Portable Thermometer

Published in issue 379, July/August 2008

The small circuit described here is very easy to use and consumes so little current that it will work for the battery's shelf life. The circuit uses a standard LM35DZ sensor whose analogue output voltage is buffered by an LM358. The voltage is read by the microcontroller and converted into a BCD value so it can appear on the multiplexed 7-segment displays.
