Talk:Chest Freezer To Refrigerator Conversion

math

What temperature should a refrigerator be? The FDA recommends between 32°F and 40°F (0°C to 4°C). Energy Star recommends between 35°F and 38°F (2°C to 3°C) to reduce energy use.

thermister =

10K Ohm @ 25 celcius 20.13 @ 5 24.30 @ 0

voltage devider

Vout = (R2/(R1+R2)) x Vin

24.3 Ohm -> 0.962V 24 Ohm -> 0.97V 21 Ohm -> 1.06V

Analog to Digital Converter

Arduino's onboard ADC converts voltage to a range of 0-1023 based on arduino's base voltage

so on a 3.3V arduino, analogRead(A1) will equal

0V = 0 reading 1.65 = 511 3.3V = 1023

so

24.3 Ohm = 298.25 24 Ohm = 300.88 21 Ohm = 329.99
