Grove - Temperature sensor with NCP18WF104F03RC

Grove - Temperature sensor

This Grove temperature sensor measures the ambient temperature via an NCP18WF104F03RC thermistor, which is characterized by high stability and high accuracy.

The resistance of the thermistor changes depending on the ambient temperature. The sensor has excellent environmental stability and long-term ageing stability as well as high accuracy in resistance and B-constant. The operating range is -40 to 125 °C with an accuracy of ± 1.5 °C.

Since the Grove temperature sensor is equipped with a Grove connector, it can be easily connected to the Arduino UNO or Seeedduino board (plug-and-play).  

Features

• Excellent environmental stability: With the support of NCP18WF104F03RC, the operating range of the Grove temperature sensor is -40 to 125 °C.
• High-precision environmental detection: The accurate temperature detection range is ± 1.5 °C.
• Grove unit plug-in system: The sensor ensures "plug and play" and can be used in a variety of applications.

What is Grove?

Grove facilitates connection, experimentation and simplifies the prototyping process. No jumpers or soldering are required. More than 300 Grove modules have been developed to cover a wide range of applications and fulfill a variety of requirements. Not only the hardware is open source, but also the software. Instructional PDF documents and a wiki are provided for Grove users (especially beginners). 

We offer various Grove Shields to enable a connection to the Grove system with various microcontrollers. 

Scope of delivery:
