This is an amazing Arduino temperature sensor built around the LM35 temperature chip. It's perfect for detecting the ambient air temperature. The LM35 chip, made by National Semiconductor Corporation, has a functional range from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius and a sensitivity of 10mV per degree Celsius. The output voltage is directly proportional to the temperature, making it very reliable for temperature measurement. It belongs to the common types of temperature measurement sensors, including thermocouples, platinum resistance, thermal resistance, and semiconductor temperature chips. Thermocouples are often used for high - temperature measurement, platinum resistance for measuring up to 800 degrees Celsius, while thermal resistance and semiconductor temperature sensors are great for measuring 100 - 200 degrees or below. The semiconductor temperature sensor has good linearity and high sensitivity, and it can be easily combined with the Arduino board for specific expansion. The LM35 linear temperature sensor has simple pin definitions: Output, complex, and power. To make it super easy to use, a Gravity Interface is added for plug - and - play. The Arduino IO expansion shield is the ideal partner for connecting this sensor to your Arduino. Also, it can work at 3.3V, making it compatible with Raspberry Pi, Intel Edison, Joule, and Curie. Features: Based on the semiconductor LM35 temperature sensor and can detect ambient air temperature. Specifications: Analog type, working voltage of 3.3 - 5V, sensitivity of 10mV per degree Celsius, and a functional range of 0 to 100 degrees Celsius. Documents: Manual, Datasheet, and Schematic. Shipping List: One Arduino LM35 Temperature Sensor and one Analog Sensor Cable (SKU:FIT0031). Improvement List: Standard assembling structure, easily recognitive sensor interfaces, icons to show sensor function, high - quality connector, and immersion gold surface.
Using this Gravity - compatible Arduino LM35 temperature sensor is a breeze. First, connect it to your Arduino using the included Analog Sensor Cable and the Arduino IO expansion shield. The Gravity Interface allows for easy plug - and - play, so you don't have to worry about complex wiring. Once connected, the sensor will start detecting the ambient air temperature right away. Just make sure your Arduino is powered up and running. When it comes to working voltage, this sensor can operate between 3.3V and 5V. You can use it with a Raspberry Pi, Intel Edison, Joule, or Curie since it's compatible with 3.3V. For best results, keep the sensor in an area where it can accurately measure the ambient air temperature. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can affect the readings. As for maintenance, there's not much to do. Just keep it clean and free from dust. If you need more technical details, refer to the included manual, datasheet, and schematic.
