Thermometer sample

Overview

This sample application periodically measures the ambient temperature at 1Hz. The result is written to the console.

Wiring

VDD pin should be connected to 2.3V to 5.5V GND pin connected to 0V VOUT pin connected to the ADC input pin.

An overlay is provided for the nrf52840dk_nrf52840 board with the sensor connected to pin AIN7.

Building and Running

To build for the nrf52840dk_nrf52840 board use:

west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840 samples/sensor/thermometer
west flash

To build for other boards and ambient temperature sensors, enable the sensor node that supports SENSOR_CHAN_AMBIENT_TEMP and use an overlay to create an alias named ambient-temp0 to link to the node. See the overlay used for the nrf52840dk_nrf52840 board within this sample: boards/nrf52840dk_nrf52840.overlay
