16×2 LCD Display

16×2 LCD display with I2C refers to a liquid crystal display (LCD) module that consists of 16 columns and 2 rows of characters.

I2C Interface- The I2C interface on the LCD display module allows you to control the display using I2C commands.
I2C Module- PCF8574 or PCF8574A acts as an I/O expander.
Wiring-
- VCC and GND: Connect 5v power supply and GND to GND pins of the LCD display and the microcontroller.
- SDA (Serial Data) and SCL (Serial Clock): I2C PIN like if used then connected the A5 and A4.

DHT11 Sensor

DHT11 sensor is a widely used digital temperature and humidity sensor in various projects. The sensor is small in size and can be easily integrated into any Microcontroller.

Sensing Elements

The DHT11 sensor contains a humidity-sensing component and a temperature-sensing component.

Humidity Sensing

The humidity-sensing component consists of a moisture-sensitive capacitor. It absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment, causing changes in its capacitance.

Temperature Sensing

The temperature-sensing component uses a thermistor, which is a type of resistor whose resistance changes with temperature. By measuring the resistance, the sensor determines the temperature.

Analog-to-Digital Conversion

The DHT11 sensor internally performs analogue-to-digital conversion to convert the measured analog signals (humidity and temperature) into digital values that can be read by a microcontroller.

DS18B20 sensor

DS18B20 is a popular digital temperature sensor widely used in various projects and applications.
The DS18B20 uses the 1-Wire protocol, which enables communication and power supply over a single data line.

Digital Thermometer

The DS18B20 is a digital thermometer specifically designed to measure temperature. It eliminates the need for analogue-to-digital conversion by providing temperature readings directly in a digital format.

One-Wire Protocol

The DS18B20 sensor uses the 1-Wire protocol, which allows multiple sensors connected to a single data line. This connects multiple sensors to a single microcontroller pin, using a unique address for each sensor.
