Updated on 17/01/2016 (a and b segments were swapped on drawing)
Counter based on PIC16F628A . Included C code and circuit diagram. Displays -55 to 125 centigrade. The temperature is read every 15 seconds, can be changed in the code. The math is using integers to calculate the degrees and the tenths of degrees are calculated separately.
The 7 segment LED is common cathode, 4 separate digits can be used with segments a to g linked.
You are free to use the circuit diagram and the software with no limitations.
All transistors are BC337 or equivalent.
Total 5V supply current is 90mA.
The 4 digits display is common cathode, the 7 resistors of 220 ohms enable current of 15 mA for each segment which is on for 25% of the time. The seven segments, a to g, of one digit are linked to the corresponding seven segments in the other digits.
Segment e is connected differently because RA4 is an open drain output.
The 4 digits are multiplexed by pins 6-9 that drive the common cathodes cc1-cc4.
DP is the decimal point.
DS18B20 can be any type.

23.12.2019 - 00:28 Name: Moty Comment: Hi Manoochehr, The sensor (ds18b20) has typical error of +/-0.5 , max +/-3 . If the error is the same for the whole range then you can add a line to the code to subtract 1.5 , or you can try to change the sensor, most sensors are within +/-0.5

24.12.2017 - 13:59 Name: Moty Comment: Yes, -55
23.12.2017 - 17:49 Name: Manoj Soorya Comment: Is this unit shows the Minus (-) Degree ?
18.06.2016 - 12:25 Name: Moty Comment: Try another LED display.
17.06.2016 - 22:15 Name: Adalto Comment: Amigo simulando no proteus Isis ele não funciona! Fica aceso os 4 display e o seguimento "d" fica piscando e não muda de estado. Me ajuda , obrigado.
17.02.2016 - 11:21 Name: Moty Comment: If you have basic knowledge of mikroC you'll be able to correct the errors. Most errors are the delay macro.
16.02.2016 - 16:17 Name: seed Comment: I need code in micro c
30.01.2016 - 17:36 Name: Comment: Hi again,
I finished and run it. Nice work but values are higher 2-3 degrees. I changed 4 pieces of 18B20 all the same. Can I set it "c" program lines etc? Thanks and regards..

23.01.2016 - 14:58 Name: Comment: I'm going to try. Some beta ones doesn't to let compiled.
22.01.2016 - 21:00 Name: Moty Comment: Why didn't you answer my question?
You can edit the code with XC8 compiler, you can download it from Microchip. You can also use MPLABX or download old Hi Tech from the archive on their website. Google what you need and you will find it.
22.01.2016 - 17:24 Name: Comment: I think you fed up me..But I cannot compile the files. I don't have hi tec c. I've only mplab and how to use it correctly. I could'nt add a,b,c,f to no. "7" and add to -a- digit for "6" and -d- digit to "9" for more readable. Need help.. Thanks a lot..
22.01.2016 - 17:09 Name: Moty Comment: It took you less than 12 minutes to solve the problem, that's quite fast.
By the way, is it a project for school or you have an interesting use for it?
22.01.2016 - 11:17 Name: Comment: Terribly sorry. We've just find the problem. It was sourced pcb drawing. İt's working now. Thanks again..
22.01.2016 - 11:05 Name: Comment: Your .hex files are faulty/broken. Not working. Tried for many times. Also other guys tried. But unfavorable..
17.01.2016 - 22:46 Name: Comment: Ok. Thank you..
17.01.2016 - 21:11 Name: Moty Comment: You will enjoy it more if you try it yourself.
The answer is 0b1000111
I corrected the drawing today the a and b were swapped.
17.01.2016 - 17:49 Name: Comment: Last question if possible. I'd like to add "f" digit to number "7".
At present ...digit[7]=0b111;
Must I write like this:...digit[7]=0b111001; or digit[7]=0b10100111.
17.01.2016 - 17:30 Name: Comment: Thank you very much for soonest reply. I'm going to assemble it. Nice work..
17.01.2016 - 01:06 Name: Moty Comment: Yes, reduce the 1200 to a smaller number to get shorter time.
16.01.2016 - 15:32 Name: serkan karaaslan Comment: Hi,
It'S a very nice circuit. Besides I'd like to shorten read time like 5-6 seconds. "display(1200); //display for 15 seconds"
From here or etc? Thanks a lot..
