RGB LED is the abbreviation of ‘’Red Green Blue Light Emitting Diode’’. RGB LED is the most amazing type of LED which has the ability to create millions of different shades of light colors using red, green, and blue colors.
It is an easily available, less costly, and accurate result providing sensor without any external calibration or trimming. Its output voltage is linearly proportional with Centigrade temperature which is preferred over other temperature sensors calibrated in Kelvin in which extra additional calculation is needed to convert a measured temperature into centigrade.
LM35 operates from -550C to 1500C. Its output voltage increases by 10 mV for every degree Celsius increment in temperature means its scaling factor is 10 mV/0C. LM 35 temperature sensor is an analog temperature sensor that means it provides output in analog signal form. Some of the microcontrollers do not accept analog signals, therefore, they require additional circuitry like analog to digital converter (ADC) to convert the analog signal into digital. in this tutorial, we will use Arduino Uno which has an inbuilt analog to digital converter. Arduino Uno has six analog input pins (A0 to A5). We will use one of these analog pins to convert the analog output of the LM35 sensor into the digital output.

In this tutorial, I will explain to you two projects. In the first project, you will understand, how a temperature sensor can be operated with Arduino Uno with the serial monitor. In the second example, you will learn how to show output temperature on LCD using Arduino Uno. I will show you how to calculate output temperature in Celsius as well as Fahrenheit in both project.

Circuit description:
I have used a 16 x 2 LCD compatible with the Hitachi HD44780 driver. The 10 k preset is used with LCD to adjust the brightness of the LCD screen. The RS pin of the LCD is connected with pin 8 of the Arduino board. VEE pin of the LCD module is connected with the middle terminal of the preset.
GND, RW and LED- pin of the LCD module connected with the ground pin of the Arduino board. VDD and LED+ pin of the LCD module is connected with a 5-volt power supply pin of the Arduino board. Enable pin E of the LCD module is connected with pin 2 of the Arduino board. Data pins D4, D5, D6, and D7 are connected with pins 7, 6, 5, 4 respectively.
The temperature sensor is a three-terminal device first terminal is connected with a 5-volt power supply pin of the Arduino, the middle terminal is connected with the A2 analog pin of the Arduino board and the third terminal is connected with the GND pin of the Arduino board.
