How To Wire It! Thermistors

[@yvanricardoecarrigomez]

Have you tested the measures against a ambient thermometer? I mouted a very similar circuit and I found out that the values are quite different to the actual temperature (more than 2ºC, about 3,6ºF)

[@christo8989]

What are the hardware components in the video (mostly the arduino). I'm very new.

[@OddJobEntertainment]

What happens if you do not connect the resistor?

[@bartdelege929]

you will constantly measure lowest temp, if you do the maths without the library it will be -273.15C.

[@alanfairclough3427]

So where is the Thermistor library????

[@chriscrawford1958]

Question that I’m having a problem finding an answer to.... I have a couple of 1s lipo batteries with 3 wire connectors. I assume that means they have thermisters. I want to use them on a tiny RC airplane, that only accepts a 2 lead battery. Can I change the connectors on the batteries to 2 lead leaving the 3rd wire on the batteries disconnected, or solder the ground wire to the thermistor wire?

[@coachgeo]

sadly no one seems to be getting any answers in here.. but I will ask anyyway.. maybe get lucky. this is not arduino but is thermister. I have 5 devices*..... each with their own very short dongle thermister... possibly 10k.. have not identified yet. though not sure it is relative to this post. wondering if I can snip them off the device(s).. parallel (or would it be series?) connect the two wires of the five device and run run long wires (of appropriate gauge) down a box in area I need to monitor temperature? *device = solar controller.. though not sure if that would matter.... would be same question with 5 arduino boards using one temp sensor to put signal into the board for it to control what ever it does.

Make a video explaining how thermistor works.

Hi, I am trying to make this work with a ESP8266. I downloaded the library and imported it in the Arduino IDE, copied the thermistor sketch but when I try to compile it, I am getting the error: "In file included from /Users/ap/Documents/Arduino/my_thermistor/my_thermistor.ino:1:0: /Users/ap/Documents/Arduino/libraries/Thermistor/Thermistor.h:19:22: fatal error: WProgram.h: No such file or directory #include "WProgram.h"" Any idea?

[@ItKindaWorks]

It sounds like you haven't installed the thermistor library (or not installed it correctly). There is a link to download it in the description of the video.

[@AlainPilon]

thx for the fast reply. I downloaded the github project zip file, extracted it, took the thermistor folder and copied it in the arduino/library folder, restarted the arduino IDE. When I go in Files/examples, I see the thermistor folder and the example sketch (which does not compile either obviously). Is there something else I needed to do to install the library?

[@AlainPilon]

Found the issue. I forked the lib and made the fix. I dont know if it is because I am using an ESP8266 or because I am using a newer version of Arduino IDE. Check it out github.com/AlainPilon/libraries

[@randomtech3749]

I need help too I did the same thing as Alain but when I click include Thermistor it goes but terminator is not orange. Need help

[@randomtech3749]

Thermistor . h is not orange

[@lukeparker8559]

Do you have the part number for that thermistor? I looking for that size and color in 5K . Regards Luke

[@johnrae2696]

why is it when i use other peoples code, it works fine for them, but i always get an error saying somethings not right. whether i retype it, or copy and paste their exact code. its so goddam frustrating. especially as an amateur to electronics, because i dont know how to fix it.

[@xylosfurniture]

Same here. Copy+paste=Error☹ all the time.

[@nebigarci]

Your voice raymond reddington :D

[@sickvic3909]

Will this work on esp8266, don't understand how to use linked code for arduino

[@onmotica831]

You can use micropython and Esp8266 to read a thermistor, using analog to digital convertion. Using a ESP8266 you will be read a voltaje (0-5v) as (0-1024) value. You can use a micropython with a little script writed in python :). www.techparva.com/index.php/2017/09/01/interface-thermistor-micropython-nodemcu/

[@bao-toanle6034]

can you do this with raspberry pi?

[@seanocansey2956]

You would need a separate ADC (Analogue to Digital Converter) because the pi won't have one, but technically yeah

[@skyboy98046]

You said "some" of the power.... Well, that is not true. All the power goes though both. The resistor is a pull down resistor. No offense, but maybe a digital electronics class might help you understand a little bit more, but I appreciate the video. ;-)

[@sto2779]

This tutorial is worthless. You haven’t discussed about the most important aspect about the thermistor about which kind of thermistor and resistor values.
