Analogue Temp Sensors component
A range of the most popular temperature analogue sensors which are: AD22100, AD22103, LM135, LM235, LM335, LM35, LM36, LM37, LM60, MCP9700., MCP9701, TC1047, TMP35, TMP36, TMP37 & TSIC301. Uses a single ADC pin which will allow you to display the temperature in C or F. If your sensor is not listed, there is a Custom option. You will be able to enter the scale factor, offset voltage, min and maximum temperatures If the temperature is outside the min and max values, then 999.9 will be displayed.

Property reference
Select Sensor
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name SensorType.
No additional information
Channel
This property is of type Single analog pin and can be referenced with the variable name adc_base1::channel.
Analogue Input Channel - Which pin is the analogue input connected to?
Vref (mV)
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name VRef.
No additional information
VRef option
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name adc_base1::vrefop.
Defines what is used as the ADC maximum reference. ADC Range = GND to VRef Voltage
VDD - Defines the microcontrollers power supply pin as the max reference,
VREF+ Pin - Dedicated pin on the microcontroller to allow for a variable reference voltage.
Conversion speed
This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name adc_base1::convspd.
Clock setting to select how fast the ADC peripheral will perform an ADC conversion.
The FRC setting is based on a RC time base and so will vary with temperature and pressure.
Other settings are generally based on divisions of the master clock.
Acquisition cycles
This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name adc_base1::actime.
Number of micro seconds to wait for the ADC input to charge before starting the analogue sample.
Scale factor (mV x100)
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name Resolution.
for a scale factor of 22mv/C or 22mV/F it's 2200
Scale factor is set for you automatically.
It can only be adjusted with the Custom option.
Offset (mV)
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name Offset.
Offset is set for you automatically.
It can only be adjusted with the Custom option.
Tot Avage Samples
This property is of type Unsigned integer and can be referenced with the variable name TotAvSamples.
No additional information
Max Temp
This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name Max0.
Max Temp the sensor can reach is set for you automatically.
It can only be adjusted with the Custom option.
Min Temp
This property is of type Signed integer and can be referenced with the variable name Min0.
Max Temp the sensor can reach is set for you automatically.
It can only be adjusted with the Custom option.
Label
This property is of type Line of text and can be referenced with the variable name label.
A text label to help you identify the component on the panel.
temperature
This property is of type Floating point and can be referenced with the variable name temperature.
