Summary of Arduino Tutorial (LM35 Temp Sensor)
This Arduino tutorial explains how to connect an LM35 temperature sensor and write code to read data. It further details building a custom entertainment cooler for game systems using the sensor, a fan, and a servo motor powered by a 9V battery.
Parts used in the Entertainment Cooler:
- Arduino
- LM35 Temp Sensor
- 12V fan
- 2N3904 Transistor
- LED
- Servo Motor
- 9V battery
- 9V battery adapter
- Jumper Wires
In this Arduino tutorial I will demonstrate how to correctly connect the LM35 temperature sensor to the Arduino. I will also show you how to write the code necessary to obtain the temperature from the sensor.
I will also elaborate on the LM35 sensor and demonstrate a simple entertainment cooler that I have designed to keep my game systems cool while inside the entertainment center. Here is the parts list you will need in order to duplicate the entertainment cooler demonstrated in this video:
