Temperature range? High precision? Here are just a few ideas... Easy programming - how about hanging an LM35 sensor and a cheap op-amp onto the analog input of a 16C6xx Low cost - use a thermistor and a 7555 or similar to make a temperature dependent oscillator. Calibrate this in software. Wide temperature range - use a type-K thermocouple and a AD595 cold junction compensator/amplifier. Feed this into a 12 bit a-to-d with a serial interface. High Precision - Use a platinum resistance thermometer and a commercial linearisation module (or design your own if you feel brave) Feed this into a 16 bit a-to-d with a serial interface. I hope these are some help, Keith. ========================================================== Keith Dowsett "Variables won't; constants aren't."
