Summary of Arduino Tutorial (LM35 Temp Sensor)


This Arduino tutorial explains how to connect an LM35 temperature sensor and write code to read data. It further details building a custom entertainment cooler for game systems using the sensor, a fan, and a servo motor powered by a 9V battery.

Parts used in the Entertainment Cooler:

  • Arduino
  • LM35 Temp Sensor
  • 12V fan
  • 2N3904 Transistor
  • LED
  • Servo Motor
  • 9V battery
  • 9V battery adapter
  • Jumper Wires

In this Arduino tutorial I will demonstrate how to correctly connect the LM35 temperature sensor to the Arduino. I will also show you how to write the code necessary to obtain the temperature from the sensor.
