Case air temp display, Pics + code

[TheEndisHere]

For a while, I have wanted to know what the different temps were in my case. It's not necessary at all but I like having all the info.

The info has helped me tune my fan curves for all my components keeping my PC quieter and 5C cooler ish.

Just thought this is a good place to share it.  

 

I used an Arduino Uno and 5 digital temps. sensors, and a 20 X 4 LCD. So here is the code I think its C+

 

#include <LCD.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>

#include <DallasTemperature.h>
#include <OneWire.h>

OneWire ourWire1(9);  
OneWire ourWire2(10);             
OneWire ourWire3(11);
OneWire ourWire4(12);
OneWire ourWire5(13);
 
DallasTemperature sensors1(&ourWire1); 
DallasTemperature sensors2(&ourWire2); 
DallasTemperature sensors3(&ourWire3);
DallasTemperature sensors4(&ourWire4);
DallasTemperature sensors5(&ourWire5);

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 2, 1, 0, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, POSITIVE);

void setup() 

{
  // sets the lcd
 Serial.begin(9600);
// sensors.begin();
 lcd.begin(20,4);
 // starts each sensor
 sensors1.begin();   
 sensors2.begin();  
 sensors3.begin();
 sensors4.begin();
 sensors5.begin(); 

}

void loop(void)
{ 
//temp intake data
sensors1.requestTemperatures();   
float temp1c= sensors1.getTempCByIndex(0); 
float temp1f= sensors1.getTempFByIndex(0); 

sensors2.requestTemperatures();   
float temp2c= sensors2.getTempCByIndex(0); 
float temp2f= sensors2.getTempFByIndex(0); 

sensors3.requestTemperatures();   
float temp3c= sensors3.getTempCByIndex(0); 
float temp3f= sensors3.getTempFByIndex(0);

sensors4.requestTemperatures();   
float temp4c= sensors4.getTempCByIndex(0); 
float temp4f= sensors4.getTempFByIndex(0); 

sensors5.requestTemperatures();   
float temp5c= sensors5.getTempCByIndex(0); 
float temp5f= sensors5.getTempFByIndex(0); 

Serial.print("Temperatura 1 = ");
Serial.print(temp1c);
Serial.print(" C");

Serial.print("   Temperatura 2 = ");
Serial.print(temp2f);
Serial.println(" C");

Serial.print("   Temperatura 3 = ");
Serial.print(temp3c);
Serial.println(" C");

Serial.print("   Temperatura 4 = ");
Serial.print(temp4c);
Serial.println(" C");

Serial.print("   Temperatura 5 = ");
Serial.print(temp5f);
Serial.println(" C");

// Intake temp
 lcd.setCursor(0,0);
 lcd.print("Intake= ");
 
 lcd.setCursor(8,0);
 lcd.print(temp1c);
 lcd.setCursor(12,0);
 lcd.print("C ");
  
 lcd.setCursor(14,0);
 lcd.print(temp1f);
 lcd.setCursor(18,0);
 lcd.print("F  ");
 
// SYS Exhaust
 lcd.setCursor(0,1);
 lcd.print("Sys Ex=");
 
 lcd.setCursor(8,1);
 lcd.print(temp2c);
 lcd.setCursor(12,1);
 lcd.print("C ");

 lcd.setCursor(14,1);
 lcd.print(temp2f);
 lcd.setCursor(18,1);
 lcd.print("F ");
 
// GPU temp
 lcd.setCursor(0,2);
 lcd.print("GPU Ex=");
 
 lcd.setCursor(8,2);
 lcd.print(temp3c -1);
 lcd.setCursor(12,2);
 lcd.print("C ");

 lcd.setCursor(14,2);
 lcd.print(temp3f -2);
 lcd.setCursor(18,2);
 lcd.print("F ");
 
// PS temp
 lcd.setCursor(0,3);
 lcd.print("PS=");
 
 lcd.setCursor(4,3);
 lcd.print(temp4c -.2);
 lcd.setCursor(8,3);
 lcd.print("C ");

 //lcd.setCursor(5,3);
 //lcd.print(temp4f);
 //lcd.setCursor(8,3);
 //lcd.print("F ");
 
// HDD temp
 lcd.setCursor(10,3);
 lcd.print("HDD=");
 
 lcd.setCursor(14,3);
 lcd.print(temp5c -1.2);
 lcd.setCursor(18,3);
 lcd.print("C ");

 //lcd.setCursor(14,3);
 //lcd.print(temp5f -1);
 //lcd.setCursor(18,3);
 //lcd.print("C ");
  
 delay(1000);

Cool project, and thanks for sharing the code

 

Any chance of the make/model of the temp sensors that you used?

Probably the Dallas DS1820 family  (http://www.systronix.com/Resource/ds1820.pdf).

[TheEndisHere]

The model of the thermometers I used is the DS18b20. I did have to calibrate them in a bath of ice water, they were off about +-1.5C.

As an alternative to DS1820 you can use MCP9701 or MCP9700 , with or without A at the end.  Here's the datasheet: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/20001942G.pdf

 

Instead of 1 wire protocol, they simply output a voltage which you can read using the 10bit ADC in the microcontroller - they're also designed to output 10mV or 19.5mV / degree Celsius ... with a 10bit ADC, and the voltage reference set to 4.096v, you basically have 4mV steps, so around 0.2 degree celsius steps... good enough.
