WEEK 3: 15TH AUGUST 2012


Title             : Make some changes on the project component.

Objective     : 1) To change the LM35DZ to thermistor.

Procedure   : 1) The LM35DZ have to be change to thermistor.

Results      : 1) The thermistor output is non linear which is                                      suitable for this project.

Thermistor resistance vs temperature

                    2) Thermistor or thermal resistor is thermal sensitive                           resistor. It means its resistance changes with                                   temperature. This change in resistance character                           divides the thermistor into two types, depending in                         the way it responds to the temperature.

                    3)   Positive Temperature Coefficient thermistor.                               (PTC)
               ·        thermistors exhibit an increase in electrical                        resistance when subjected to an increase in                      body temperature

                    4)   Negative Temperature Coefficient thermistor.                            (NTC)
              ·        thermistors exhibit a decrease in electrical                         resistance when subjected to an increase in                     body temperature

Conclusion: The thermistor had been used to measure                                      temperature for Smart Chicken Coop because it is                          inexpensive, rugged, reliable and respond quickly.                          The thermistor that will be use is NTC 10k.
