We can substitute a thermistor for the 10K pot in program #9 and we have a thermometer. The major problem is calibration of the thermistor. We must make up a table of temperature values for each TMR0 reading we get. You can see the ones I came up with at the end of the program. Just by luck it covered the temperature range I was interested in without changing the prescalar ratio, (it stays at 1:16). The temperatures are degrees Fahrenheit and the low numbers after 99 are 100 and up.
The thermistor has a room temperature value of about 9K. Peter Anderson, ( http://www.phanderson.com), sells them for $0.65. He also sells the National LM35DZ thermometer for about $1.25 that you can use to calibrate the thermistor. You will need something like digital multimeter to read LM35 at 10 mV/ deg F, (just add a battery). I placed the thermistor and thermometer together in a stirred bath of ice water which I let heated up. I took tmr0 readings and temperature about every degree or so. Putting the values in Excel allowed me to fit a quadratic and create a table of temperature vs TMR0 reading. The values occur in two tables with the integer 2 digits in one and the single fractional digit in the other.
You will notice that I placed the tables at H'200' and H'300'which are the 3rd and 4th pages of '84 program memory. This brings up a problem you may encounter with the program counter. 'Goto' and 'call' can modify the program counter and reach any place in the 16F84's program space. If you modify PCL, ( Program Counter Low byte ), you can make a change of only 256 locations, the size of one page. The high byte of the program counter, the page bits, are not directly available. Any instruction, other than goto or call or return, that modifies PCL also causes the page bits of the program counter to be loaded from a register called PCLATH.
PCLATH seems to be initialized to zero. As long as our table stays in page 0 everything is O.K. If we place our table on another page, we have to preload PCLATH with the page every time we access the table. This is done in the main loop, 'sholoop' where 2 is loaded in to PCLATH before temptable is called. Things get more complicated when a table crosses a page boundary. We simplify things by making sure our table stays within one page.
The thermometer is probably not very accurate. The LM35DZ I used could have been off although it did read 31.9 deg F in the ice bath. The quadratic deviates from the real curve at the upper and lower end. It gives a ice point value 2 degrees high, (TMR0 value at ice point was 65). Higher order polynominals seemed to wiggle around too much. You can probably come up with a better fit and something to check the LM35.

Questions:
hi i have a similar task to do but with a pic18f452. i also need to send the data to the usart. however, the usart only accepts a maximum of 9 bits. what do i do? safrazali51@yahoo.comJames Newton of James Newton's Massmind replies: After sending the first 9 bits, send another 9? Actually, people usually send 8 bits at a time.+
Could this be used for high temps, say 2000-2500 degrees F? What types of areas would I need to look into? Could I substitute a thermocouple for a thermistor? Calibrate it with a Dickson B2500 thermometor?+
btw this temperature sensor uses 3 AA batteries? and wats the line symbol stand for between the two 34p capacitors and a thermositor can be esily get? got any component no. for me? sorri i'm a newbie in electronics..+
lets say i use this thermositor has the temperature sensor but i want to add on a ventilation system, as in when it hits 60 degree it will turn on the fan n buzzer and when it drop to 59 it will turn it off again so how are u suppose to connect it to the circuit and write the code it has been puzzling me for weeks.. pls help+
Comments:
I also need to send data from the pic to the lcd but i need to use c language. any ideas on how to convert from binary to ascii using c language i tried the atoi function but it does not workJames Newton of Massmind replies: Try sprintf().+
