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.

// include the library code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12);
//declare variables
float tempC;
float tempF;
int tempPin = 1;
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);
}
lcd.print(“Temp1=”);
print temperature label.
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print(“Temp2=”);
print temperature label, start print at column 0, second line (0=1st line, 1=2nd line)
