TFT Bar Chart Temperature Kit with Arduino Uno + Sensor
Arduino TFT Temperature Bar Chart Kit – See Heat in Living Colour
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Watch temperature come alive as a glowing bar chart on a 1.8-inch TFT screen. This kit turns an LM35 sensor reading into an animated display—red bars climb when it’s warm, blue bars shrink as it cools. Perfect for young explorers who want to see science instead of just numbers.
What You'll Build
A real-time, animated bar chart that paints room temperature in brilliant colour. Breathe on the sensor and watch the red bar rise instantly—cool it with a gentle breeze and blue returns. It’s a tangible way to explore sensors, coding, and data visualization on one compact breadboard.
What You'll Learn
- Read analog temperature data from an LM35 precision sensor
- Program an Arduino Uno to drive a TFT ST7735 colour display
- Map sensor values to bar height and colour gradients (red-hot, blue-cold)
- Troubleshoot breadboard circuits and wiring connections with confidence

Who This Kit Is For
Students in CBSE Class 11–12 exploring physics and computer science, young makers at ATL Tinkering Labs, and hobbyists aged 5–15 who want their first colourful data project. Even B.Tech ECE freshers will enjoy a quick, satisfying build that bridges hardware and visual logic.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to chat with your AI companion, which knows every step of this project. If you prefer, message us on WhatsApp—real engineers will help you out.
Can I run the bar chart without a computer after uploading the code?
Yes! Once the code is on the Arduino (you’ll need a computer for that one time), just connect the 9V battery snap. The bar chart runs standalone, perfect for science demos or taking it anywhere.
What if the green bar doesn’t match room temperature?
First, check that the LM35 legs are connected exactly as shown in the guide. The AI companion includes a wiring debugger—scan a picture of your breadboard and it will spot the issue.
Can I change the bar chart to show a different range or add more colours?
Absolutely. The kit code is open and commented. You can tweak the temperature thresholds to map your own colour scale (e.g., add orange for warm) and even draw multiple bars for different sensors later.
LM35 temperature shows as animated colour bar chart on 1.8in TFT. Red for hot, blue for cold.
