A Thermistor is a component which changes its resistance in relation to the temperature around it. We’ll use multiple ones along with regular resistors to measure the temp within the various cells of our new LifePO4 Battery pack to make sure nothing is heating up inside of it.

This uses a simple Arduino Sketch and just these handful of components to measure these localized temperatures quite accurately. If this kind of project is one you are planning yourself, or if you’re just interested to see these Thermistors in action, then check out this video.

We have the Arduino Sketched used in this project posted up on Github at: https://github.com/SmithBotics2021/Ardunio_MultiTemp

If you like our new Arduino Multi Temp Sensor Youtube video, please do give us a thumbs up as that really encourages us to produce more content like this, and many other topics, as we build our dream robot, one circuit at a time.
