Temperature Sensor(LM35 ) 

 Temperature Sensor(LM35 )   is a popular and low cost temperature sensor. The Vcc can be from 4V to 20V as specified by the datasheet. To use the sensor simply connect the Vcc to 5V ,GND to Ground and the Out to one of the ADC (analog to digital converter channel).

The output is 10MilliVolts per degree centigrade. So if the output is 310 mV then temperature is 31 degree C. To make this project you should be familiar with the ADC of AVRs and also using LCD

So The resolution of AVRs ADC is 10bit and for reference voltage you are using 5V so the resolution in terms of voltage is

5/1024 = 5.1mV approximately

So if ADC’s result corresponds to 5.1mV i.e. if ADC reading is 

10 x 5.1mV = 51mV

You can get read the value of any ADC channel using the function
adc_result(ch);

Where ch is channel number (0-5) in case of ATmega8. If you have connected the LM35’s out put to ADC channel 0 then call

adc_result0 = adc_read(0);

this will store the current ADC reading in variable adc_value. The data type of adc_value should be int as ADC value can range from 0-1023.

As we saw ADC results are in factor of 5.1mV and for 1 degree C the output of LM35 is 10mV, So 2 units of ADC = 1 degree.

So to get the temperature we divide the adc_value by two

temperature = adc_result0 /2;

Finally the microcontroller will display the temperature in degree centigrade in the 16X2 alphanumeric LCD.

in this code when temperature is more then 30 degree then fan is on and you can see on led Display  FAN ON and when Temperature Less then 30 then fan is off and you can see FAN OFF
