Arduino Thermometer

This is a thermometer for ambient temperature; it uses a thermistor and displays temperatures from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.

Step 1: Materials and Schematic

Materials:

Seeeduino (or Arduino) X1

Servo X1

10k resistor X1

50k Thermistor X1

Jumper wires

All materials except the board come from Seeedstudio's Sidekick Kit, which can be found here:

The picture illustrates the schematic

Step 2: Code

The code is included in the file. It's modified based on Adafruit's tutorial on thermistors, which can be found here:

http://learn.adafruit.com/thermistor/using-a-therm...

It's the most detailed tutorial I've come across, and it explains very clearly the concept of a thermistor, how to connect it to the board, and how to convert the readings into temperatures.

Step 3: Final Step

With the parts working, we just need to add a box outside of the board to protect the wires, and a panel on the servo that marks the temperatures. The servo's arm will point to the number that corresponds to the ambient temperature, with a range from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
