temp probe using LM35 for thermoelectric cooling

Hello,

I am a beginner to basic stamps, but my task seems a little complex
(or at least to me). Has anyone utilized the basic stamp 2 as
temperature controller using readings from a LM35 sensor probe in
order to perform switching of a mechanical relay controlling a
thermoelectric module (or peltier junction)? I know that is a mouth-
full, but I look forward to hearing from someone who is familiar with
some of this concept.

    I use LM335 to measure temperatures at high altitude. The voltage
    varies as the temperature changes. Since it's an analog signal, the
    voltage must be inputted to a ADC first. I like using the MAX186
    because it gives me 12 bits of resolution. Besides, MAXIM-IC will
    send you two for free!

    Hi i_am_denon,

    I just got a hot tub controller going using LM34s( not LM35s). It was quite
    easy, after I discovered (with much help from Tracy and Pat on this list)
    what my hardware issue was. The code is simple, and you are welcome to mine
    if you would like it. It maintains the tub at a predetermined temp, has
    basic error checking (too hot, too cold, indicating a problem). I am using a
    LTC1298 ADC to interface the Stamp to the LM34s. If you want details has to
    how I made my probes and so on (had to be waterproof) feel free to e-mail me
    off list.

    Yes, I have used the LM35 with great success in an application similar to what
    you are doing. You'll need an A/D converter in between the sensor and the
    stamp. Some protection for the stamp from the relays maybe even some type of
    driver for them depending on how much current they need. The peltier devices I
    have seen are kinda power hungry, couple of amps at least, so you'll need a good
    power supply. If you need some detailed help email me off list and I think I
    can get you started pretty quick.

    Go to the parallax site and go through the industrial control
    cirriculum(sp?). It'll help you out a lot I think.
