TMP36 weird temperature

Hi All,

I am having an Arduino Uno connected with two TMP36 sensors. I have followed the tutorial from Overview | TMP36 Temperature Sensor | Adafruit Learning System and I get very weird results which i show you below.

I have to say that I am using 3.3V not 5V cause I found after a little search that gives more accurate temperature.

0.49 volts sensor 0
-0.69 degrees C sensor 0
0.49 volts sensor 1
-1.02 degrees C sensor 1
0.49 volts sensor 0
-1.02 degrees C sensor 0
0.49 volts sensor 1
-1.34 degrees C sensor 1
0.49 volts sensor 0
-1.02 degrees C sensor 0
0.49 volts sensor 1
-1.34 degrees C sensor 1
0.49 volts sensor 0
-1.02 degrees C sensor 0
0.49 volts sensor 1
-1.02 degrees C sensor 1
0.49 volts sensor 0
-1.02 degrees C sensor 0
0.49 volts sensor 1
-1.34 degrees C sensor 1
0.49 volts sensor 0
-1.02 degrees C sensor 0
0.49 volts sensor 1
-1.02 degrees C sensor 1

My code is the following:

int sensorPin = 0;
int sensorReading ;
float temperatureC ;
float voltage ;
int sensorPin1 = 1;
int sensorReading1 = 0;
float temperatureC1 = 0;
float voltage1 = 0;

void setup(){
  
      Serial.begin(9600);
}


void loop(){

            sensorReading = analogRead(sensorPin);
            voltage = sensorReading * 3.3;// converting that reading to voltage for 3.3v 
            voltage /= 1024.0;
            Serial.print(voltage); Serial.println(" volts sensor 0"); // print out the voltage        
            temperatureC = (voltage - 0.5) * 100;     //converting from 10 mv per degree wit 500 mV offset  (to degrees ((volatge - 500mV) times 100))     
            Serial.print(temperatureC); Serial.println(" degrees C sensor 0");// print out the temperature degrees C
            sensorReading1 = analogRead(sensorPin1);
            
            voltage1 = sensorReading1 * 3.3;// converting that reading to voltage for 3.3v 
            voltage1 /= 1024.0;
            Serial.print(voltage1); Serial.println(" volts sensor 1"); // print out the voltage        
            temperatureC1 = (voltage1 - 0.5) * 100;     //converting from 10 mv per degree wit 500 mV offset  (to degrees ((volatge - 500mV) times 100))     
            Serial.print(temperatureC1); Serial.println(" degrees C sensor 1");// print out the temperature degrees C
            
            delay(1000);
}

Does anybody seen anything like that?
Is there any chance my sensors to be faulty?

Any help will be much appreciated!
Many Thanks!

I have to say that I am using 3.3V not 5V cause I found after a little search that gives more accurate temperature.

Then those numbers you are seeing must be accurate.

The reason for using 5V is because the values read from the sensor are on a scale of 0 to 1023, where 0 corresponds to 0 volts, and 1023 corresponds to 5V.

You are using an incorrect mapping from reading to voltage when you use 3.3 on a 5V system.

Hi,

Now am using 5V and it works great.

Thanks
