Hi!
I'm trying to start the 3d project (Love-O-Meter), but it seems there's no temperature sensor in my kit. I have found transistors that have BC547 written on them, and one more detail that looks just like them but has MCP written on it, however no details with TMP caption. Is this MCP detail a temperature sensor?
Have you bought an official Arduino starter kit, or a kit from a 3rd party supplier?
That may be it; I think the supply a TO92-housed TMP36 with it. I'd expect it to look like this:
but it's possible you received some sort of clone with different markings.
Can you post a picture that as clearly as possible shows the lettering on the device?
Yeah, that's a functional equivalent to the TMP36. Your product is this one: https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/mcp9700 It's basically a similar product from a different manufacturer.
As I understand you can use the same code to read the TMP36 and MCP9700.
Yay, thanks!
