If you download the code for Circuit 10 from the ardx.org site, you will need to modify it to work with the LM335A. The TPM36 puts out .5V at 0C whereas the LM335A puts out 2.7315V at 0C. So you need to change this line:<br>
temperature = (temperature ? .5) * 100;<br>
to<br>
temperature = (temperature ? 2.7315) * 100;</p>

Please keep looking for errors! We'll fix them as quickly as possible.</p>
