Title: AVR mcu based thermostat with 7 segment LED and PTC (or NTC)? Post by: firewalker on April 18, 2009, 03:23:45 15:23 Is there any AVR mcu based thermostat (3 digit accuracy) with 7 segment LED and PTC (or NTC)?
I have found several thermostat projects using an AVR mcu. The most of them uses a smart display an a sensor DSxxx. I would also find handy if you know anything for other (not avr mcu based, or without an mcu) thermostats with 7 segment display and an PTC or NTC?

So what is it you want ? Title: Re: AVR mcu based thermostat with 7 segment LED and PTC (or NTC)? Post by: firewalker on April 18, 2009, 04:55:37 16:55 My primary goal was an avr based, seven segment display thermostat using a NTC or a PTC. I have searched for hours over the net. I didn't found anything. So I suspected that I won't find someone how knows something for such a thermostat. But, I had to ask.
My second goal was avr mcu-less thermostat. Maybe I should have posted a new thread to "general-electronics". Title: Re: AVR mcu based thermostat with 7 segment LED and PTC (or NTC)? Post by: avrPassion on April 18, 2009, 06:12:15 18:12 Hi
It is so simple to design a thermostat yourself. All members of ATmega family have 10 bit ADC which is enough for 3 digit. to do signal conditioning on a sensor such as pt100 you should pass 100uA from it and then measure the voltage on it. You can use an OP07 op-amp to amplify the output voltage. If you want, i can draw the circuit and post it here. Title: Re: AVR mcu based thermostat with 7 segment LED and PTC (or NTC)?

Post by: Manuel on April 18, 2009, 07:23:13 19:23 Well, related 2 3 DIGIT 7 segment LED display unit U can use a 0..100mV voltmeter from RS or FARNEL i'd say....then you can use a silicon based sensor such as MCP9700 from m..chip and a little OP circuitry just 2 enter in the range of the voltmeter....and the job is done.
maybe something like 522-339 from RS...expencive but functional... A processor based can be realized and U will spend no more than 7$....but some rework will be involved in.... Tell us what would you like 2 to @ the end? Let me tell you that U can also consider a sampling request from LASCAR. http://www.lascar.co.uk/press/pdf/PR-10-02-UK.pdf at a cost of £15.50 CU X. |
