Microcontroller Programming » Reading Resistance
August 28, 2010 by LindaEC |
Hello, I am using the tempsensor code, but instead of the senor I have added a resistor which is a 1k(R1) to 5v and a 10k(R2) to gnd, I am reading about 4.56v.What I want to do is insert this formula which will give me the resistance of R2. R2=R1/VIN/VOUT-1. I dont know where to insert it and what else I need to include to make this dispaly on the LCD. |

I would like to know how to do this as well. I am really new to using C so if you could post the code that you used for this I would be quite grateful. |

here you go // write message to LCD lcd_home(); lcd_write_string(PSTR("ADC: ")); lcd_write_int16(last_sample); lcd_write_string(PSTR(" of 1024 ")); lcd_line_two(); fprintf_P(&lcd_stream, PSTR("Res: %.2f"),1000/(5/temp_avg-1)); lcd_write_data(0xdf); lcd_write_string(PSTR("OHM ")); lcd_line_three(); lcd_write_string(PSTR(" ")); // write message to serial port printf_P(PSTR("%.2f degrees Frn"), temp_avg); |

Did you know that a thermometer can be made "faster" by using a bit of math? Learn more...
