Temperature Sensor LM35 with Arduino in Easy Steps

Here we will setup Temperature Sensor LM35 with Arduino in Easy Steps
We all use weather applications to know the current temperature. This requires the Internet. So if I say you can know your area temperature without the Internet, how it will be?

In this post, I will share how to get local area temperature using LM35 Temperature Sensor with Arduino UNO Board.

What is LM35 Temperature Sensor?

LM35 is an integrated analogue temperature sensor whose electrical output is proportional to Degree Centigrade. LM35 Sensor does not require any external calibration or trimming to provide typical accuracies.

LM35 Temperature Sensor with Arduino UNO

It has 3 pins – two pins are 5V and Ground. The middle pin is Voltage out. We use the reading of this pin to determine the temperature using some arithmetic calculation.
Because of this is a single sensor, it does not give accurate temperature. If you want accurate temperature, you can you DHT22 Sensor.

Connect LM35 with Arduino

Following Connection Diagram you can see how to connect LM35 with Arduino UNO.

Code Explain for LM35 with Arduino

We are here using 5V pin as we want 5 Volt input. SO we have calculated temperature by taking 5 Volt input to LM35.

After calculating we are displaying the temperature in serial monitor in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
