Around this time last year, our very own James Colvin explained in a blog post about how to make a digital thermometer<\/a> using parts\u00a0from the chipKIT Starter Kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does this work? As James said, “…Back to the temperature. \u00a0One can convert the voltage drop across the thermistor into temperature by using what is called the\u00a0B-parameter equation. \u00a0However, the temperature that is reported is in the Kelvin temperature scale– which if you\u2019re like me,\u00a0don\u2019t have any real idea of what 300 Kelvin feels like without turning it into something more familiar, like Fahrenheit. \u00a0Luckily,\u00a0this is pretty easily done within the MPIDE\u00a0code.\u00a0So you\u00a0can now turn the temperature into Fahrenheit, Celsius, or for the really\u00a0ambitious, a temperature scale of your own invention!”<\/p>\n
