Hi, I relatively new to programming and am just wondering what the best way would be to make a real-time temperature gauge using a DS18B20 and a servo,
Thanks for taking the time to read this and any assistance would be much appreciated,
Cheers,
John
What was your investment in finding an answer to your question?
Here's mine:
Yeah, I've looked through all the normal sources and spent hours searching around and trying but cannot find anything that uses it as a gauge, only a valve that opens at a certain temperature and I'm not skilled enough to complete the coding involved but thanks anyway
So you want the servo to move back and forth based on a temperature reading that is always changing?
Also curious as to what you want to do. I'm imagining a big thermometer with a servo driven hand.
What I would do is deal with each piece of hardware separately at first. I'd write a sketch to output the thermometer values to the serial monitor. Then I'd do a sketch to deal with the servo. Then I'd go back and combine them, using what I learned about them.
Why not use an LCD screen instead of a servo? I have a code that you can modify to work with a TFT screen.
Johndimo that's it basically yeah and I had attempted to code each and then piece it together but I couldn't quite get it working
I couldn't quite get it working
Post 'it' here and describe what 'it' does or doesn't do, then it will be easier to give advice
Hi, I relatively new to programming and am just wondering what the best way would be to make a real-time temperature gauge using a DS18B20 and a servo,
Start with the servo "knob" code example in the arduino IDE and then use the sensor output instead of the knob pot output.
Hi, I have made at one stage a humidy and temp display using a couple of servos as big meters, I only did it as an exercise but I may be able to find the sketch for you.
Otherwise try:
They may help, I'm sure I've seen one in instructables too.
