LM35 Testing

26mV is only 2.6 degrees C... Is it freezing in India??? The number 15 represents 1.5 degrees C... YOU need to implement the decimal point!!

26mV is only 2.6 degrees C...

Sorry it is..
.260V 260mV 26*C at lm 35
Now how to convert to micro controller.

Show me what you have done..

Hello,

You need to cast here!!!! ADRESH is a byte int... so multiplying by 500 won't do any good..

C:

long ADCresult;

ADCresult = ( unsigned int) ADRESH << 2) + (ADRESL >>6);

ADCresult *= 500;
ADCresult /=1024;
PORTD = 4;
PORTB = digits[ADCresult /100];
PORTD = 2;
PORTB = (digits[ADCresult % 100 /10] ) +DP; //  the decimal place
PORTD = 1;
PORTB = digits[ADCresult % 10];

koolguy · Jul 22, 2015

ADCresult =(unsignedint) ADRESH <<2)+(ADRESL >>6);

ADCresult *=500

Hello,
unsignedint from where this come?
and what is the need of 500 here?
logic behind it?

It is called a cast!! ADRESH is a byte.... 0~255... Multiplying this with 500 wont do yo much good!

Assume 255.. 255 is the largest number that ADRESH will hold 255 << 2 = 1020.. So when you cast ADRESH to an int the 1020 will fit!

koolguy · Jul 22, 2015

Is it a syntax ??
and

Multiplying this with 500 wont do yo much good

what is the reason of multiplying it with 500?

Hello,
The lm35 again has damage i think it is getting very hot with 6V.
the output is directly connected to ADC.

koolguy · Jul 22, 2015

ericgibbs said:
Try this, post what you measure.

getting hot now, before it was fine.

koolguy · Jul 22, 2015

Hello,
The ADC is when connected to gnd give 000
and at 6V directly it response 848, why?

Ian Rogers · Jul 22, 2015

You better show us your schematic.... Is your electric supply extremely noisy in India... Have you put decoupling caps on the rail..... Why have you 6V on the LM35 and the pic is running at 5V???

koolguy · Jul 22, 2015

OK, I Will connect the 7805 with capacitor.

koolguy · Jul 23, 2015

Hello,
Now it is 7805 with Capacitor of 22 uF on both side.
Please tell how to solve the problem of lm35 it is getting hot and after this the ADC at 0v giving 000 and 5v it i s 484 irregular number..

What do you mean... 0v = 0 and 5v = 484..... where is the 5v coming from??? The LM35 should only EVER produce 1.5v

koolguy · Jul 24, 2015

OK, i have seen there was fault in 7805 regulator i have changed it!
Rated for Full −55°C to 150°C Range it is gone to 157*C i have kept soldering iron on it!
placing ice only take 9*C

what this mean
Suitable for Remote Applications
Low-Cost Due to Wafer-Level Trimming
Low Self-Heating, 0.08°C in Still Air
Non-Linearity Only ±¼°C Typical
Low-Impedance Output, 0.1 Ω for 1-mA Load

You can test tranx, capacitors, coils even IC with a meter. So what it will not tell you if it is good or how good it is and if it is bad will not tell you how bad it is. It is an indicator that is all.

koolguy · Jul 24, 2015

ADCresult *=500;
ADCresult /=1024;

The ADC is 10 bit result ok
then we multiply it by 500 and divide by 1024, what this mean?
logic behind it?

Did you do math at school???

If you want to measure 0 ~ 5v.... With a 10 bit ADC... 0 = 0 and 5 = 1023 Okay!

if you want 2 decimal precision then you a) use floating point unit

result = ADCresult *5.0v / 1024... this will give you 0.00 ~ 5.00v

or b) you use fixed math.

result = ADCresult * 100 * 5 / 1024.. this will give you 0 ~ 500v so you can insert your own decimal place...

I have only just combined the 5 and the 100

result = ADCresult * 500 / 1024.. this will also give you 0 ~ 500v so you can insert your own decimal place...

koolguy · Jul 27, 2015

If you want to measure 0 ~ 5v.... With a 10 bit ADC... 0 = 0 and 5 = 1.023 Okay!

From where 1.023 comes here?
