This arduino projects show how to read Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature with LM35 temperature sensor.
Parts List;
1) 1x 16×2 parallel LCD display (compatible with Hitachi HD44780 driver)
2) 1x Arduino
3) 1x 10kΩ potentiometer
4) 1x LM35 temperature sensor
5) Jumper wire
Instruction;
1) Connect all jumper wire as shown in diagram.
2) Connect LM35 center lead to analog pin 1, make sure ground lead connected to ground and Vs lead to 5V pin.

void setup(){
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
lcd.begin(16, 2);
lcd.print("Temp1=");
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("Temp2=");
}
void loop(){
tempC = analogRead(tempPin); //read the value from the sensor
tempC = (5.0 * tempC * 100.0)/1024.0; //convert the analog data to temperature
tempF = ((tempC*9)/5) + 32; //convert celcius to farenheit
// print result to lcd display
lcd.setCursor(6, 0);
lcd.print(tempC,1);
lcd.print("'C");
lcd.setCursor(6, 1);
lcd.print(tempF,1);
lcd.print("'F");
// sleep...
delay(1000);
