3. Sensor Selection  We wanted to use some kind of temperature sensor because it seemed like it would be the most practical.  We looked at the temperature sensors suggested in the project manual.  We also visited and did research on some other temperature sensors.  In the end, the analog AD22103 temperature sensor was chosen.

The AD22103 Ratio-metric temperature sensor Ratio-metric temperature sensor Sensor’s output voltage is proportional to the power supply voltage. Sensor’s output voltage is proportional to the power supply voltage. 100 °C temperature span 100 °C temperature span (0 °C to °C ) Accuracy better that ± 2.5% Accuracy better that ± 2.5%

The Ad22103 cont. Because the sensor outputs a voltage that is proportional to the temperature, the code necessary to implement this sensor was very simple. Because the sensor outputs a voltage that is proportional to the temperature, the code necessary to implement this sensor was very simple. It can be ordered either as an SO-8 (SOIC) pin configuration or a TO-92 pin configuration. It can be ordered either as an SO-8 (SOIC) pin configuration or a TO-92 pin configuration. It was obvious to choose the TO-92 3 pin design because it was much easier to make connections with the board.

4. Implementation of the Ad22103 A small circuit board was purchased along with a 3 prong-plug to create a mounting base for the sensor. Wires were also soldered to the board for easy connections.

Only a few lines of code had to be added to the given sensor.c file. Only a few lines of code had to be added to the given sensor.c file.

Code Continued…  After studying the data sheet and the given sensor.c file, we realized that the majority of the work was already done for us.  The only thing that had to be done was create code that would solve for the correct value of T_a and display the correct value on the LCD. V_out = (V_s/3.3 V) x [0.25 V + (28.0 mV/ °C ) x T_a]  V_s = 2.86 V which was the voltage provided by the V_cc from the board.  V_out = sample which is already a known value from the given sensor.c file

More on the Code… This was the code that had to be implemented to solve for the values of Celsius and Fahrenheit. As you can see to the code on your left, we declared two new variables Cel and Fah to denote the values of temperature in both scales.

Extra Information on the Code We realized that the refresh rate on of the board was quite slow and we wanted to see if there is any way we could change the rate so it would be a little faster. We realized that the refresh rate on of the board was quite slow and we wanted to see if there is any way we could change the rate so it would be a little faster. We looked at and try to understand the delay.C and lcd.C files, but we were unable to locate where the refresh rate was located. We looked at and try to understand the delay.C and lcd.C files, but we were unable to locate where the refresh rate was located. The refresh rate is located in the sensor.C file and we thought that all we had to do was change the value to something a little smaller. However, this was not the case.

The refresh rate of 1000 ms seemed to be pretty good and another version of code was created in order to display temperature in Celcius and Fahrenheit.
