Digital temperature measuring device for use on unmanned aerial vehicles

Abstract

The options for using UAVs, in particular for monitoring environmental parameters, are considered. The proposed digital device for measuring air temperature is described. This device is controlled by the microprocessor PIC 16F876A. As temperature sensors, digital sensors DS18B20 are used. The device includes eight sensors. Information about the measured temperature can be stored in the device's memory or transferred to the operator's console (with the presence of radio module). The temperature meter can be programmed to measure at a certain point in time or at certain points in the terrain (when connected to the navigation system).
