Introducing Sensors
For this activity we will be introducing the TMP 34 temperature sensor. we will show how to read sensor data on the serial port and later we will display the readings on a small monitor.

In this part of the session we will be using a simple temperature sensor, the TMP36, to measure the ambient room temperature. The sensor readings will be displayed on the serial port.
Arduino Uno Board
3 X male-to-male jumper wires
Breadboard
TMP36 temperature sensor
A computer with an Arduino IDE software
Wire up your breadboard so you have power and ground. Connect the ground and power to the TMP36 sensor. Use the third jumper cable to connect the signal lead of the TMP36 sensor to the A0 analog pin on the arduino board as shown below:
