How to Use Diodes, Transistors, ICs as Temperature Sensors
Normally we find thermistors being used as the sensor for detecting and monitoring temperatures in electronic circuits. However, ordinary semiconductor components like transistors and diodes actually work better than thermitors when it comes to detecting temperature changes. In fact, this feature happens to be one of the greatest drawbacks of semiconductor devices, whose working characteristics […]
Incubator Using Arduino with Automatic Temperature and Humidity control
In this post I will show how to construct an incubator using Arduino which can self-regulate its temperature and humidity. This project was suggested by Mr. Imran yousaf who is an avid reader of this website. Introduction This project was designed as per the suggestions from Mr. Imran, but some additional modification is done to […]
Contactless Sensors – Infrared, Temperature/Humidity, Capacitive, Light
In this article I have explained a few highly advanced contactles sensors such as infrared sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, light sensor which can be used for crucial and sensitive industrial applications, and manufacturing plants. Texas Instruments (TI) introduced the growth of its industry-leading sensing integrated circuits with the inclusion of 4 innovative products that […]
2 Simple Arduino Temperature Meter Circuits Explored
In this article, I will show how to construct a couple of easy Arduino temperature meter circuits which can be also used as a LED room thermometer circuit. The circuit is designed to display the readings in doted/bar LEDs. This project can be implemented for applications where ambient temperature plays a crucial role or it […]
Temperature Controlled DC Fan Circuits
Have you ever turned up your amplifier all the way, either at a party or just for fun? You may have noticed that “it gets hot” and thought that a fan would be useful. However, at low listening levels, you can hear the fan running. With this circuit, the fan will be automatically controlled by […]
