A I2C controlled, LCD enabled Thermometer

Here's a demonstration of a very tiny Arduino project: It's a microcontroller driven very precise digital thermometer.

1 Ingredients =

• Arduino Mini Pro
• JHD 162A LCD display
• SE95 I2C temperature sensor
• 25 kiloOhm Poti
• 1 kiloOhm Poti
• Breadboard
• 3x AA Alkaline cell

2 Program

Here's the sketch:

#include <Wire.h>

#define tmpaddress 0x48

void setup()
{
  Wire.begin();
  Serial.begin(1200);
}

void loop()
{
  // get the temperature
  Wire.beginTransmission(tmpaddress);
  Wire.send(0x00);
  Wire.requestFrom(tmpaddress, 1);
  int temperature = 0;
  if (Wire.available()) {
    temperature = Wire.receive();
  }
  Wire.endTransmission();

  Serial.println("-----------");
  Serial.println(temperature-3);
  delay(1000);
}
