Introduction
The TMP35/TMP36/TMP37 are low voltage, precision centigrade temperature sensors. They provide a voltage output that is linearly proportional to the Celsius (centigrade) temperature. The TMP35/ TMP36/TMP37 do not require any external calibration to provide typical accuracies of ±1°C at +25°C and ±2°C over the −40°C to +125°C temperature range.
In this tutorial you will learn how to use the TMP36 sensor with Arduino uno. The room temperature will be printed to serial monitor. Before we start let's see more information about this sensor. |
