ESP8266 and LM75 temperature sensor example

The LM75 temperature sensor includes a delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter, and a digital overtemperature detector. The host can query the LM75 through its I²C interface to read temperature at any time. The open-drain overtemperature output (OS) sinks current when the programmable temperature limit is exceeded.

The OS output operates in either of two modes, comparator or interrupt. The host controls the temperature at which the alarm is asserted (TOS) and the hysteresis temperature below which the alarm condition is not valid (THYST). Also, the LM75’s TOS and THYST registers can be read by the host.

The address of the LM75 is set with three pins to allow multiple devices to work on the same bus. Power-up is in comparator mode, with defaults of TOS = +80°C and THYST = +75°C. The 3.0V to 5.5V supply voltage range, low supply current, and I²C interface make the LM75 ideal for many applications in thermal management and protection.

Here is a module that you can buy for this device

Parts List

Here are the parts I used

Layout

Being an I2C device you can power it from 3.3 or 5v, in this case we use 3.3v

Code

I used the following library – https://github.com/jlz3008/lm75

#define VERSION "1.1"

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <Wire.h>

#include <lm75.h>

TempI2C_LM75 termo = TempI2C_LM75(0x48,TempI2C_LM75::nine_bits);


void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Start");
Serial.print("Actual temp ");
Serial.print(termo.getTemp());
Serial.println(" oC");
delay(2000);
}

void loop()
{
Serial.print(termo.getTemp());
Serial.println(" oC");
delay(5000);
}

Output

Open the serial monitor and you should see something like this

31.37 oC
30.12 oC
29.37 oC
28.75 oC
28.37 oC
27.87 oC
27.50 oC
27.25 oC
27.00 oC
