Introduction: Temperature Sensor(LM35) With LCD(JHD162A)

Hey guys!
moxigen here. Since the summer's out here it's been scorching hot and has made me wonder what would be the temperature. Hence, I decided to put together some stuff to create a temperature sensor.

Step 1: Materials Required

You would require the following parts:
1. A 16x2 LCD screen(JHD162A used in my case.

2. A 10k potentiometer.

3. LM35 temperature sensor

4. jumper wires

5.A breadboard

6. A Arduino Prototype( Arduino Mega 2560 used in my case)

Step 2: Wire It Up

Connect the LCD and LM35 as shown.

Step 3: Uploading the Code Via USB

#include
float temp;
int tempPin = 0;
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
}

void loop()
{
  temp = analogRead(tempPin);
  temp = temp * 0.48828125;
  Serial.print("TEMPRATURE = ");
  Serial.print(temp);
  Serial.print("*C");
  Serial.println();
  lcd.setCursor(0,0);
  lcd.print("Temperature:");
  lcd.setCursor(0,1);
  lcd.print(temp);
  lcd.print("*c");
  delay(1000);
}
