CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
In this project , measure human body temperature second to second. This is a
simple example. For a more precise and medical-grade body temperature measurement, we
need a more accurate sensor and may need to follow specific regulations and calibration
process. Ensure that have the necessary libraries installed in our Arduino IDE for this code
to work.
In this project, we will learn how to design Digital Thermometer Using Arduino &
DS18B20 Temperature Sensor. Simply we will interface Arduino with DS18B20 Digital
Waterproof Temperature Sensor and display the temperature values in degree Celsius.
A usable health-monitoring system is required for prolonged monitoring of the
patient with reduced cost. This paper describes a working prototype system for real-time
health-monitoring system using DS18B20 temperature sensor.
1.2 LITERATURE REVIEW
Due to the successful emergence of Internet of Things, sensor-based real-time
health monitoring is getting popularized. A usable health-monitoring system is required
for prolonged monitoring of the patient with reduced cost. This paper describes a working
prototype system for real-time health-monitoring system using DS18B20 temperature
sensor, Arduino UNO with micro-controller ATmega328 where Zigbee module is used
for wireless communication. In this prototype sensor data gets acquired and analyzed to
give proper feedback to the patient with or without mobility support at indoor. The sensor
vitals are collected and sent to the computing device using shielded cable and ZigBee, i.e.,
through wired and wireless communication, respectively. Analysis of patient vitals based
on medical definitions gives patient’s real-time health condition so that if condition is not
normal, then timely preventive measures can be taken to avoid further complication. Per
user data can be saved in the system database for further reference.

CHAPTER-2
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION ABOUT DS18B20 TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The DS18B20 is a digital temperature sensor manufactured by (formerly Dallas
Semiconductor). It is one of the most popular temperature sensors on the market and
provides fairly high accuracy (±0.5 °C) over a large temperature range (-55 °C to + 125
°C). Because the operating voltage of the sensor is 3.0 to 5.5 V, you can use it with both
the Arduino (which operates at 5 V), as well as with devices like the ESP32 and Raspberry
Pi which have 3.3 V GPIO pins.
The DS18B20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit to 12-bit Celsius temperature
measurements and has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and
lower trigger points. The DS18B20 communicates over a 1-Wire bus that by definition
requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central microprocessor.
In addition, the DS18B20 can derive power directly from the data line (“parasite power”),
eliminating the need for an external power supply. Each DS18B20 has a unique 64-bit
serial code, which allows multiple DS18B20s to function on the same 1-Wire bus. Thus, it
is simple to use one microprocessor to control many DS18B20s distributed over a large
area. Applications that can benefit from this feature include HVAC environmental
controls, temperature monitoring systems inside buildings, equipment, or machinery, and
process monitoring and control systems.
2.1.1 SPECIFICATOINS IN DS18B20
Power Supply 3V to 5.5V
Current Consumption 1Ma
Temperature Range -55 to 125°C
Accuracy ±0.5°C
Resolution 9 to 12 bit (selectable)
Conversion Time < 750ms

2.2 COMPONENTS USED

The sensor works by reading and converting the temperature and storing this value
in scratchpad memory. The scratchpad memory is then read via the One-wire bus by the
Dallas library. The power-on value in the scratchpad memory is 85 °C .The core
functionality of the DS18B20 is its direct-to- digital temperature sensor.

Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P (datasheet). It

has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs,
a 16 MHz ceramic resonator (CSTCE16M0V53-R0), a USB connection, a power jack, an
ICSP header and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-
to-DC adapter or battery to get started.. You can tinker with your Uno without worrying
too much about doing something wrong, worst case scenario you can replace the chip for a
few dollars and start over again.
"Uno" means one in Italian and was chosen to mark the release of Arduino Software
(IDE) 1.0. The Uno board and version 1.0 of Arduino Software (IDE) were the reference
versions of Arduino, now evolved to newer releases. The Uno board is the first in a series
of USB Arduino boards, and the reference model for the Arduino platform; for an
extensive list of current, past or outdated boards see the Arduino index of boards.
Barrel Jack - The Barrel jack, or DC Power Jack can be used to power your Arduino
board. The barrel jack is usually connected to a wall adapter. The board can be powered by
5-20 volts but the manufacturer recommends to keep it between 7-12 volts. Above 12
volts, the regulators might overheat, and below 7 volts, might not suffice.
VIN Pin - This pin is used to power the Arduino Uno board using an external power
source. The voltage should be within the range mentioned above.
USB cable - when connected to the computer, provides 5 volts at 500mA.

5v and 3v3-They provide regulated 5 and 3.3v to power external components according to
manufacturer specifications.
The Arduino Uno has 6 analog pins, which utilize ADC (Analog to Digital converter).
These pins serve as analog inputs but can also function as digital inputs or digital outputs.
Reset Pin: Making this pin LOW, resets the microcontroller

A Breadboard is simply a board for prototyping or building circuits on. It allows
you to place components and connections on the board to make circuits without soldering.
The holes in the breadboard take care of your connections by physically holding onto parts
or wires where you put them and electrically connecting them inside the board. The ease
of use and speed are great for learning and quick prototyping of simple circuits. More
complex circuits and high frequency circuits are less suited to breadboarding. Breadboard
circuits are also not ideal for long term use like circuits built on per board (protoboard) or
PCB (printed circuit board), but they also don’t have the soldering (protoboard), or design
and manufacturing costs (PCBs).

The 4.7k ohm (4700 ohm) resistor is one of the most common resistors in
electronics. The four band 4.7k resistor is easy to recognize with its’ distinctive pattern of
yellow, violet, and red color bands. The 5 and 6 band versions have a pattern of yellow,
violet, black, brown, followed by the tolerance band and temperature coefficient band on
the 6 band version.

A jump wire (also known as jumper, jumper wire, DuPont wire) is an electrical
wire, or group of them in a cable, with a connector or pin at each end (or sometimes
without them – simply "tinned"), which is normally used to interconnect the components
of a breadboard or other prototype or test circuit, internally or with other equipment or
components, without soldering.[1] Individual jump wires are fitted by inserting their "end
connectors" into the slots provided in a breadboard, the header connector of a circuit
board, or a piece of test equipment.

CHAPTER-3
ARDUINO PROGRAMING
3.1 INSTALLING LIBARIARY FOR DS18B20
The 1-Wire protocol is a bit complicated, and it takes a lot of code to make it work.
DallasTemperature.h was written to abstract away this unnecessary complexity, allowing
us to issue simple commands to obtain temperature readings from the sensor.
To install the library, navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Manage
Libraries… Wait for the Library Manager to download the library index and update the
list of installed libraries.
Filter we search by entering ‘ds18b20’. There should be a couple of entries. Look
for DallasTemperature by Miles Burton. Click on that entry and then choose Install.
Dallas Temperature is a hardware-specific library that handles lower-level
functions. It must be paired with the One Wire Library in order to communicate with any
one-wire device, not just the DS18B20. Install this library as well.
3.2 CODE EXPLANATION
The sketch begins by including the OneWire.h and DallasTemperature.h libraries
and declaring the Arduino pin to which the sensor’s signal pin is connected.
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>

#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 4
To communicate with the DS18B20 sensor, we do two things. First, we create a
one-wire object and pass the sensor’s signal pin as a parameter. Second, we create a
DallasTemperature library object and pass the reference of the one-wire object (that we just
created) as a parameter.
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);
In the setup section, we establish serial communication with the PC and call the
begin() function. The begin() function scans the bus for connected DS18B20 sensors and
sets the bit resolution (12 bits) for each one.
void setup(void) {
sensors.begin(); // Start up the library
Serial.begin(9600);
}
8
 Development of Temperature Measurement System using DS18B20

In the loop section, we call the request Temperatures() function, which instructs all
sensors on the bus to perform a temperature conversion.
Then we call the getTempCByIndex(deviceIndex) function, where deviceIndex is
the location of the sensor on the bus. This function reads the temperature reading from the
corresponding sensor and returns it.
If you only have one DS18B20 on the bus, set deviceIndex to 0.
void loop(void) {
sensors.requestTemperatures();
Serial.print("Celsius temperature: ");
Serial.print(sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));
Serial.print(- Fahrenheit temperature:);
Serial.print((sensors.getTempCByIndex(0) );
delay(1000);
}

3.3 ARDUINO UNO PROGRAM

#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
// Data wire is conntec to the Arduino digital pin 4
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 4
// Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with any OneWire devices
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
// Pass our oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature sensor
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);
void setup(void)
{
// Start serial communication for debugging purposes
Serial.begin(9600);
// Start up the library
sensors.begin();
}
void loop(void){
// Call sensors.requestTemperatures() to issue a global temperature and Requests to all
devices on the bus

9
 Development of Temperature Measurement System using DS18B20

sensors.requestTemperatures();
Serial.print("Celsius temperature: ");
// Why "byIndex"? You can have more than one IC on the same bus. 0 refers to the first
IC on the wire
Serial.print(sensors.getTempCByIndex(0));
Serial.print(" - Fahrenheit temperature: ");
Serial.println(sensors.getTempFByIndex(0));
delay(1000);
}

4.2 COMPARITIVE ANALYSIS

Compare normal thermometer with DS18B20 temperature sensor
 Normal Thermometer is used only to measure human body temperature. But
DS18B20 temperature sensor is used to measure temperature of hot water, flame
and surroundings.
 DS18B20 is measured time to time when compare to normal thermometer.
In this project we use few components when compare to other projects. As well as
cost of the project is low when compare to other DS18B20 temperature sensor projects. It
is more useful when compared to normal thermometer.
In this project we gain more knowledge regarding to the sensor. This sensor is more
usable compared to other sensor. In the recent era this kind of sensor based projects is
more efficient.
