Lesson goal: Read the temperature of and plot it in real time

Home

As seen in the last lesson, you saw how to read voltages in from the Arduino from the LM35DZ, convert them to $^\circ$C and $^\circ$F, then plot them. Let's do the same here, but with a nicer looking plot. Let's also see how to make the x-axis into a real time (like seconds).

As you run this lesson, try to change the temperature (with ice, your warm breath, a match, pinch in your fingers, etc.) and watch the plot go up and down in response.
seconds()
Move the mouse over a dotted box for more information.

Now you try. Go for it! Fix the analogread argument, and be sure that tempF gets computed as the temperature in $^\circ F$. Fix the graph_point line to plot time vs. temperature.
