Water Temperature Detection

Introduction

This experiment demonstrates how to use a temperature sensor to measure the temperature of water using an Arduino.

Water Temperature Sensor

Components Needed

Circuit Setup

  1. Connect the temperature sensor’s VCC and GND pins to the 5V and GND pins on the Arduino.
  2. Connect the data pin of the sensor to a digital pin on the Arduino (e.g., D2).

The temperature sensor measures the temperature of the water, and the Arduino processes this value to give the water temperature.

Water Temperature Circuit Setup

Code for Water Temperature Measurement

Upload the following code to your Arduino to measure water temperature:


#include 
#include 

#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 2
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  sensors.begin();
}

void loop() {
  sensors.requestTemperatures();
  float temp = sensors.getTempCByIndex(0);
  Serial.print("Water Temperature: ");
  Serial.println(temp);
  delay(1000);
}

Explanation

The sensor reads the temperature of the water and sends this value to the Arduino, which processes it and outputs the result to the Serial Monitor.
