   Depending on your kit version, please identify whether you have **ADC0834** or **MCP3008** and proceed with the matching section.

Introduction
------------

Just like photoresistor can sense light, thermistor is a temperature
sensitive electronic device that can be used for realizing functions of
temperature control, such as making a heat alarm.

Experimental Procedures
-----------------------

**Step 1:** Build the circuit.

.. image:: ../img/image202.png

**Step 2:** Go to the folder of the code.

.. raw:: html

   <run></run>

.. code-block::

    cd ~/raphael-kit/c/2.2.2/

**Step 3:** Compile the code.

.. raw:: html

   <run></run>

.. code-block::

    gcc 2.2.2_Thermistor.c -lwiringPi -lm

.. note::
    -lm is to load the library math. Do not omit, or you will make
    an error.

**Step 4:** Run the executable file.

.. raw:: html

   <run></run>

.. code-block::

    sudo ./a.out

With the code run, the thermistor detects ambient temperature which will
be printed on the screen once it finishes the program calculation.

.. note::

    If it does not work after running, or there is an error prompt: \"wiringPi.h: No such file or directory\", please refer to :ref:`install_wiringpi`.

**Code Explanation**

.. code-block:: c

    #include <math.h>

There is a C numerics library which declares a set of functions to
compute common mathematical operations and transformations.

.. code-block:: c

    analogVal = get_ADC_Result(0);

This function is used to read the value of the thermistor.

.. code-block:: c

    Vr = 5 * (double)(analogVal) / 255;
    Rt = 10000 * (double)(Vr) / (5 - (double)(Vr));
    temp = 1 / (((log(Rt/10000)) / 3950)+(1 / (273.15 + 25)));
    cel = temp - 273.15;
    Fah = cel * 1.8 +32;
    printf("Celsius: %.2f C  Fahrenheit: %.2f F\n", cel, Fah);

These calculations convert the thermistor values into Celsius values.

.. code-block:: c

    Vr = 5 * (double)(analogVal) / 255;
    Rt = 10000 * (double)(Vr) / (5 - (double)(Vr));

These two lines of codes are calculating the voltage distribution with
the read value analog so as to get Rt (resistance of thermistor).

.. code-block:: c

    temp = 1 / (((log(Rt/10000)) / 3950)+(1 / (273.15 + 25)));

This code refers to plugging Rt into the formula
**T\ K\ =1/(ln(R\ T/R\ N)/B+1/T\ N)** to get Kelvin temperature.

.. code-block:: c

    temp = temp - 273.15;

Convert Kelvin temperature into degree Celsius.

.. code-block:: c

    Fah = cel * 1.8 +32;

Convert degree Celsius into Fahrenheit.
    
.. code-block:: c

    printf("Celsius: %.2f C  Fahrenheit: %.2f F\n", cel, Fah);

Print centigrade degree, Fahrenheit degree and their units on the
display.
