ESP8266 based TMP175 temperature display project

In this project we will create an environmental system with a TMP175  and a Wemos Mini and we will then display the readings on an OLED display

The TMP175 device is a digital temperature sensors ideal for NTC and PTC thermistor replacement. The devices offer a typical accuracy of ±1°C without requiring calibration or external component signal conditioning. IC temperature sensors are highly linear and do not require complex calculations or look-up tables to derive the temperature. The on-chip 12-bit ADC offers resolutions down to 0.0625°C. The device is available in the industry standard LM75 SOIC-8 and MSOP-8 footprint.

The TMP175 feature SMBus, Two-Wire, and I²C interface compatibility. The TMP175 device allows up to 27 devices on one bus. The TMP175 features an SMBus Alert function.

The TMP175 is ideal for extended temperature measurement in a variety of communication, computer, consumer, environmental, industrial, and instrumentation applications.

Features

Requirements

Lets take a look a the shields and boards that are required for this project

 

Image	Summary
	The Wemos mini – ESP8266 based board, it comes with various headers. This is the beauty of it you can create stackable projects with the board and pin compatible shields
	This is the TMP175 module I used
	A  64×48 OLED screen
	This is simply a base, you plug the Wemos Mini into one side and you can plug a shield or shields into the other side

Parts List

I connect the Wemos Mini to the dual base and then put the OLED shield along side this, I then connect the MPL3115A2 sensor to the OLED or the spare base

Name	Link
Wemos Mini	D1 mini – Mini NodeMcu 4M bytes Lua WIFI Internet of Things development board based ESP8266 by WeMos
Wemos Base	Tripler Base V1.0.0 Shield for WeMos D1 Mini
TMP175	1pcs CJMCU-175 TMP175 27 Address Digital Temperature Sensor
Connecting wire	Free shipping Dupont line 120pcs 20cm male to male + male to female and female to female jumper wire

Schematic

We use the I2C connection for the sensor

Module Connection	Wemos Connection
VCC	3v3
GND	Gnd
SDA	SDA (D2)
SCL	SCL (D1)
