This is a very accessible project for beginners. If you are thinking into starting with microcontrollers, this is better than a blinking LED. Basically we have a 3-digit 7 segment display showing data from a thermistor, and all this is controller by a PIC16F684. The circuit will tell the temperature between 0 and 140 farenheit. This project is actually quite easy to build; the hardest part is calibrating the thermistor… If you need more info on the project visits the authors page using the links bellow.

Parts List:

• 1 x PIC16f684 microcontroller
• 1 x 14 pin IC socket (so the PIC can be removed to reprogram)
• 1 x Thermistor (see below)
• 3 x 2N3906 PNP transistors
• 1 x .01mF capacitor (any kind)
• 10 x 100ohm 1/4watt resistors
• 1 x 3-digit 7 segment display
• 1 x 3 AAA battery holder with switch.
• 1 x PCB breadboard
• etching chemicals to make board etc.
