Hi, I found that code from instructables and tried use in a spark core. I received incorrect values. temperatura = analogRead(A0); val = analogRead(tempPin); float mv = ( val/1024.0)*5000; float cel = mv/10; So I change the code to following, but receive incorrect values. My question is wh…

How have you powered the sensor? 3V3 -> GND or 5V -> GND

I tried with 5v but receive the incorrect values too

If you’re using 5V you have to make sure your temp never causes any voltage reading above 3V3, to prevent damaging the ADC. But there are several threads on this forum dealing with this sensor - have a search :wink: In some of them some hardware components are suggested. A side note too. When mi…

Are you sure you’re using a 3V3 sensor?

Since the standard LM35 requires a minimum if 4V supply
