  1. /*
  2. The LM35 is an analog temperature sensor that outputs a voltage proportional to the temperature in degrees Celsius. Here's an example code in Arduino that reads the temperature from the sensor:
  3.  
  4. Note: This code assumes that the LM35 sensor is connected to pin A0 of the Arduino board. If you're using a different pin, you'll need to modify the SENSOR_PIN definition accordingly. Also, the LM35 outputs a voltage of 10 mV per degree Celsius, so the voltage is multiplied by 100 to convert it to degrees Celsius.
