Temperature Control with AdaFruit LCD Shield

Other Hardware General Electronics
1

Hi All,

Very new to Arduino and programming...

I need to control temperature on 4 DS18B20 sensors, What I want to do is be able to set the trigger temperature for each sensor using the adafruit LCD Shield buttons.

I will most probably change the 16x2 LCD for a 16x4 or even a 32x4LCD.

Thanks
Sakkie

Yes

What would the sketch look like to switch between the sensors using the buttons on the LCD shield? :blush:

You could have your code examine the buttons, if it was up/down you select the trigger variable in question.
Left/right would increment/decrement the value.
Use, buttons = lcd.readButtons(); to read the buttons.
May have to hold down the button for a fraction of a second to be detected.
