MCP9808 Temperature Sensor
|
|
##########################
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
Sample application that periodically reads temperature from the MCP9808 sensor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
************
|
|
|
|
The MCP9808 digital temperature sensor converts temperatures between -20 |deg|
|
|
C and +100 |deg| C to a digital word with |plusminus| 0.5 |deg| C (max.)
|
|
accuracy. It is I2C compatible and
|
|
supports up to 16 devices on the bus. We do not require pullup resistors on the
|
|
data or clock signals as they are already installed on the breakout board.
|
|
|
|
The MCP9808 is available in a discrete component form but it is much easier to
|
|
use it mounted on a breakout board. We used the Adafruit breakout board.

This sample uses the sensor APIs and the provided driver for the MCP9808 sensor.
|
|
|
|
Wiring
|
|
*******
|
|
|
|
The MCP9808 requires 2 wires for the I2C bus plus power and ground. The power
|
|
can be either 5V or 3.3V.
|
|
|
|
We connect the Data and clock wires to Analog ports A4 and A5 which is the I2C
|
|
pins on Arduino compatible boards.
|
|
|
|
In this hookup we are only connecting one device to one of the supported boards.
|
|
It reads the temperature and displays it on the console.
