[200] Arduino Getting Started: Thermistor, an Analog Temperature Sensor  @TechExplorations_
Uploaded July 2024 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In this tutorial, we demonstrate using an NTC thermistor to measure temperature with an Arduino. We cover the setup and the code required to read and display the temperature data.

This series is possible thanks to the kind support of Sunfounder, an online store that sells high-quality hardware and kits for Makers. Visit Sunfounder at https://sunfounder.com.

In this series, I use the SunFounder 3 in 1 Ultimate Starter Kit with Original Arduino Uno R4 Minima, including high-quality sensors, actuators, power supplies, and Original Arduino Uno R4 Minima for diverse projects and skill-building.
