🌡️ Enhance Your Arduino and Raspberry Pi Projects with KOOKYE 5PCS Temperature Sensors TMP36: Precision and Linear Analog Output Review

The schematic on the manufacturer's website that includes UNO is wrong! If you connect it this way, it will fry the part in minutes. The correct pinout (if you look at the labeling on the product): (1 - left) +5V, (2 - middle) analog out, (3 - right) GND. Also, your example Arduino code says it shows Celsius, but it's actually Fahrenheit. Otherwise, the product works well, although it takes 15-20 seconds to adjust even to minor temperature changes.

Happy with TMP36; the sensor readings match. Note 2 points: 1.- Place the TMP36 on the breadboard with the letter side facing the Arduino board and the rounded side facing out. Connect the left pin on the letter side to 5 volts, the middle pin to the analog pin and the right pin to GND.2. TMP36 is very sensitive. To pinpoint, use the jumpers on the breadboard (long pieces) to connect all the pins on the TMP36. Avoid wiring with cables with a black cap around the tip; The sensor may not return…

They seem to be pretty accurate - maybe within 1 degree Fahrenheit. However, I had a lot of trouble getting them to work properly when powered by the same power source as the microchip. Even if I disconnect them from the chip's power supply, they still show fairly random values (+-10 degrees Fahrenheit for example). I never solved this riddle. Even weirder, it works when powered by an Arduino! I think they just filtered out the power supply noise better than I did.

Small, light and reliable. The interface is simple, direct reading, no need for serial circuit. The electronics are sealed, useful in dirty or wet conditions. The power consumption is low. They are accurate, linear and respond to temperature changes fairly quickly. In addition, the company offers a full technical description of the device. PLEASE READ IT. There is a lot of misleading information about pin connections. Connecting Vcc and grounding again will fry the device, burn your fingers and

This is my second batch of temperature sensors from this company. The first batch of 5 was packed in styrofoam and sealed in a silver (nickel plated) anti-static ziplock bag. This package came in a small plastic box. While neither of these methods are optimal, putting them in a plastic box is the worst. At the very least, an anti-static bag will protect them from bumps. But the box can generate a charge if the plastic and lead parts fall over. Luckily the parts are relatively solid. Although I…
