MCP9808 5110 LCD

Hello mates!

In this short instructable i will show you how to display temperature readings from the MCP9808 I2C sensor with an Arduino and a Nokia5110 LCD display.

The Sensor

Shortly: The MCP9808 is (in theory of course) is a high precision temperature sensor which is using the I2C bus of Arduino. So wee need only 4 wires to connect it. And it was darn cheap :)

I was searching for new sensors for my arduino projects to build and since it was very cheap on Ali (1 dollar) i ordered two of theese sensors. I have a number of different displays laying around and of course i have chosen the Nokia 5110 LCD again (for simplicity ).

It's time to build our new thermometer :)

Materials Needed

The parts needed for this projects are:

- Arduino Uno, Nano etc.....

- A few jumper wires

- MCP9808 temperature sensor

- Nokia5110 LCD

- Libraries and sketch

Software

I created a very simple sketch to display the readings from the sensor. It is very straight forward and easy to understand.

Download and install the correct libraries included in the sketch.

First we include the correct libraries,set the measuring resolution of the sensor, create the objects for the sensor and display. Setup the serial, set temperature sensor address and finally setup the display to print the values.

We have to be careful to clear display in the void setup and void loop or othervise the display will blink in each second.

The results are displayed in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Easy or not??
