DIY Display the Temperature on LCD Screen Using Arduino
)
In this project, we are going to make a circuit using some components like Arduino, temperature sensor, etc. In this circuit the degree will be viewed continuously on the LCD, there is 100 milliseconds delay between the view of the new degree on the LCD and you can edit that time in the code, and when the temperature reaches a specific figure the light of the RGB LED will be changed to one of these colors red, green, blue, light blue, purple or yellow.
The wiring of the circuit will take approximately 30 minutes on average, so it is not hard to make one. And the coding will take approximately 10 minutes to finish it. For simulation your circuit you can use tinakercad to make sure that the circuit which you made is right. The temperature sensor will be responsible for sending the current temperature to the microcontroller, in this case, the microcontroller is an Arduino, the temperature sensor senses analog phenomena and it is the degree of the weather and it is analog then it that degree into voltages, because it is the language which the computers in general understand, and then in converts that analog voltages signals to digital singles because the microcontroller is digital and the weather is digital so we need something to convert that analog signal into a digital one to make the microcontroller be able to read it. The LCD will be responsible for viewing the temperature degree in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
