Connecting the TMP36 Temperature Sensor to Arduino

In this Instructable we look at connecting the TMP36 temperature sensor to an Arduino and configuring it to readout the temperature in both degrees Fahrenheit and degrees Centigrade.

1 - TMP36 temperature sensor (Sparkfun SEN-10988)

1 - Breadboard

1 - Arduino Uno

1 - 10K resistor

1 - 45.3K resistor (or equivalent series resistors to make approximately 45.3K)

Jumper wires

The circuit diagram is very simple. This configuration will read out the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at a rate of 1mv/degree Fahrenheit with a 58mv offset which will be compensated for in the Arduino program

This program is fully commented and also described in the video.
