Product Manual: Thermistor Plug
Introduction Thermistors are thermally sensitive resistors whose prime function is to exhibit a large, predictable and precise change in electrical resistance when subjected to a corresponding change in temperature. It has a small white strip which is pasted on the back of the PCB which can be used as indicator to specify the name, component code.....etc.

Supported cables ● 4-3 A ● 3-3 A
Details Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance with increase in temperature. Elint Labz has built a plug using NTC and a pull down resistor circuit. NTC plug can be mounted anywhere using screws.
Thermistor plug is an analog input device to the interfacing system. It has a interfacing port with three pins named as G (Ground), V (Vcc) and D (Data pin) through which analog values can be obtained.
How to interface? Use either of the supported interfacing cables to connect Thermistor plug to the controller board.

●
If 3-3 A cable is used then connect any end of the 3-3 A cable to the Thermistor plug and another end to Controller board. Always ensure that black wire of the cable is connected to the G pin on both ends.
●
If 4-3 A cable is used then 4 pin end of the cable is connected to the Controller board and 3 pin end of the cable must be connected to the Thermistor plug.
In the below given pictures one can see 4-3A cable is used to connect Thermistor plug to the Pluguino Board. The data pin D of LED plug is connected to the GPIO pin 11 of the controller board.

Example Codes Objective: Increase the temperature of the thermistor by bring a lit matchstick near it and read the analog values from the data pin and printing it on the serial monitor.
Code 1: Arduino #define THERMISTOR_PIN A0
// connecting Thermistor to the analog pinA0
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600):
// Initializing serial communication
} void loop() { float reading; //variable to store analog value reading = analogRead(THERMISTOR_PIN); //voltage of the Thermistor pin Serial.print(“ Analog reading “); //printing string Serial.println(reading); //printing the value delay(50); //wait for 50ns after each reading }
