The thermistor temperature sensor project has been designed specifically to support and integrate with teaching schemes for Key Stages 3 & 4.
The kit is a heat sensing circuit, which can be set to recognise various temperatures through the use of a variable resistance
Knowledge, skills and understanding can be developed in: Component recognition and purpose PCB circuit assembly and soldering System and circuit principles Signal tracing and fault finding Product design
The kit can be used for both class teaching or for individual project work and all components, including the PCBs are provided
The kit includes: resistors, amplifier IC sockets, diodes, thermistors, preset resistors, transistors, LEDs, thermistor PCB and PP3 battery clip
Kit contains components for 5 circuits
Suitable for Key Stages 3 & 4 (ages 11 to 16)
Note: Each kit requires 1x PP3 battery (not included).
Instruction details are available and can be photocopied for class use.
Q. What is the temperature range on this/these kits?
A. Hi Alex. Thank you for your question. The thermistor supplied will measure 20K at 25°C and approximately 1K at 100°. The unit can be adjusted via a small potentiometer.
Q. Does Thermistor Temperature Sensor Project Kit can be used with arduino? How to connect it?
A. Hi FaiZamri. Thank you for your question. The outputs would be used on the inputs of the chosen arduino. You would need to refer to the data sheet for the input pins on the arduino. The output on the thermistor kit can be used in normally open or normally closed, please see the data sheet.
