Hi im new on the forum, i saw how good it was and joined hoping you guys could help me.
Im doing a BTEC national diploma in electronics and electrical and i have been asked to do a year long project for the course.
This project invovles me designing and making a electronics circuit, but having me making the circuit so it works at the end of the year is only 20% of the final mark, the rest of the project is ALL paper work .
So i have been looking and encouraged by my tutors to look on the internet to find a project and its circuit diagram already done for you, so all you have to do is use the circuit diagram and make the circuit your self quickly, so you will have enough time to complete all the paper work.
I have decided to make a Temperature sensor circuit which is connected to a 7 seg display or LCD display; all i need it to do i record the temperature and then display it, no more no less.
So im just asking if anyone knows of any good sites or ciruit designs out there, in books or on online to help me out, any advice would be greatly appreiated as well.
At the moment the idea i have in my head is just a simple thyristor temperature sensor which goes through a A to D convertor which is then connect to a PIC or other chip which will then display the temperture on the 7 seg/LCD display.
Thanks for any help in advance and sorry for the long thread
