Digital thermometer with LM35 and PIC16F88

This can be a complete project on its own - a simple DIY digital thermometer with 7-segment displays and only a handful of parts - the PIC16F88, LM35 and a small number of resistors and capacitors running off a regulated 5v supply.
Temperature range - 0 to 150'C
Display type - 3 digit multiplexed 7 segment or 3 individual 7 segments
Controller: PIC16F88
Programming Language: BASIC
Compiler: mikroBASIC PRO for PIC v3.20

Complete code:

  1. Tahmid,i am shrinidhi.ilike ur blog.

    i am working on a control sys, that senses temperature & humidity.
    i plan to use 16f877 for this, is it okie??

    it's an academic project..wish to complete within 2 months.

    Will be of great help if you can guide on this.

  2. Tahmid, i am using an LM34 instead of an LM35 for a project on my own. I was wondering how you would change the code in order to be able to use the LM34 instead of the LM35. Thanks alot.

  4. I am so sorry for the late reply. Had my exams and so was very busy.

    Anyways, if it isn't too late, Sabi, what kind of help do you want from me? I'll try to help if you can clarify your project.

    Shrinidhi, if it isn't too late, I might try to help.

  5. Tahmid,

    Like Shrinidhi, I also plan to use pic 16f877 for the project ... will it work?

    thanks,

  6. You can use 16F877, but it has a different pin-out, so you cannot use it as is (obviously). Plus the code needs to be recompiled with changes for 16F877.

  7. hey guys, can you show me how the circuit looks like in reality because i'm having problems with my experimental part... or can someone tell me a site where i can find it.

  8. Hallo!
    I've build the temp meter circuit but can't figure out the connections correctly from the resistors,
    I can see it starts to work but the 7 segments do not show up correctly.
    Any advice?Chris email hollybrand@telkomsa.net

  9. Hi Tahmid!
    That's a great project. I'm newbie in PIC programming, but I would like to build this circuit with minor modifications such as using internal oscillator instead of XT and temperatur range -55 to 150 C. How can i modify the source code?
    Anyway, is it possible to build this project using 16F886 instead of 16F88 with 2 LM 35 sensor and 2 x 3 digit 7 segment display?
    Thanks for advising.

    Zsolt

  10. Can we convert this temp indicator program in bad out put instead 7 segment . Please write
    Thanks
