<p >This is a very simple project that takes the temperature from a TMP36  sensor and displays it in Celsius and Fahrenheit on a 16x2 LCD display.   This is a perfect project if you have the Arduino Starter Kit because  it supplies all the components needed.</p><h3 >The Parts</h3><p >All the parts you need are listed above.  I am using an Arduino Uno but you can use whatever Arduino you want.</p><h3 >The Build</h3><p >The schematic you will need to build this project is below.</p><h3 >The Code</h3><p >The code you will need is also below.  You can download it or you can use the Arduino Web Editor to upload it to your Arduino.</p><h3 >Now Use It!</h3><p >All you need to do now is provide power to your Arduino and this is what you should see on the LCD screen: </p><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/5ca2ca82-afe6-4356-9e2c-89018ee4b07c.JPG /><figcaption>The LCD Screen</figcaption></figure><p >The display updates every 1.5 seconds.</p><p ><strong >NOTE: I know I didn't use a potentiometer so I could adjust the contrast.  You can add one if you want to.</strong></p>
