Particle Photon - TMP100 Temperature Sensor Tutorial

TMP100 High-Accuracy, Low-Power, Digital Temperature Sensor I2C MINI module. The TMP100 is ideal for extended temperature measurement. This device offers an accuracy of ±1°C without requiring calibration or external component signal conditioning. Here is the demonstration with Particle photon.

1. Particle Photon

2. TMP100

3. I²C Cable

4. I²C Shield for Particle Photon

Take an I2C shield for particle photon and gently push it over the pins of particle photon.

Then connect the one end of I2C cable to TMP100 sensor and the other end to the I2C shield.

Connections are shown in the picture above.

The particle code for TMP100 can be downloaded from our GitHub repository- Dcube Store

Here is the link for the same :

We have used two libraries for particle code, which are application.h and spark_wiring_i2c.h. Spark_wiring_i2c library is required to facilitate the I2C communication with the sensor.

You can also copy the code from here, it is given as follows:

// Distributed with a free-will license.

// Use it any way you want, profit or free, provided it fits in the licenses of its associated works.

// TMP100

// This code is designed to work with the TMP100_I2CS I2C Mini Module available in Dcube Store.

// Start I2C Transmission

// Select configuration register

Wire.write(0x01);

// Set continuous conversion, comparator mode, 12-bit resolution

Wire.write(0x60);

// Stop I2C Transmission

Wire.endTransmission();

}

void loop()

{

unsigned int data[2];

// Start I2C Transmission

Wire.beginTransmission(Addr);

// Select data register

Wire.write(0x00);

// Stop I2C Transmission

Wire.endTransmission();

// Request 2 bytes of data

Wire.requestFrom(Addr, 2);

// Read 2 bytes of data

// cTemp msb, cTemp lsb

if (Wire.available() == 2)

{

data[0] = Wire.read();

data[1] = Wire.read();

}

// Convert the data

cTemp = (((data[0] * 256) + (data[1] & 0xF0)) / 16) * 0.0625;

fTemp = cTemp * 1.8 + 32;

// Output data to dashboard

Particle.publish("Temperature in Celsius : ", String(cTemp));

Particle.publish("Temperature in Fahrenheit : ", String(fTemp));

delay(1000);

}

Various applications incorporating TMP100 low power, high accuracy digital temperature sensor include Power-Supply Temperature Monitoring, Computer Peripheral Thermal Protection, Battery Management as well as office machines.
