Temperature Sensor LM35 with Arduino

In order to find the temperature, we have several option but the first choice will be LM 35 temperature sensing IC. Interfacing Temperature Sensor LM35 with Arduino is super easy process and it requires no external interfacing components.




The LM35 sense the temperature between -55 °C to 150 °C with ±5% accuracy. It can be easily connected with Arduino board.

Temperature Sensor LM35 with Arduino Hookup

Here we have given basic interface circuit with arduino and sketch code to display sensor reading in serial port of arduino. In arduino board the output terminal of LM 35 connected to A0 that is analog input pin. +Vcc and Gnd from the arduino board can be given to temperature sensor as bias supply.
