Temperature Sensor, Steel Head 10K NTC

/*
The Steel Head 10K NTC thermistor is a temperature sensor whose resistance changes with temperature. Here's a simple Arduino code to read the sensor's output and display the temperature on the Serial Monitor using the Steinhart-Hart equation:

To wire the Steel Head 10K NTC thermistor, connect one leg of the thermistor to the 5V pin on the Arduino and the other leg to the NTC_PIN (analog pin A0) on the Arduino. Connect a 10KΩ resistor between the NTC_PIN (analog pin A0) and the ground.

This code will continuously read the sensor's output and print the raw readings, the calculated resistance, and the temperature in Celsius on the Serial Monitor. Make sure to adjust the R0, BETA, and SERIES_RESISTOR values according to your specific thermistor and the resistor used in the voltage divider circuit.
