TMP175 sensor on a Nokia LCD4884 shield example on an Arduino

In this example we will display temperature readings from a TMP175 sensor on a Nokia LCD4884 shield

The TMP75 and TMP175 devices are digital temperature sensors ideal for NTC and PTC thermistor replacement. The devices offer a typical accuracy of ±1°C without requiring calibration or external component signal conditioning. IC temperature sensors are highly linear and do not require complex calculations or look-up tables to derive the temperature. The on-chip 12-bit ADC offers resolutions down to 0.0625°C. The devices are available in the industry standard LM75 SOIC-8 and MSOP-8 footprint.

The TMP175 and TMP75 feature SMBus, Two-Wire, and I²C interface compatibility. The TMP175 device allows up to 27 devices on one bus. The TMP75 allows up to eight 8 on one bus. The TMP175 and TMP75 both feature an SMBus Alert function.

The TMP175 and TMP75 devices are ideal for extended temperature measurement in a variety of communication, computer, consumer, environmental, industrial, and instrumentation applications.

Features

Parts List

A slightly different LCD4884 in the product link, about $20 for all of these parts

Connection

I didn’t have fritzing parts but hopefully this image will show you the connection

lcd4884 and TMP175

Code

You will need to add the Adafruit PCD8544 library in the Arduino IDE

This is for the Sainsmart and DFRobot LCD4884 shield, you may have to change this

Adafruit_PCD8544 display = Adafruit_PCD8544(2, 3, 4, 5, 6); //dfrobot lcd4884 shield

// Software SPI (slower updates, more flexible pin options):
