Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to show how to build a simple temperature monitoring system by using multiple TMP75 digital sensors with 2-wire (I²C-compatible) serial interface and the PC´s parallel port. The proposed system has a master-slave architecture and consists of an LPT-to-I²C adapter for the parallel port, which operates as single master, up to 8 slave modules (measurements nodes) based on the TMP75 digital sensor IC and LabVIEW application software. Such a system can be deployed across a building, laboratory or any other facility, for current environmental monitoring, or it may serve as an educational tool for students.
