Hi
I hv managed to practice with a LM35DZ with my 18F4550 and it was quite straightforward.
I have a broken home thermometer, one of those that has a LCD panel and an external probe that allows you to measure both inside and outside temperature. Out of curiosity, I cracked up the plastic covering the external probe and found it to be a bead-like component.
From what I read, this is a NTC thermistor. And from what I can google, it seems that a lot of commercially made probes are NTC based. In fact, I was not able to find one that uses ICs-based like the LM35 or DS18B20, except DIY-ones.
I am just curious abt what is being experimented at home and what's being produced outside. Will one get out of touch as a result, at least in the temperature arena. Are there examples of C codes working with these thermistors.
Thks!
