Temperature Sensor LM60

dhenry:

temp =  (Vin / 1024.00 * 1100.00 -424.0) / 6.250 ;

It is always a good idea to use as little floating point math as possible.

Absolutely! That way when you get the equation wrong, you'll hardly notice! :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmm ^^!

I think both formulas are right!

temp = ( ((Vin/1024.00) * 1100.00) / 6.250) + minimum; //minimum = (-424.0/6.25)

Let's say: " (Vin/1024.00) * 1100.00 " = Voltage

Then: temp = Voltage/6.25 - (424/6.25)

Or temp = (Voltage-424)/6.25

So, I don't think there's a problem in the formula ^^! Or it is?! lol
