readTemperature()
Description
Reads the ambient temperature of the temperature sensor and returns a reading in either the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale, depending on the parameter passed.
Syntax
readTemperature(scale)
Parameters
scale: the scale of the output, valid arguments are: DEGREES_C and DEGREES_F
Returns
int : The temperature reading in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The Celsius range is from -40°C to 150°C, the Fahrenheit range is from -40°F to 302°F.
Example
#include <Esplora.h>
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
int celsius = Esplora.readTemperature(DEGREES_C);
int fahrenheit = Esplora.readTemperature(DEGREES_F);
Serial.print(celsius);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(fahrenheit);
delay(1000);
}
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
int celsius = Esplora.readTemperature(DEGREES_C);
int fahrenheit = Esplora.readTemperature(DEGREES_F);
Serial.print(celsius);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(fahrenheit);
delay(1000);
}
