Today we are going to look at five different sensors that can be used to measure temperature with an Arduino.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of these devices are inexpensive and easy to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n

When designing projects around microcontrollers like the Arduino it is often desirable to be able to measure temperature. There are many reasons you would want to do this.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may be using your Arduino to control a process where the temperature is critical. You might be designing an automated fan that switches on when the temperature exceeds a preset value. You may be building a data logger for a homebrew weather station.\u00a0 Perhaps you want to keep tabs on a GPU or CPU that\u2019s under a lot of stress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or you might just want to build your own digital thermometer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Arduino<\/p>\n

Each of these temperature measurement applications has different requirements. Your weather station data logger will need something precise. Some process control applications may require a sensor that can be immersed in liquid, or that works above the boiling point of water. The fan switch application won\u2019t require anything super-precise, but it may also require a humidity measurement as well.<\/span><\/p>\n
