Waterproof a LM35 Temperature Sensor

Step 4Operational Sensor...but not waterproof

Operational Sensor...but not waterproof
At this point, the sensor is fully operational in the air, but it is not waterproof. I decided to give it a quick test to make sure everything still works.

That's 16.7 mV (16.7 C or 62 F) on the voltmeter. Everything seems to be working.

actually, 16.7mV would result in 1.67C thus giving us a reading of 35F.

you convert mV to V by dividing mV by 1000. which would give us .0167V.

the LM35 is .01V/C, so we then divide our .0167V by the .01 and we get 1.67V/C then you can convert to F from there.
