It would help if you mentioned what type of sensor your were using. Assuming it’s one of the TMP, have you checked any of these:
So I happen to have a TMP36 and decided to implement the temperature reading example. I connected it exactly as shown in the documentation, but I’m getting inaccurate readings. Whether I use a function, a variable or Serial.print I get values around...

I did a bunch of testing today with my TMP36 temperature sensor to try and get to the bottom of why the readings are so wacky. This is a continuation of the Odd analog readings thread, but I felt you might want to find this information without...

Hi, I was tinkering around with the core and playing with some of the examples and the one with the TMP36 sensor is giving me some odd return values. I’ve got 3 of the sensors (all giving a reading within 1 degree of each other) but with a plain...

So awhile back with quite a bit of guidance I was able to get my TMP102 sensors working. I fired them up again today and have been getting strange results. I’m sure it’s just user error, but I’m not sure where to look. Here’s my code, // For the...

hey guys, I hope this is the right place to post this. Basically I am going through Sparks Fun tutorial #7, reading temperature off a TMP36 sensor. My problem is that I am reading very low values on A0 from the sensor. I hooked it up correctly and...

Hi there, I’m fairly new to the Spark Core, so please bear with me :smile: I’m trying to get temperature readings by using a TMP36 temperature sensor, which I’ve managed to do with an Arduino. However with the Spark Core I’m getting analog readings...

This topic contains a link which explains why you might need a certain fix:
I have just discovered why I have had trouble in the past with the TMP36. Its not unreliable, it just needs a pull-down resistor on the output. Write-up here for the Core / Photon

Contrary to popular belief, the search function on this forum software work really well. I found the above information by typing in “TMP”. I’m sure you would’ve found it as well, had you tried the search. Give it a try next time
