This video shows how to use LM35 Temperature Sensor to display the temperature on LCD screen using Arduino. We will display temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
/*
* This Arduin sketch is to use LM35 to measure temperature
* prints the temperature as C, F or K on the LCD1602 or LCD2004 with I2C module (4 wires)
*
