Can anyone post more information on the best way to approach temperature logging on the 8055 board?
I am running a LM335 sensor between Analogue Input two and ground, taking a live feed from the pin on SK2. This works but produces a signal range from
2.73V at 0DegC to
3.73V at 100 degrees C.
This only gives a range of about 50 points on the analogue input so lacks much accuracy.
Two questions please:
1/ Is there a way of extending the voltage range to allow greater accuracy? I would like a range of 100 points.
2/ Is there a better temp. sensor which gives a more differentiated voltage output? What have other people used, and do they all need “external” power?
Thanks
