Temperature Monitoring System ECE342-Sp20

The Thermometer System monitors the temperature from two positions and records the temperature information. Then, it will display the figures on the PC. For this project, we use the thermistor for the temperature sensor and connect it with Arduino. Then, processing the data with Matlab. First, making the thermistor circuit is a voltage divider consisting of a fixed resistor and a variable resistor (the thermistor). The Arduino measures the voltage at a point between the two resistors, and converts it to resistance. Second, the coding in Arduino will calculate the temperature and give the data to Matlab. Serial Communication is a way to communicate Arduino and Matlab. Third, the data will store and display the figures on the PC by using Matlab. (we can see the Images4. The Figure1, there will be 4 temperatures in Celsius and Fahrenheit at 2 different positions. Figure2, Average temperatures in Celsius and Fahrenheit.) Finally, by testing, the user can use this project monitor the temperature from -50°C to 150 °C. The main challenge is the programming of this project. I spend a lot of time to transfer the data from Arduino to Matlab. For the improvement, the project right now can only show the temperature by sample time, so if I improve the project, I would like to improve the time. It may become test the temperature by a second or test the temperature when I push some button.
