Lesson 19--Microduino "Sampling ADC of internal reference source"

Objective When using LM35, voltage increased 10mv, corresponding temperature rises 1℃, there is a linear relationship between them, therefore, it needs high stablility for the voltage. This experiment will collect temperature combine LM35 by calling Microduino internal reference source (3.3V or 1.1V voltage). Equipment Microduino-Core Microduino-FT232R Other hardware equipment Breadboard Jumper one box Breadboard one piece LM35D sensor one USB Data cable one Digital multimeter one Experimental schematic The VCC pin of LM35 connects to 5V,GND connect to GND,and VOUT connect to A0. Experiment One Use Microduino-Ft232RL power Program void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); //Set the baud rate 115200 pinMode(A0, INPUT); } void loop() { int n = analogRead(A0); //Read the voltage from A0 port double vol = n * (5.0 / 1024.0*100); //Use double type variable to save the temperature value which converted from voltage Serial.println(vol); //Output the temperature from serial delay(1000); //Wait for 1s to refresh data } The data in serial monitor： Experiment two Use Microduino internal reference source 1.1V to calcuate temperature value Program void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); //Set the baud rate 115200 analogReference(INTERNAL); //Invoke 1.1V onboard power souce } void loop() { int n = analogRead(A0); //Read the voltage from A0 port double vol = n * (1.1 / 1024.0*100); //Use double type variable to save the temperature value which converted from voltage Serial.println(vol); //Output the temperature from serial delay(1000); //Wait for 1s to refresh data } The data in serial monitor： Experiment three Use Microduino internal reference source 3.3V to calcuate temperature value Note：Use the aref pin as the base source, connect the 3.3V base source to aref pin of Microduino Use the 3.3V as the external base source, please refer to：http://www.geek-workshop.com/thread-5717-1-1.html Program void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); //Set the baud rate 115200 analogReference(EXTERNAL); //Use the aref pin as the base source, connect the 3.3V base source to aref pin } void loop() { int n = analogRead(A0); //Read the voltage from A0 port double vol = n * (3.3 / 1024.0*100); //Use double type variable to save the temperature value which converted from voltage Serial.println(vol); //Output the temperature from serial delay(1000); //Wait for 1s to refresh data } The data in serial monitor： Analysis Use three methods to test the temperature and got three different value. Use the USB power, the result is beter. The power voltage is 4.99V, deviating from the 5 v voltage is 0.2% Use internal 1.1V and 3.3V souce, after a bulk sample, the average error range of 1.1V internal reference source is about 1.22%, up 2.2%. Under 5V range, the Arduino ADC sampling precision is 10bit that is 1024 level, minimum resolution is 5/1024=0.0048828125V=4.8828125mV Under 3.3V internal source range, the Arduino ADC sampling precision is 10bit and the minimum resolution is 3.3/1024=0.00322265625V=3.22265625mV Under 1.1V internal source range, the Arduino ADC sampling precision is 10bit and the minimum resolution is 1.1/1024=0.00107421875V=1.07421875mV For LM35, every 10mv represents 1℃, so under 5V range, resolution close to 0.5 degrees, Under 3.3V range resolution close to 0.3 degrees, Under 1.1V range resolution close to 0.1 degrees. Result According to the above analysis, use USB power supply, the reference source error is smaller then other power relatively. USB power supply temperature closer to the real temperature, when the power supply isn't stable, the internal reference source will play a role. If require a higher precision, then need to use the external precision reference source. Referance error is smaller, and the accuracy of the ADC is higher too. According to the requirement to choose suitable reference source in all kinds of production is also very important. Video
