Functions Example One: Arduino Course 8.1

This lesson focuses on reinforcing the concept of user-defined functions through a practical example. It involves setting up a simple temperature sensor circuit using the LM34 integrated circuit and writing an Arduino sketch to read and convert the sensor's analog output into a Fahrenheit temperature. The lesson then demonstrates how to encapsulate the main loop code into a function, improving code organization and readability.

Discuss the importance of understanding the data sheet for the LM34 sensor.

How does the program read the voltage from the temperature sensor?

What are the advantages of using a constant for the analog pin number in the code?

What is the role of the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE when working with the temperature sensor?
